Breath of Fire IV’s gameplay is refreshingly simple, with only a few minor additions to its predecessor’s battle system. Most noticeably, a new combo system lets spells dish out more damage than when cast alone, by working in conjunction with other spells.

As before, Ryu can transform into a dragon or hybrid half-human, half-dragon creature to gain special attack powers. The party will pick up other drifters throughout the game, some of whom have the power to transform.

Each town opens up a new set of subquests and minigames (yup–there’s another fishing game here, folks), both of which add longevity and replayability to Breath of Fire IV, although not everyone will appreciate the mandatory nature of these diversions.
