Hello,
Wanted to inquire about the following release dates and see what the sources are for them, for the purposes of an overview piece I'm writing on BoFIV's history:
Europe (PS1): Aug 3, 2001 Release Europe (Windows): Mar 31, 2003 Release Taiwan (Windows): Jun 6, 2003 Release China (Windows): Jul 15, 2003 Release

For PS1 (Europe): wasn't supplied originally but checks out:
https://www.gamespress.com/Breath-Of-Fire-IV (semi-closed source)
https://ogdb.eu/index.php?section=game&gameid=19908
For Windows (Taiwan and China):
https://www.acgwolf.com/viewthread.php?tid=36175&extra=&page=1
That leaves the Windows (Europe) date which was supposedly from German review site GameStar, which was edited in the meanwhile... https://www.gamestar.de/spiele/breath-of-fire-4,9762.html

Thanks for that tip! I found it in this list:
Also, the Dec 4 2000 date for NA PS1 release of BoFIV does not appear to be correct. Should be Nov 29 2000 based on this CUSA press release:
