The gameplay of Breath of Fire includes four basic aspects: the world map, the locations on it (cities, dungeons, etc.), the battle mode, and the game menu. The game world is a fictional planet, on the surface of which the player moves through the world map.

In this regard, some areas of the world map are revealed to the player after joining the corresponding character; a party, for example, cannot pass through a forest unless Bo is at the head of the group.
