I've played FF IV probably 5 or 6 times before this, so I was struggling to find the motivation to play again. I was shocked by the amount of new content though, and the overall new presentation, enough to make it feel almost like a totally different game. from Amazon.com I'm a new player when it comes to the Final Fantasy games, I've only played two other of the more recent ones. When I heard this game was a remake of one of the old origonals, I had to check it out. from Amazon.com I was very pleasantly surprised. The main problem with FF 1-3 (apart from the unimaginative stories) was that once you figured out who was weak to what, the game became a grindfest until you could easily defeat higher enemies. This of course breaks flow, is boring, and is not good for any game (save MMOs, apparently). The Active Time Battle system (along with some considerably smarter enemies) overcomes this, where every random encounter feels like a fight for your life. from Amazon.com This game is great but some times bad. I bought this because i thought it looked good and i am a big fan of the final fantasy games. what is good about this game is the graphics. from Amazon.com I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy games. I've played them growing up, since the original Final Fantasy for the NES, and all their remakes along the way. from Amazon.com very good), many of the additions and character interpretations are downright stupid. Most of the male characters, including all the important ones, have become androgynous creeps and whiny punks. The addition of the constantly-name-changing rabbit character is a type of element more common to newer Final Fantasy games and horribly out of place. If you prefer the atmosphere of the older games to the newer Final Fantasies, avoid this one, since it essentially transforms it into a modern FF game (i.e. from Amazon.com If you loved the original Final Fantasy 4 (originally 2 in the US) and are considering buying this remake, I can assure you, it is definitely worth it. I'm a long time fan of the series and have been playing this game for many years since it's release on the Super Nintendo back in the early 90s. from Amazon.com While this game has been nicely updated graphics wise for the DS, the thrill of actually using the stylus is removed and the overly challenging game that was the frame still remains. While I played the game through to the final level, I found myself overly frustrated with the final enemies and consumed with rage as I found myself fruitlessly battling the enemy bosses over and over and over and over again. from Amazon.com Wow! This game exceeded all my expectations. I was a fan of the original Final Fantasy 2 for the Super Nintendo, and I bought this game to revisit one of my childhood favorites. Typically I am leery of remakes, often they are either just re-releases with little addition value or deviate too much for this original. from Amazon.com Due to the success of the Final Fantasy III DS release, Square Enix thought it could make some quick cash on Final Fantasy IV: DS version. Okay, they were right. from Amazon.com
