Breath of Fire IV is a Japanese role playing game that was developed by Capcom Development-Studio 3, and was published by Capcom. The game was released on April 27, 2000. Due to Capcom wanting to make the game more family-friendly the International release was censored, as a result sexuality and violence were toned down.
