Breath of Fire IV is a role-playing game released in 2000 for the PlayStation, developed by Capcom.
It landed about 5 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 2000 include Final Fantasy IX, Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
It is part of the Breath of Fire series; on the PS1 you can also try Breath of Fire III. The series also appears on other systems with Breath of Fire II (SNES) and Breath of Fire (SNES). Capcom also made Street Fighter Alpha, Mega Man 6 and Dino Crisis 2 for the PS1.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
- you want to experience one of the PS1's defining games
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Breath of Fire IV is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
