I know it's been almost a week since it's been out, but has anyone got this? I think it's relatively fun and a nice way to tease poor saps into believing that future games would be re-made.

4 was always the most boring of the 2D Final Fantasies, and I hate everything about it.

darkvare · #3

turn based games are not my thing

I don't like the 3d remakes visually. Kain and Cecil for the win though.

This.

The game hasn't aged well compared to, say, FF6 or Chrono Trigger. Not to mention we just got a remake on GBA, which you can play on the same system as the new remake. Plus the extra "keep the whole party at the end of the game" thing from the GBA remake is absent from the DS remake and replaced with that stupid Augment system. Redundant much?

As of right now, the game is just floating on my desktop, waiting to slide into my little R4, but I'm far too busy with other games to be assed with it. Maybe if the story wasn't the archetype for all jRPG stories, I'd care a little more

I think you are forgetting 1, 2 and 3. 4 was the first good FF in my opinion. Those that came after it were better (especially 5) but hey, they are getting to it and by 2017, they can start working on that FF7-Remake that 80% of the fans want since 1999.

I guess the main problem with the 4 remake will be the same as always: too slow. Animations take too long, battle takes more than 10 seconds - boring - and BAM it sits on the shelf right next to FF3...THAT was a horrible game.

I loved ff4 as a kid :<

Dimnos · #8

I got the new FF4 and havnt been able to put it down. It and 6 are THE BEST FF games, 10 was pretty good too. I never played the other remake on the GBA but this one is great if you havent played some incarnation recently.

liquidstatik · #9

am I the only one that really liked 9?

Dimnos · #10

was 9 the one with the gunblade things?

pac-man · #11

8 had gunblades, 9 had the kid with the tail. Both were good.

liquidstatik · #12

yuh, it was my fav. :o

liquidstatik · #13

then again, it's the only one i've ever played through :o

Dimnos · #14

oh yea thats right Pac, 8 had the gunblades. I tried to get into that one but just couldnt, it was just way to slow or something I dont really remember. 9 with the kid who had the tail I only played for about 10 min before i got bored and went back to playing star ocean

Fathom Zero · #15

Boring.

10,000 Volt Ghost · #16

6 and 9 is one are the best ones. The only terrible thing about 9 was the end boss.

Guitar Woman · #17

9 was pretty awful, too.

I like FF1 because it's such a primitive nerdfest, and FF6 and 7 because they've got really great soundtracks and stories. At least, 6 does, 7's more of a nostalgia thing for me.

I haven't played 8 too much, but I admit that I really enjoyed the demo!

Dimnos · #18

7 sucked

Guitar Woman · #19

The general additude of most people is "I hate Final Fantasy 7 because everyone but NERDS do and I don't want to seem like some anime fanboy faggot, oh lordy that would be terrible"

I, for one, like FF7, so fuck your shit.

executioneer · #20

it was definitely better than 8 :s

pac-man · #21

7 is my personal favorite, but nostalgia plays a big part in that as attempts to go back and play it have usually ended around the time I exit Midgar. 8 was emo before emo was "cool." 9 was slow. All had their charms, though. As for the remake of 4, once was enough for that game to me. They need to start thinking about reviving the Chrono series.

10,000 Volt Ghost · #22

I want to play the FF4 The After: Return of the Moon. So far it's only out in JA though. Be waiting a while for it

Phoenix Gamma · #23

FFXII was the best, but FF fans hate it. Then again I'm lukewarm to the franchise anyways.

7 was a big hit due to the PS one being huge at the time, vastly improved graphics for its time and storyline and it was the first "major" RPG to come out. More then likely it will be remade on the PS3. As for Chrono Trigger the only press release on that series i have seen is the remake of that game that will be coming out on the DS. Also the original Star Ocean (the on that was from Super Famicon) will be coming out on the PSP in Oct. as well as Second Story in Apr.

Nintendo is also releasing Dragon Warrior 4 on the DS this year too. I wouldnt dout that all the old NES and SNES will be remade onto the DS to get all the older gamers to pick them up. Im still waiting for a decent Earthbound sequal or remake

or playstation to remake Shining Force 2 on the PsP (Slade was the best imo Rat Ninja ftw)
