The last installment of the BoF series on the original Playstation and also the last of the series to follow gameplay that is most reminiscient of the first release. (The game to follow this was the last of the series as of this writing and was on the Playstation 2, which had a VERY different style of play involved.)

You will see, in this installment, two familiarly named characters: Ryu and Nina. Ryu is your blue-haired protagonist who seems to be linked to dragons, and Nina is a magic-using princess of a country named Windia (Wyndia).

There is, however, a twist shown shortly enough along–there is a second controllable character linked to dragons, who has awakened from a long sleep, named Fou-Lu.

This game features the return of combo abilities in battle, as well as learning abilities from goons you encounter in battles. It also retains the Master system from the last title.

Breath of Fire IV is after part No. 3 the second game that has been released for the PlayStation within Europe - unfortunately only in American English. This is the first complete translation of Breath of Fire IV from American English to German language. The translation also includes all graphics within the game.

The old font has been improved due to a better legibility and to achieve more space for additional text. Furthermore the whole text has been provided with a DTE-compression.

All text boxes and menus have been adjusted.

German subtitles have been added to the intro.

Some characters speak dialect to make the game as authentic as the original one.

The censored scenes which can be found in the Japanese version aren’t included yet. The names of the enemies weren’t translated either. However it’s still in progress and maybe one day there’ll be an updated version to fix these missing points too.

• For the patch the NTSC-U-version of the game is required. There're two patches available - Disc at once (DAO) and Track at once (TAO). Take care that you use just one of them and not both at the same time.
