At RPGamer's recent visit to Square Enix, they were able to get their hands on Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS. As a huge fan of the original game, it was wonderful to see the game and to hear the English voice acting. There is not much else RPGamer can say about the English version at this time, but, thankfully, they were able to import a copy of the Japanese version.
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.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
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.
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.
@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.
Day one purchase for me!
or possibly the best of the series, I still remember the most important plots (not mention them, they are important spoilers) and they are not a few, but this is a solid title, I had the pleasure of playing the jap version, and the voices add something special to that special place, now let's see if the english version can match the voice act of the jap version.
Is another jewel for the DS and is a must buy.
Great game for its time and now this remake should allow more graphic fiends to enjoy one of the better entries in the greatest RPG series of all time!
but this would be FF2 as far as N America is concerned, Right?
hopefully they havent made that elf in the magnetic cave any harder!!! 9999 damage all round
