The only real flaw I can dig up here is the game’s lack of any real difficulty battle-wise. Obviously you’ll find yourself in several tight spots, but a well put together six-person party can and will overpower almost any target (save for the 2 or 3 secret/super-strong enemies). Whether that’s a pro or con I’ll leave up to you, but I’d certainly recommend BoFIV to anyone who doesn’t mind a good ol’ fun adventure over challenge.
Been awhile since someone replied to this post. Oh well, I wasn’t a member then, so here’s my 10 cents worth.
BoF IV was a good game, but personally, I felt it lacked the same continuity which was in BoF II and III.
SPOILER
At the end of BoF II, Ryu assumes the form of the Kaiser Dragon and takes the position of his mother, guarding the gate to the underworld, the Dragon town and also the tomb of Deathevn. In BoF III, the mountain is being mined, and you see the dragon has become stone. Inside the mountain, near the peak, a crystal has formed and inside is the reborn Ryu. (I think he’s reborn as a new entity completely.) For myself, the first 3 BoF’s were all linked together. In certain towns, you’d come across the characters who helped you out in the previous games.
BoF IV is, in essence, a good game. Personally, BoF II is my favourite.

Meh. You only got the "sad ending" in Bof II. If you save a "certain someone" in BoF II you’ll a sligthly different ending.
And, NO, the Breath of Fire games are not connected. They’re like Final Fantasy except there’s a few references here and there.
But the story is a little hard to follow. There are a lot of twists to where you’d have to play at least twice. PM me once you beat the game. BoF4 was the best of the series.
All hail Fou-Lu!!!!!
