Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster Review – An Epic Tale Of Pixelated Portrayals

Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.

If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.

This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.

I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!

Yeah, I am similar. 4 and 6 are my favorites, with 7 and 10 next. Everything since 10 has gone downhill (not counting MMOs). I don't hold much hope for FFXVI, though it is very pretty.

CrimsonWing69858d ago

Yea i'm with ya, there. Don't get me wrong, I think 7 Remake really restored my faith in Square Enix, but I miss the good ol' turn-based stuff.

RavenWolfx858d ago

@CrimsonWing69 Ah, FF7 Remake completely slipped my mind! I enjoyed that one, though I haven't touched Intergrade yet.

The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.
