Breath of Fire IV (PS) (U) Platform: PlayStation Condition: Pre-Owned/Used in Very Good Condition This Title Also Available As: New: Brand New and Sealed games available Please get in touch for information on these options. Pre-owned games supplied with applicable serial keys. However - please note: Any single use keys or activation codes may have already been used/redeemed. Product Information 3000 frames of animation for each character set in beautifully landscaped 3D backgrounds Tactical Battle System Revolutionary Combo system Dragon transformation players to transform their character (Ryu or Fou-Lu) into a dragon Summon Dragon Ryu will be able to summon Dragons Product Description Review. Although the fourth instalment in the Breath of Fire series is a fine role-playing game, it doesn't quite hold a flame to the best of the alternatives. Breath of Fire IV is a single-player game that continues the story with these "dragon people" who gave their lives to eradicate the evil goddess and restore peace in their world. This time around, battle has broken out between two powerful continents, and the fair Princess Elena has disappeared during a tour of the war-torn region. The princess's sister, Nina, who reigns o'er the Windia Kingdom, vows to retrieve her missing sibling. She meets Ryu along the way, who joins the epic quest. Breath of Fire IV's gameplay is refreshingly simple, with only a few minor additions to its predecessor's battle system. Most noticeably, a new combo system lets spells dish out more damage than when cast alone, by working in conjunction with other spells. As before, Ryu can transform into a dragon or hybrid half-human, half-dragon creature to gain special attack powers. The party will pick up other drifters throughout the game, some of whom have the power to transform. Each town opens up a new set of subquests and minigames (yup--there's another fishing game here, folks), both of which add longevity and replayability to Breath of Fire IV, although not everyone will appreciate the mandatory nature of these diversions. Like many Japanese-bred RPGs, the musical score and crisp sound effects are excellent, but there is very little voice talent in the game. In all, Breath of Fire IV is a solid, although not fantastic, RPG. -- Todd Mowatt Manufacturer's Description Breath of Fire IV continues the epic tale of the dragon people who gave their lives to destroy the evil goddess of the land and bring peace back to their world. In this incarnation, a war has taken place between two continents separated by a nearly impenetrable swampland The fair Princess Elena travels to comfort the battle-worn people of the land, but after stopping in a small town she goes missing. Nina, Elena's sister, and herself princess of Windia Kingdom, sets out in search of Elena and on her journey finds Ryu, who joins up in her quest. Breath of Fire IV is a one-player role-playing game that combines two-dimensional Japanese anime-style characters with a fully three-dimensional, interactive environment. Players can explore immense 3-D surroundings and, with a touch of a button, change the camera view to reveal secret passageways, hidden treasures, power-ups or even monsters lying in wait.
