GOG specifically cited the JRPG Breath of Fire IV as a game that people voted for when heading to the GOG Dreamlist official site to request PC games that should be brought back, restored, and sold on the storefront. If you visit the page, it currently has over 11,110 votes as of 11am ET on February 13, 2025.
How this process works is GOG asks people to vote on the Dreamlist for PC games they want to see return, and then the company will work with the developers and publishers to see if games could be brought back. In so doing, any compatibility issues would be addressed. They’d then be sold for people to play again.
As of February 13, 2025, here are some of the more popular games highlighted on the GOG Dreamlist main page:
- Black and White – over 80,280 votes
- Command and Conquer: The Ultimate Collection – over 69,310 votes
- Black and White 2 – over 66,890 votes
- Freelancer – over 63,980 votes
- The Operative: No One Lives Forever – over 63,350 votes
As usual for a game in the series, Breath of Fire IV stars a young man who can turn into a dragon named Ryu and a young princess with wings named Nina. He’s suffering from amnesia, and she’s searching for her missing sister. The two end up traveling together to search for her sibling and discover who Ryu really is in a war-torn land, which is even more destabilized than usual due to the reawakening of a god named Fou-Lu.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a game in the series or reference to the Capcom JRPG. One of its last appearances was in Teppen. The last entry was Breath of Fire 6, which only appeared on PCs and mobile devices in Japan in 2016.
Breath of Fire IV is available on the PlayStation worldwide, and it appeared on the PC in both Japan and Europe.
