/vr/ - Retro Games

Considering that the term nostalgia was originally the name of a crippling mental disorder afflicting people with a desire to relive the past, how does that relate to how many people here view the hobby of retro gaming? Many are actively chasing the sensation of nostalgia, are they desiring to be mentally ill?

>Breath of Fire 4 is better in literally every way.

Pretty much this. If you're planning to play all of them then start at 1 and work your way through. Otherwise just play IV if you want the best BoF experience.

I always liked BoFIV's Ryu design. He's a good balance to the rest of the cast being more wacky.

>even though the East Asian look to it kind of puts me off.

But that's one of the best parts of the game. The change from tired medieval England fantasty is a much needed breath of fresh air

Not to mention all the properly used Budhist symbolism

BoF4 improved on the master system greatly

combine that with combo system and you're in for a good time
