Breath of Fire IV: Great game

80% score
This was a great game. I loved the fighting system. Unfortunately, I think this game was cut short... There's this enemy in the storyline who you don't even get to fight! He just kinda hangs around to show the gamer that the story isn't over. That there should be a sequel. Is Breath of Fire 5 going to continue this? I doubt it... of course, I really don't know WHAT BoF5 is gonna be about. I know BoF 1 and 2 were slightly related. But part 4 had nothing to do with the first two. So I'm thinking that BoF4 is just some game that finishes with a cliffhanger. So unfortunate to see this game with lots of potential have absolutely no real climax. You're left finishing the game thinking to yourself "Dude, this game is missing stuff!" Oh well... what you do get is well worth the sorry story... which is only sorry at the end when you realize that you're getting less than you should be. This game really should've been two discs. And the controls are clunky at times. Oh, and the ending theme and credits are all in Japanese. Damn, Capcom! Stop being so lazy! Yes I'm bashing this game a lot but the gameplay and graphics and characters are enough for me to give it a 4.0 score.
