Princess Nina’s sister, Elina, has disappeared. Nina and her friend, Cray, set out to find her. Along the way, they encounter a young warrior name Ryu who has no recollection of his past.

This troupe is about to find out that their quest to find Elina will lead them to something much bigger, which will require them to save the world.

Take control of the three-member party (there are a total of six playable characters), and lead them into battle. Any member of the group not in the active party can be rotated into battle. When the going gets tough, have Ryu use his ability to transform into a dragon to give you an extra edge. If your characters keep getting killed, have them train under a master to improve their skills.

Will Nina and the others be able to find Elina and save the world? Put BREATH OF FIRE IV into your PlayStation and find out.

* Features: Six playable characters;
* Create a traveling party with three of the characters
* Characters can be rotated in and out of the main party at will
* Transform into a dragon
* Train under a master to improve skills

Similar to, Breath of Fire III, Breath of Fire IV is a menu-battle RPG that inherits many aspects of its predecessor, and creates new depths to gameplay via a variety of mini-games. When played, these mini-games enhance certain abilities, and add new skills that can be learned from training under masters as well as from enemies. These skills and ability enhancements, when combined with a new combo system, allows players to enhance the effects of attacks or create new spells. Breath of Fire IV features 3D backgrounds and 2D sprite-based characters.
