Deal Details
gog has Breath of Fire IV (PC Digital Download, DRM-Free) for $9.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor Discombobulated for sharing this deal.

Note: This title is part of GOG's Preservation Program and only available through GOG/DRM-Free platform.

About this Game:
  • In a far-away world, two continents float, separated by a vast swamp-land. For eons, no contact existed between the two continents because ships couldn't sail across the expanse. At last, when the historic first contact was made between the two powers, war erupted!
  • After long and costly fighting between the Fou Empire in the west and an alliance of countries in the east, both sides exhausted all their strength and resources. With no other alternative, the two powers agreed to an armistice.
  • One year later, Princess Elena vanished. She had been traveling in the east from town to town, exploring battlegrounds and visiting war veterans. Her trail vanished in a small town near the front line. Nobody knew her whereabouts!
  • The Eastern Alliance wanted to avoid sending a large army to the front. Such a move would be a political blunder, breaking the armistice and stirring up hostilities. It became impossible to carry out a large-scale search for Elena. Time passed... with no sign of the princess.
  • Elena's sister, Princess Nina, finally makes up her mind. She leaves on a journey in search of her sister – by herself.
Improvements:
  • Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11
  • Both 2 localizations of the game included (English and Japanese)
  • Improved DirectX game renderer
  • New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing, and more)
  • Improved audio engine (restored missing environmental sounds and audio configuration)
  • Improved keyboard and mouse support
  • Improved Warehouse and Crane minigames
  • Improved F9 exit screen
  • Issue-free battle and combo system (all crashes have been fixed)
  • Issue-free cutscene scripting
  • Issue-free task switching
  • Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding, vibration, hotplugging and wireless mode

Had to do a double take here, Breath of Fire IV is on PC now!?! The third and fourth games of this series were pillars of my childhood - absolute masterpieces of the JRPG genre. Hell, the soundtracks alone are worth the price of admission, especially the acid jazz of the third game. It makes me so happy that more people will get to experience this franchise now.

I remember playing the first couple of BoF games so long ago on SNES(?), this could be a welcome change from my usual assortment of games.

... i actually feel young reading some of these comments. i played path of radiance on gamecube as entry to this series... and never would have if i didnt play super smash brothers melee edit: wait im dumb that wasnt breath of fire that was fire emblem... when did i play breath of fire then....
They ported the first two SNES games to Game Boy Advance, which would have been the same generation as Game Cube. I would assume that's the most likely way you played any of them. Other than those two, BOF3 and 4 were stuck on PS1 and Dragon Quarter was stuck on PS2.

Neat. BoF are classics. I might have to spin up my emulator and give this series another go.

Dragon Quarter is what they named Breath of Fire 5, it took some wild swings and is very love it or hate it among fans of the series.
