Capcom’s wonderful Breath of Fire 4 is finally available digitally thanks to GOG—I just wish it wasn’t quite so faithful to a 22-year-old port

GOG's game preservation program, launched in November, has curated over 100 titles to ensure classic games run smoothly on modern hardware and provides technical support for buyers. A recent addition is Capcom's PC port of Breath of Fire 4, which is now available digitally for the first time. The game features a captivating narrative, artwork, and a fishing minigame, but its port lacks unique enhancements and is considered inferior to other versions. Despite GOG's updates for controller support and technical issues, the experience is similar to the original PlayStation version. GOG claims this is the best PC version of Breath of Fire 4, though it is the only available PC port.
