  I grew up really poor and I remember going with my mom to the Metreon in San Francisco and my mom bought BOF4 for me there despite it being 56$. I took it back to my Aunt's house and spent all week playing it. It was one of my favorite experiences in life. Thank you mom

  To those of you wondering why some of the great mechanics from BOF 3 (i.e. gene-splicing) were not in BOF 4, this entire game was made in only 9 months from conception to launch, which is a metaphorical blink of an eye in the game dev world, especially with the quality of the game that was shipped out. I wish I could say the same for the later series, but man, if this had been given 1 or 2 years development, it might have rivalled the final fantasy series.

  I really wish they'd make a Breath of Fire collection on modern platforms. I know 1 and 2 on switch online but would love to have physical of all breath of Fire on switch or ps4 .would also like to see the series revived. I first played breath of Fire on the gba ports. This video made me buy a sealed copy I just found of breath of fire 3 psp for only $35. I also got 4 on ps3 digital

  Fou-lu was close to just giving up his crown and living as a peasant with mami by the sounds of it until the empire came and forced him to run, then of course hitting him with the equivalent of a nuke made from the tortured soul of mami, he even has her charm drop from the sky during this to him, so.. he kinda had more than enough good reason to go insane and hate everything.

  One of the most underrated JRPG ever imo. People dont talk enough about it or count it among the best when it's certainly one of the best the genre has to offer. Please Capcom remaster this game.

  This is quickly turning into my favorite channel for old school JRPG videos. Keep up the great work!

  I still remember being up late at night, day after day, when I was 11 or 12 years old. Summer vacation really went by fast. And even though I didn't understand much back then, this game just captivated me. And 20 years later, it still does. BoF IV has just something magical about it, I've never seen or felt in other games. Be it old school JRPGs or games released in the last 10 years.

  I played this game when I was 20yo, using emulator, and I was honestly stunned at the presentation. The story, the art direction, and the music was on par with Final Fantasy, this game is a true gem!

  This was a true masterpiece. I'm sad there is no collection.

  These games look so good I just can't underestand why they don't make games with this art style anymore (3-4), the enviroment, enemies, and character models and animations look so good... I'm playing BoF 1 on the switch and that one already looks fantastic

  I was seriously ill for a time when I was a kid. I couldn't eat more than broth and nearly died. Playing BoF IV was one of the few bright spots in that time. I've never made time to go back to it (I did finish it), but I always try to remember the bright spot that it was at that time for me.
