Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Revision as of 01:23, 9 March 2014 by Im>Dai-Guard(Dai-Guard moved page Breath of Fire IV (Video Game)/YMMV to Breath of Fire IV/YMMV: Remove TVT Namespaces from title)
Alas, Poor Villain: Assuming Fou-lu in IV is considered a villain (as opposed to Complete Monster Yuna), he'd qualify in the "good ending". He recognizes he was blind to the importance of humanity, and Ryu realizes all Fou-lu wanted was to separate mortals from the gods, and always felt guilt for Mami's death. Of course, the manga subverts this in its Third Option Adaptation.
Crowning Music of Awesome: There's a lot of really good music. Arguably, it's even better than Breath of Fire 3.
Game Breaker: using the Kaiser is a lot more tolerable this time, since you can EASILY stock up on Wisdom Seeds by shop in the Fairy Village. And find all the dragon summons? WIN.
Love to Hate: Yuna. Despite quite possibly being one of the most disgustingly evil villains in the franchise whose actions cannot possibly be defended, he's quite popular with the fanbase. Admittedly, the majority of that group wants to see him die in a fire for all he's done, but he's still widely regarded as one of the better antagonists.
Nausea Fuel: Fairy Drops. You start out thinking it's a stone or a precious metal. Turns out it's actually Solid Gold Poop, complete with a scene where the fairy is obviouslydropping a deuce behind a bush. Eww. Made even worse with Nina commenting on how "pretty" it is, and Scias being the sole member of the party even remotely disturbed that they're admiring fairy turds.
Nightmare Fuel: Take your pick: nuclear-weapon-like cannons that require human sacrifice; Nina's sister being turn into an immobile, immortal creature; or the fact that Cray was the one who had to mercy-kill her.
That One Level: Senesta, where the party must take on the exceedingly difficult task of chasing down an incredibly fast orphan.
There's actually a way of fighting them that forces them to use the attacks you want. Good luck figuring it out on your own though. The whole thing isn't helped by the annoyingly long dungeon (with puzzles) and even another boss that will have occurred between your last save point and I and II.
