Funny / Breath of Fire IV

Go To

Video Game:

  • Nina's Naked First Impression of Ryu, justified by him not having *existed* prior to that second. She turns around and awkwardly asks him to put some clothes on and Ryu just looks at her, then he looks down.
  • Ryu and Nina are walking on a cliff when Nina slips and falls. Ryu jumps down to save her...then on the way down, sees her wings...and has an epic faceplant. It's also a Gameplay and Story Segregation, as Nina can use her field ability before this happens, and Ryu was blissfully unaware.
  • The first time it was hinted that Ryu and Fou-lu are connected. Fou-lu casually slaughters a pair of soldiers...then, in another continent, Ryu wakes up like he saw the whole thing, and shudders.
  • Ershin declaring "It would appear we have found Nina"...after Nina has just fallen on top of Ryu in a rather...interesting position.
  • How do the fairies send the party to their home? By dropping objects on their heads.
  • Scias' priceless reaction to what a Faerie Drop actually is.
  • Nina realizes that the reason the Empire is so interested in expanding territory in the Eastern Lands is because they were looking for Ryu, because he's a dragon. She lists all the strange happenings since he appeared, and sums it all up with: "Nothing about him is normal!" causing Ryu to deflate with rejection. Nina had to retract her statement that she didn't mean that she didn't like him or anything.
  • The first time Deis is in a non-robotic body. The first thing she does? Kvetching about the body. The second thing? Putting Lina Inverse to shame in the Big Eater department and justifying it as offerings.
  • Ursula and Scias running off to steal a sandflier before the rest of the party can protest...only to reveal that the owner of the hijacked craft is Marlok.
  • Ursula suggests a more violent approach to getting through the guards at the Shikk Checkpoint, but Cray shoots it down and decides to try some diplomacy instead. As soon as he gets near, however, the guards recognize him as a fugitive and attack. Cray deals with them easily, until a whole platoon shows up, and Cray skedaddles out of there.
  • Ursula's greatest fear.
    • That whole "ship" thing was a giant Funny Moments for Ursula. When the sailors first protest about a woman being on their ship, Kahn shows up out of nowhere. Ursula, being Ursula, nonchalantly shoots him down, skipping a potential fight with him, to prove her strength to the captain, who finds the situation awkward.
      "Well...that's not exactly what I had in mind..."
    • And during the actual voyage Kahn attacks the ship and Ursula is up in arms because she thinks they are back.
  • At the entrance of the final dungeon, Ershin assures General Rhun that Ryu will never turn on humanity, because he's "completely under Nina's thumb". Nina's flustered reaction is priceless.
  • In general, Ershin's unusual speaking patterns can be quite funny with their rambling, redundant, Third-Person Person nature, reminiscent of Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls. Coupled with the fact that when she gets pushy and insistent, her character portrait tends to gradually zoom in closer to her face, complete with Red Eyes, Take Warning, and she comes off almost a little deranged even when talking about the most mundane things. Ultimately, though, she's harmless and friendly.


Manga Adaptation:

  • In the manga, Nina calls Cray "Nii-sama", which is a very formal and personal way of addressing your big brother, so when Ryu finds out that Nina and Cray aren't actually related, his response is "That explains why they don't look alike." with an image of the two in the background.
  • In the game, you have to fight Kahn to gain entry to Mardok's house. In the manga, Cray just hits him over the head with his club.
  • All of the omakes. In particular, Fou-Lu quoting Milkshakes in his Ye Olde English manner of speech.
