The Breath of Fire 4 Pain Tour - Stream 7
Channel: Vile Lasagna
Date: 2024-02-11

Video from the seventh stream of my commentated playthrough of Breath of Fire 4.

Back in the rhythm, it's to move onward. The game at this point has kind of shed a lot of story along the way and, instead, it's a lot of just going through maps and fighting a lot.

Consequently, basically nothing happened, but I did pick up some loose ends in terms of collecting all dragon forms as well as the remaining masters (largely) and some skills.

Lots of tech issues this stream. OBS just apparently had a terrible time halfway through and, right at the end, the game actually locked while initiating a combat encounter, something that's going to cost me like half an hour next week. At least all of the recording was safe, though I was worried about that for a bit

--------------------------------

This is part of a project in which I play through Breath of Fire 4 while taking a closer look at some of its themes and how it brings them about, reflecting on both its potential and its failings.

I've written more about my general opinions and what I'm hoping to get out of this whole thing in my blog:
