Breath of Fire IV

I had forgotten how beautiful the music in this game is.

now BOF3 and i dont need anything else :D thank you GOG <3 Finally i can play this masterpiece on pc,and i dont mind paying for it!!!

Breath of Fire is my favorite JRPG series (other than Chrono Trigger/Cross, if you call 2 games a series), and BoF 3 is my favorite in the series. Next to that, would be BoF 2 and 4 roughly tied, then last would be 1 and Dragon Quarter, those games are kinda funky, but still good. We don't talk about the 6th one. In BoF tradition, your party consists of nothing but demi-humans and anthros, because if you had even 1 human in your party, that would be weird (for Breath of Fire). In both BoF 3 and 4, there is a unique enemy skill learning system, that almost no other JRPG has done (all I can think of is some FF games with Blue Magic and Enemy Skill materia), where you examine enemies and wait for them to cast a learnable skill, then whichever characters were examining them has a chance to learn it upon the enemy casting it. Only 1 instance of a skill can be learned at a time, but they can be transferred to other characters via use of a Skill Ink. There is also a Master system in BoF3/4, that influences stat growth, as well as teach characters useful abilities. Breath of Fire 3 had the far more interesting dragon system, where you find dragon genes throughout the game, and combine up to 3 of them in battle for many different wacky combinations of dragons, with different stats and abilities. In BoF 4, you just find the dragon lads playing hide n' seek after a certain point in the game, no derg combo system. There is the dragon summons, at least. There's also a Faerie Village system (also present in 3) where it's a town building minigame, where you build up useful item/weapon shops, among other things. BoF 4 also has a cool combo system, where you cast spells in order to unleash a more powerful combo spell, such as Fire + Wind = Simoon, etc. All of your party members are with you at all times in battle, with reserves being in the back row. Kind of like FF10, but better. Amazing JRPG series, wish Capcom would bring it back. Or at least port more games in the future.

I hope alot of people download this game because maybe it might make people want a modern Breath of FIre.

Thank you very much for this wonderful work, I am very happy with the memories I have of this game. I finished it the first time in Japanese, as soon as it was released, I drew the kanji and looked for the translation to do some more difficult quests. Thank you again.
