Breath of Fire IV, released in Japan as Breath of Fire IV: Utsurowazaru Mono (ブレス オブ ファイアIV うつろわざるもの) is a role-playing video game developed by Capcom, and is the fourth game in the Breath of Fireseries. It was originally released for the PlayStation home console in Japan and North America in 2000, and Europe in 2001. The game was later ported to Windows-based PCs in Europe and Japan in 2003.[1]
Just as in previous games of the series, Breath of Fire IV follows the adventures of a young man named Ryu, who has the power to transform into powerful dragons. The Ryu in this game must team up with several other skilled warriors to combat an awakened immortal emperor from ascending to godhood and destroying the world of man. Like Breath of Fire III, the game utilizes a mix of two and three-dimensional computer graphics and turn-based battle sequences.
