DESCRIPTION

Hailed by critics as one of the best titles in the Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy IV makes its DS debut as an updated version of the original Super Famicom game. Heroes and villains are now rendered in 3D, and the storyline is told through cinematic cut-scenes enhanced with voice acting. As you guide the dark knight Cecil on a quest for redemption in the mysterious Valley of Mist, you'll confront monsters through an "active time" battle system designed to heighten the group-oriented action. Several gameplay changes have been included as well, such as party member Rydia's ability to create a summoned monster to fight in her stead. This quirky creature, named Whyt, can be customized throughout the adventure by participating in mini-games and even wireless competitions against a friend. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Aside from FF:IX this game is one of the best final fantasy's ever created. Very hard, fun to play, will give you endless challenges til the end. One of the hardest FF's to date. Sick of Final Fantasy games that leave you let down? This is the...”

“How do you like the remake? I didn't think it was as good as the original, but it's pretty great. ”

“Considering the fact that I never got to play the original, I think it's pretty good. Golbez isn't terribly intimidating in chibi polygons, though.

“Hehe, the one thing you'd notice if you played the SNES version, is how much harder the remake is. ”

Spookty was the last to comment - 2 months ago...

“Harder, eh? I'll have to get my hands on that re-translation of the original sometime. Sounds like the kind of thing I'd stop playing out of frustration and go back and kick ass at a couple of months later.”

“I haven't tried the remake yet but from what I recall of the early Final Fantasy games was that there were periods where if you wanted to progress you really had to grind up some levels.

Remakes always frighten me a bit.. I'm still burned by the GBC remake of Crystalis; they changed all the music! Hopefully they kept the soundtrack in FFIV, I still love some of the tracks from that game :D”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 2 months ago...

“Yup, same soundtrack.”

“Good good :3 From the soaring cavern music to the creepy calbrena tune it had excellent sounds :3”
