Translation description

Breath of Fire IV is after part No. 3 the second game that has been released for the PlayStation within Europe - unfortunately only in American English.
This is the first complete translation of Breath of Fire IV from American English to German language. The translation also includes all graphics within the game.

The old font has been improved due to a better legibility and to achieve more space for additional text. Furthermore the whole text has been provided with a DTE-compression.

All text boxes and menus have been adjusted.

German subtitles have been added to the intro.

Some characters speak dialect to make the game as authentic as the original one.

The censored scenes which can be found in the Japanese version aren't included yet. The names of the enemies weren't translated either. However it's still in progress and maybe one day there'll be an updated version to fix these missing points too.

Worthy and entertaining translationPoe2022-01-01Version 1.0

Breath of Fire IV for the PlayStation was the first game of the series that I played on this console. After experiencing Part I and II on the SNES my expectations were pretty high. Well, I wasn't disappointed at all.

As far as I know this is the first and only German translation and I think its pretty well done. I like the story the most in comparison to the former parts. I also like how some characters talk in different ways and dialects. I can imagine that it's been quite difficult to transfer the dialects into German but in my opinion the result is quite good.

Now I can enjoy the whole game with its story in German and I like it so much wherefore I recommend it to other fans either. You should really give it a try and travel with Ryu and Fou Lu through the world of Breath of Fire IV - it's worth it.
