Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light is pretty fucking charming. Pretty as hell, and nice music to boot. The combat is kinda weird...like Chrono Cross meets Riviera. The game's so old school, but to the point where it knows it.

"OH HEY SO YOU'RE THIS GUY. TODAY'S THE DAY YOU SEE THE KING! GO SEE HIM! THERE HE IS. PRETTY COOL. WELL THE PRINCESS IS KIDNAPPED. HERE'S A SWORD. GO NUTS. 'TUTORIAL'? WHAT'S THAT? ANYWAYS YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH GO ANYWHERE JUST DON'T DIE. HERE HAVE MORE PARTY MEMBERS. WHO ARE THEY? HOW ARE THE RELATED? BEATS ME LET'S GO THAT PRINCESS CAN'T SAVE HERSELF. OH THERE SHE IS. ANYWAYS SHE CAN FIGHT NOW WOAH A BOSS AW NEAT OKAY SO NOW YOU'RE ALL SPLIT UP NOW GO GO GO".

Doesn't waste my time with bullshit. I dig that.

I kinda prefer Etrian Odyssey III cause it's just deeper and more rewarding for each little bit of progress you fight for. But this is better for portable play I think.
