Sebastian Broman "This Game Is Refreshing Compared To The Other Installments Of The Series Like All They Were Before, Also I Believe That It Is The True Begining Of The Bof World."

Aaron Oberne "Tis Good Game No Dought. Still It Lacks Optional Detailing And Hand Configuration Movement. The Minigames Are Quit Idealistic. But By All Means Why Am I Always At Level 29 When I Face The Main Boss. I Thought The Game Would Be Long Enouth That I Would Be At The Same Level As Fuo-lu. And Why Does Clay Learn Magic, It Sacks Up His Attack Power. Urlusa Or Nina Should Have The Earth Magics Not Clay. And Why Is There Only Six Playable Characters, And Why Isn't Tyr The Main Boss. And Why Is Ryu And Nina's Names Used In Every Bof. What Is Nina From Bof Iv Nina I, Bof I Nina Ii, Bof Ii Nina Iii, And Bof Iii Nina Iv. And What Reason Is That Were-fox Or Were-mink Trying To Create Gods. And Why Is Their No Fusions Like Their Is In The Other Games. And Why Doesn't Fou-lu Take Part In The Game As A Part Of The Party. This What I Say Would Inprove The Game Have Ryu's Name Be Shion, Let Nina's Name Be Arisu. Have Clay Not To Learn Magic. Let Their Be 9 Playable Characters, Shion(with Only Aura And Wyvern)(have His Dragon Use Explosion And Eruption Magics), Arisu, Ursula, Clay(without Earth Magic), Urshin(without Magic)(do Not Have Urshin Talk Until The Ending), Fou-lu (with Only Astral And Serpent(but Look Actually Like A Serpent)(and Have His Dragon Use Dysater And Effect Magics), Deis (with (my Opinion) A Teal Look Alike Of Astral/aura With A Thunderbird As Her Evolved Dragon (have Her Dragon Use Lightning And Cure Magics), Scias (without Curing Magics, But With The Ice Magics, Momo (hey She's In The Game And Appears Before The The Ending Unlike The Others)(let Her Have The Curing Magics And Earth Magics). Oh Yeah Let The Three Dragons Have The Fuse Option. Let Their Fuse Form Turn Into Kaiser Which Can Perform Both Kaiser's And Tyrant's Dragon Attacks, Aura Smash, And That Multi Weakness Attack, But Have It Not Be Functional Against Bosses And Have Their Highest Fire, Water, Wind, And Earth Spells So You Can Still Have The Spell Combo Magics. Have Shion (ryu) Met Arisu (nina At The Middle Of The Game. Have Shion (ryu) Meet Ursula Earlier And Scias Latter, But Before Meeting Arisu (nina) And Clay. Have Fou-lu And Momo Team Up Early In The Game But Before They Met Shion, Arisu, Ursula, Urshin, Deis, Skias, And Clay. Have Clay And Urshin Have Their Own Fusion. Have Momo, Arisu, Ursula, And Skias Have Their Own Fusion. I Bet This Version Wouldn't Be So Boring Aslong As They Have The Same Minigames And Other Characters In The Same Reactment. And Same Music And Graphics."

Brett Evan Lee Taylor "This Game Is One Of The Best In The Bof Series. The Combo System Is New Feature I Like. The Story Line Is Good. It Even Has A Good Sense Of Humor Which This Game Needs To Be A Great Game. But Personally My Favorite Game In The Series Is Breath Of Fire 3."

Samer Omer "Story Line Of The Game Is Very Capturing, I Kept Playing It For More Than One Month.. Ending The Game At The Last Fight Was A Nightmare For Me Cause It Was Really Tough Due To My Skipping Of Fights.. My Advice Is To Enter As Much Fights As U Can .."

Clive Almond "A Very Refreshing Change From Blocky 3d... I Can't Wait For No.5 It Was Actualy Let Down Only By It's 3d But The 2d Was Great... I Wish It Was A Longer Game Though."

Nick Masters "I Think Its A Great Game And I'm Hooked To It. This Is A Game Where You Should Not Look At The Graphics Because They Have There Own Style I Guess And I Think It's Great. If You Ever Want To Feel Powerfull This Is Your Game Cause In The Skin Of Fou-lou Your Dame Strong And A God Sort Of. I'm A Rpg Fan And One Of The Worst Kind But This Game Is Simply Cool. The Intro Movie Is Great But I'm Not Yet Sure But I Think It's The Only One. The Character Is For Some A Little Bit Like Bof3 Like Cray Who Looks Like Rei. Than You Have Ursela That May Look Differentt But She Has Long Ears And A Gun Like Momo. And Well We Al Know Ryu And Nina The Dragonforms A Great. The Mini Games A Original And Fun To Play. The Story Is Up To Now Real Cool. To Me The Game Is Great The Only Down Point Is A Litlle Bit Too Little Fmv But That's Not Why We Buy A Game. A Game Is To Play. To Me A Must Have"

Because He Change To A Big Dragon And ...... Attack !"

Juri Koponen "This Game Is Great! I Have Played Only Breath Of Fire 3 Before, But Still I Love Bof Series! The Bof 4 Has Got Better Battle System Than Bof 3, But Bof 3 Has Got Better Storyline, Because Bof 4 Has Got More Quest Based Storyline. You Got To Go To There And Get This And Bring It To This And That Person To Get The Ultimate This And That! But Still This Game Rocks!"

God D "This Game Rules So Far, And I'm About 3/4 Through The Game, I Think. Anyways, This Game Is So Addicting With The Dragon Spells And Whatnot. The Characters Are High Class And The Magic Spells Are Great In Use Of Combonations. And Plus, The Intertwining Journies, If That's Not Cool Than I Don't Know What Is, And Of Course, I Know What Is. I Encourage Anyone Who Said This Game Is Bad To Actually Get Into It And Play It To The Fullest, I'm Positive You Will Change Your Minds. This Is One High Quality Game."

Paul Balagtas (pjb) "The Game Is Quite Intimidating The Story Line Is Not Good The All You Have To Do All The Time Is Talk,talk,talk And Walk,walk,walk And Fight,fight,fight The Characters Took A Lot Of Time In Leveling Up.i'm Sure This Is One Of The Most Boring Game Ever Made...."

Chris Brickwedde "Well This Is The Fourth One In The Series...yawn...oh Wait Im Awake Now... The Breath Of Fire Series Desperately Needed This Game. Once You Get Past The First Couple Of Hours Or So The Game Really Begins To Take Off And The Gameplay Is Non-stop Active In The Game (something Most Psx Rpgs Lack). Once Again You Take The Control Of A Boy Named Ryu. He Is Summoned To The World By The Empire Of Fo-lou To Use Against The Alliance Of Nations To The East. His Sould Seperated By And Alter Ego By The Emporor Who Single Handedly Untited The Western Part Of The World Into The Fo-lou Empire. Along His Journey He Meets A Girl Named Nina And With Her Companion Cray They Set Forth To Look For Her Missing Sister, The Princess Of Wyndia. This Chapter Of The Saga, Will Provide You With Hours Of Enertainment, And Enjoyment, So Far I Have The Clock At 20 Some Odd Hours And Still Ticking... Despite The Tragedy That Was Bof3, This Game Refreshes The Ideals And Concepts Of This Series. The Story Is Diffrent And Much Darker Than The Previous 2 Titles (the Game Has Similar Elements To The Original Breath Of Fire) And The Combat System Introduces What I Think To Be One Of The Most Fluent Combo Attack Systems I Have Ever Seen In A Game. If It Got Better Then Bof4 Would Have Been A Fighting Game!!! Many Mini Games And Plenty Of Places To Be Explored. This One Uses The Concept Of Ff8 And Does It Correctly, Not Making A Multi Character Senario's Bogg Down And Destroy Game Play. This Is A Must Play For All Bof Fans And And Something That Should At Least Be Rented By Most Other People To At Least See What The Game Has To Offer."
