Breath of Fire 4 was my first true RPG. Still remember running around it just enjoying the beautiful music and graphics. It got me into the rest of gaming. BoF4 thanks for introducing me to Zelda, Metroid, Ace Attorney, Mass Effect, Fallout, Elder Scrolls and all the other games I love. BoF4 wil always have a special place in my heart.
Look at any other PS1 game that used sprite based graphics, or most other PS1 games in general. Breath of Fire 4 had great graphics for its time, and enough animation to convey emotions at the right times. The only games that put the graphics into questions were FF8 and 9. This game looked way better than Final Fanatsy Tactics or Tales of Destiny, games that used the whole 2D characters in a 3D world style.
@Riketz You think so? I think BoF 3's graphics are way superior to 4 which looks kinda bland and the 3d-dragon-summon-animations are really really ugly. I'd say Suikoden II, BoF III and Wild Arms (outside of battles) look all better than BoF IV
@Antimatzist I thought BoF4's sprites were decent, but BoF3's come off as more detailed and therefore more polished.
But yes, they really should've stuck with 2D dragon summons/transformations. 3D was still a new, shiny thing at the time, but using 3D graphics in the earlier gens makes games look dated that much faster. Good 2D graphics look fresh forever.
They made up for the bad graphics (although I dont really agree I prefer 2-d games) with the magic and transformations as well as the dragon summons it was awesome
Well, I wouldn't say the graphics suck. It's just a classic style of visuals. In fact, I actually liked how it was handled, in other rpgs prior to this game which took advantage of 3D surroundings with 2D sprites, the areas looked blocky. In this game, there's was a touch of class and wonderful work for ps1.

I know what you mean, but after a while I kinda liked the look of BOF4 it somehow reminded me of tea...dunno why, just relaxing I guess.
