Anyone know how many agility needed to ex turn final bosses?

Bonus question: Physical def is calculated not only personal def, but also total party def. Does it also applied for magic def? Also counting party int in the calculation?

Anybody had the issue of trying to play Breath of Fire 4 on steam deck, but after the initial cutscenes, can't pass the "press start screen"?

My "x" command work to stop the cutscenes, but no command actually pass the start screen. Tried change proton version or remapping the controller and didn't worked. Any but have a solution for this?

Massive kudos to speedrunners The_Sid_ and SwimmyLionni, who raced each other in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter during RPG Limit Break's charity speedrun marathon held in support of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)!

I'm playing BOFIII for the first time and was just curious about at what point of the story I'm at towards the final act. I got the passport with Nina and Rei as adult Ryu and about to head east.

I'm also curious since the pacing for BOFIII compared to IV is a bit all over the place and not as well finessed. I'm kinda enjoying it since I do love the mechanics, sprite work, music, and traditional JPRG turn based combat, partially also asking since it is kind of a slog to get through because the story is mishandled in its pacing and not as focused as it could be.

Thanks, guys.

New the version  1.5
An existing save file is no longer needed. That check is now skipped completely.

Now comes with an optional MSU-1 patch.

Nina is immune to Quake

If Sten is in the first slot you have a good chance of getting a "Load off attack"

Ryu's post game super form now keeps his palette everywere. He also has a new appearace in the menu while its active.

Romhacking.net wont update the damn link so use this one

Thinking of getting this on GOG. I know earlier the version had audio issues with looping and reverb. Have these been fixed? Any other reasons this version is worse than emulated PS, which I already have (other than censorship)?

Hello, as you know, BOF4 was released on Steam, and I am playing through the game again. The last time was over 20 years ago on my PS1. Long story short, my faerie village has 20 faeries, and I am at the end game, trying to defeat the treant to farm XP. I noticed my faerie skills were very weak, so I went into the village, switched two shops (art and music) to troop shops, and placed high-endurance fairies in them. Now, I have three troop shops: one at level 24, one at level 25, and one at level 1. Suddenly, I can no longer use War Shout. I continued the story, fighting to grow the village, and every time I return, I try to improve the shops by changing fairies to ensure the ones with the highest endurance are in the troops; the shops seem unchanged. The level 1 troop shop has 3 fairies and a nearly fully blue bar at the top, while the level 24 shop’s bar is completely blue (probably a level or progress bar). Additionally, my food supply is decreasing despite having 6 fairies hunting. I’m unsure what’s happening—perhaps I should revert some fairies to building and farming and only keep two troop shops? Any help?

I want to know what meme (unoptimal) build to make the run feels different but not too difficult/grindy. I have a few in mind like 3 mages (Nina, Ryu, Momo), Physical Nina, Hypercarry Garr, Support Rei. Any suggestions?

Note: no stat-increasing items grind, except for stealing def increasing item from that lava boulder, i tend to grind there for the item and level.
