New Breath of Fire IV characters

[09.03.99] » Three quirky new characters join the cast, plus additional gameplay information.

   From bipedal fish to talking onions, bizarre characters have always been a trademark of the Breath of Fire series, and the fourth game is set to carry on that tradition. Three new characters have appeared in the pages of Weekly Famitsu: Master, a robot equipped with a variety of tools and weapons (already seen in past screenshots); Clay, a Native American-type character; and Psysas, a sword-wielding dog. No pictures were available of Clay and Psysas, but expect them eventually.

   Other new features in the fourth Breath of Fire game include the ability to jump, which builds on the action RPG-like puzzle elements seen in BOF3. Ryu and company will need to jump to hurdle obstacles and jump across pits.
