THE GOOD:
Great story, fun gameplay, really intricate battle system, music is somewhat good.

THE BAD:
Some of the parts of the story was annoying, difficulty is on an extremely easy level throughout most of the game.

SUMMARY:
Breath of Fire IV is an awesome game. First of all, the story is really remarkable since it also has to do with the previous, but not to the extent of continuing from it directly. It does have a few bit of elements of the previous Breath of Fire game, and surely, it lives up to its name. The gameplay is fun because the battle system is advaliable for you to manipulate, because you can switch to the back row when you're low on health, or you just don't want to be injured as much. There are a lot of mini games that you can do, and it really is fun because you get a sense of pride when you actually master everything.

Moving on, the music in BOF IV is really something. I'm not really a fan of this type of music that's...

The Breath of Fire series started long ago on the SNES. The first game was not really a great hit, but I did like the second. The third game, which also was a great game for all Playstation owners. Recently, Capcom released the fourth installment in the series, BOF4. Fans of the series should be very happy with some of the improvements made to this installment, and, some of the great old features that we all know and love.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is similar to that of BOF3, but it has some improvements. In battle, you still have 3 characters that you control, but there are also spaces for 3 characters in the back row. You can switch the rows if your characters get weak, or if you just need to change for some reason. Also, in the back row, characters will recover AP, and occationally, will add in an attack. The world map has been drastically changed compared to the other BOF games. Instead of a free roaming world map, you have to follow paths, that connect towns and...

-First,talk to the small kid playing with his dumb toy near the collapsed wall in orphanage to get the first kid.
-Go east,the second kid must be under the archway near the orphanage .
-The next kid is under the opening where the town entrance is,easy to find.
-Other kid is on the stairs next to the entrance that lead to the walkway(I spend time to search this...

THE GOOD:
dual storyline, improved apprenticeship and Dragon systems, mini-games, solid gameplay

THE BAD:
a bit too easy, irksome music, the endings

SUMMARY:
I learned of Breath of Fire IV through a friend at the university. I'm quite a diehard fan of RPG titles, and she never was until she picked up this title; she couldn't keep her hands off of it. If that were the case, I figured there was something redeeming, to say the least, about this sequel in the series.

Having played through the third installment, I was incredibly glad to see a much thicker plot in this title. Unlike the loosely connected quests before that really are glorified dungeon hacks and scavenger searches for who needs what item to get to the next area, Breath of Fire IV features a flowing tale of the battle between gods and a corrupt humanity seeking to destroy itself through war. Ryu reappears as the main character except he's given an immense importance as one...

THE GOOD:
Hmmm....It looks like breath of fire is taking a new direction in the stories. It's more creative and better storylines. The battle system is like final fantasy 10. (by switching characters in battle.) An excellent beginner game.

THE BAD:
Gets boring after about 2 hours. All the music sounds the same.

SUMMARY:
Altogether, this isn't a bad game. Good character designs. Cities seem like actual cities because of how crowded cities are. The world map is different as well.
Personally, this world map seems more suitable for a breath of fire.

THE GOOD:
-Cool fighting system
-Dragon Transformations/Summons
-More Mini Games
-Two actual main characters
-More towns than in any other BoF

THE BAD:
-Lame 2d graphics
-Gets boring after 1 or 2 times of playing it
-Gets kinda annoiying swiching back and forth through main chracters

SUMMARY:
Well, I thought this was a pretty good game not the best but good none the less. It features 2d and 3d graphics at once, which gets kinda weird sometimes but is still cool to see. Some of you might not like it as much because of Final Fantasy, but personally, I like it a little bit better. It is pretty cool to see a Tight looking dragon suddenly appear in battle, when you summon or transform into one. Oh yeah, it also comebines anime into the fight, which is sweeet. But if you want a good RPG, with at least 40 hours or more of play, with alot of side quests and mini games, extremely hard bosses, and alot of cool spells, then...

THE GOOD:
Everything you could want from a classic series of rpg's. You have an in depth story line, great bosses that actually pose a challenge and the plethora of mini-games and such that you could entertain yourself with.

THE BAD:
The bosses at the end are way to hard, unless you use my good friend Gameshark Ver 2.0 Hehe. But if your not into having Uber char's make sure to get the strategy guide

SUMMARY:
Blah Blah Blah did I mention that ryu's dragon powers are awsome, *Spoiler* Especially when he messes baddies up with the Kaiser dragon *Spoiler end*
