GOG quietly released Breath of Fire IV exclusively on GOG, making the cult-classic JRPG natively playable on modern PCs for the first time.
Update: It's official. Breath of Fire IV is available now on GOG.

GOG just uploaded a cryptic post with the silhouette of a character sprite and it looks a lot like Ryu from Breath of Fire IV.
Because GOG personally put the effort in to make the PC version playable on modern PCs, Capcom had little to no part in this remaster. If there's enough demand, we might get a BOF collection later. Just like Eiyuden got us the Suikoden 1/2, Armed Fantasia got us Wild Arms 1 and 2 on PS4/PS5, and I guess Ratatan got us the Patapon collection (although 1 and 2 were already available as PS classics).
There are a bunch of amazing video game genres. A genre that is loved by many is JRPGs. So, let's talk about 10 JRPGs that deserve a remake.
Throw in Arc the Lad, Grandia, Legend of Legaia, Galarians, Xenosaga, Ar Tonelico.
I would even settle for these games being brought to modern consoles.
Personally, I prefer to buy all the "remasters" of classic games on Switch so I can play them @work and on the bus.
I haven't played Parasite Eve since the 90's and I'd love to again!
Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
I wish Capcom would just release a Breath of Fire 3 & 4 HD Collection already. I would buy it day one.
Yes yes
This franchise needs to come back. So many classics still yet untapped in decades. I would love a remake of 2 or 3.
GOG for the win
Bought this in a heartbeat, I hope this shows Capcom we still want Breath of Fire, and hopefully GOG gets us BOF3.
