This brings back memories... What an amazing JRPG!

[@rosskliebenstein8363]

could yall imagine, if they made another one on PS and Xbox today how unbelievable awesome it could be

[@MarkFermin]

Years ago when I was playing this my little brother broke the playstation while I was fighting Foulou, I was too lazy to play it all over again, but thanks to you I can at least see what happened next! haha

[@Musashiden]

This game was awesome the only thing I would take out are the 3d bosses. The spriting in the normal monsters was amazing but the 3d ones felt lifeless and dull.

[@capcom23]

At that time 3D was a biggie so they used it and mixed it. Kinda sad that they went that way. It worked great with Breath of Fire 3

Yes and no at the same time. . . . The orginal dragon forms from bof 1 was still the best.

@Yol Riin Lask i just don't dig the pokemon style dragon forms of bof 4 anymore. Hey, maybe i just grew out of it? I don't know. Bof 1 and 3 had better dragon forms, i feel like those aged better. Take it or leave it.😄😄😄😄

The dialogues has no voices. But I never tired reading those. The dialogues always interesting to read. And the story is great.

[@EnigamiNetshinobi]

how come i got the better ending? I killed my teammates and got to rule the world.

[@NatsaryahTX]

It became a pain to level-up in this game once you hit level 40+. It took a lot of fighting to get a little EXP. If can remember correctly I was around lvl 45 by the end of the game.

[@ronaldkatsuki7413]

It's not that hard if we only reach lv60.. we can farm with "bot" only use burn + eddy and vitalize... I was leveling for about a week only to kill "bot"

[@pot_of_greed2414]

I loathe this BoF-IV with a passion for the first time on expsx emulator, after losing almost 30 hrs of grinding and running the story mode after getting a new smartphone...Anyways Ivory glass should be obtain (I can't remember where to get them) since it can max exp.gain to 65k and the zennies (I'm uncertain)option if I remember that correctly. Other than that, I've been using the cheats on duck station to Speedrun this wasted potential call BoF-IV

Some effects of the spells are not displayed on ePSXe, hopefuly version 1.80 will fix this. I know since i played it on my playstation alot.

This story reminds me so much of Houshin Engi. It took place in ancient China (before Qin in fact), and had to do with gods leaving the world.

Just use warshot on cray its a fairy skill and put all fairys on army and music to get 64% power up, fokus on ryu and focus on scias ( with his king armor from riders) Then wait it until reach 2 poin and reapet warshout on cray, then use vitalise with nina it will make all of your team get 64/68(front line) +12% power ( all team) The use cray triple blow, ryu with shadawwalk and scias with shining blade and KABOOOMMM you can kill Tyrant and astral dragon just for 4-6 turn

[@ashketchum7360]

brings back memories, fuck I remember wen I was a kid my mom even got angry and shut the freakin' PC by the time I beat fou-lou didn't even let me save the game .. took me only 15 min. to beat the crap outta him though ^^ ..

[@gamersmobachannel6689]

How can u get that damage..? I cant do like that 😟😧

[@Kinsanth_]

I dont see a shadowwalk and shining blade combo , what a pity

[@AncientLiteratureDude]

Absolutely love this game, and this ending is a masterpiece. My girlfriend and I are working on voice acting the whole ending, the first part is on my channel now. Remake/re-release when, Capcom?

[@mmomario12]

this fight isn't hard, it's just the first form takes everything out of you and by the time you get to the second form, you've exhausted so much of your AP and Items. that and... I also am extremely under leveled for this fight every time I get to it.

[@lezard2102]

Its not that it has better graphics, they have two different styles. BoF 3 has harsher drawlines and solid colours, whereas Breath of Fire IV lacks the drawlines and has colour degradation. The only point where they screwed it up was when they introduced 3D models in a 2D sprites game, like the Astral Dragon for Example.

[@TheSoiken]

First time I got to Fou-Lu (age 9) I was like "let's do this", after an hour of fighting I was like "Yes! I fianlly beat him, god He was so hard, unbelievable" and then His second form appears and I'm just like "... No... but I have to, it's already 4am and dad's getting back home at 6". #EDIT- Forgot to add that I beat him with levels 25-30.

[@jeffwarren8667]

Me too...

[@arthurjohnson7272]

yeah sure....you beat him with levels 25-30..... it took me 3 days to fight fou-lu because I was level 7 when I beat him

[@decastar2819]

How are you guys able to beat the first form with such underleveled party 💀

[@TheSoiken]

@@decastar2819 I still re-play the game nearly every year and as a grown up it's not that difficult to beat him with 25-30. Years ago without internet and only a PSX you had no way to check the bot exp farm etc. and farming anything for more than 10 minutes was a drag so we'd rather advance and try every 2-3 levels.

[@bubblegumxo]

I know this is 8 years old and you may never even play this game again lol. But you're supposed to always use Super Combo as the 3rd input. That way the meter will be fully charged and you can get extra hits. 😁

I once came with lvl 65 into that battle and it was really not that hard anymore , with more than enough healing items at my disposal and also dmg counts after buffing above 10 k with shadowwalk and shining blade . Was quite amusing in the end

[@hitkid2456]

You probably don't even need to be at that level to make it so easy, with certain items you can conserve your AP and stuff and fight beyond your ability. I thought that aspect was pretty cool.

5 does too and has a stellar soundtrack to boot. But forget the failed MMO.

[@madnight1553]

this is pretty bad ending. yuna is around without stronger being keep them in check. he is basically free to do whatever dark magic he want without worries now that fou lu is gone for good. and the new ryu looks like dont really think or care that far to rout out evil. all he care is that to not allow godly power interfere with human society. can't say i agree with ryu here, tho fou lu ending is too vague to interpret but i believe he at least kill those evil humans. anyway bof4 is splendid dark fantasy game which provokes mind to think and ponder about religion and humanity.

[@NWOtion]

I killed him today with characters at level 37 and 36 and my characters didnt have all these moves. I killed him on my first try. This game is easy. This guy is focusing too much on using focus and buffing characters. For the first dragon fight just have Ryu go into the flame dragon and cast the level 3 fire followed by ursula or ershin using inferno and end with a typhoon from nina or ershin and he goes down easily. Focus with scias and then put him back and use him after three focuses with shining blade. the second fight is basically the same. Spam Combo magic and use scias' shining blade. This guy took way too long with his overpowered characters and all dragon spells.

[@bopdog111]

Good for you.

[@MorshTalon]

really his normal attacks are your biggest concern since they can one-shot Nina or Ursula if you didn't focus on raising their defense through masters.

Stop smoking weed or whatever you're addicted to and you'll see these are pretty neat graphics. The animation here is far more fluid and variable, and the motions such as the flow of hair easily make it the best game in terms of visuals.

[@omegasupreme5527]

@@sharilshahed6106 Pretty neat washed out dull colors look? The use of a more vibrant color palette would have done wonders for this game. You're confusing animation quality for art style. The art style in this game sucks the animation quality doesn't.
