Product Description
Final Fantasy IV for DS is a must-play for those looking to jump into the best-selling RPG franchise in the world. Four elemental Crystals, each possessing awesome power, lie scattered throughout the realm. However, men are quick to covet things that offer strength, and easily corrupted by the might that they possess. Seduced by the promised power of the Crystals, the kingdom of Baron begins employing unprovoked force to seize them from peaceful nations. The dark knight Cecil - Lord Captain of Baron's elite force, the Red Wings - is ordered by his king to obtain the Crystals, but soon begins to question the monarch's motives. Stricken with grief at his own actions, yet burdened by his loyalty to his country and his personal sense of honor, Cecil at last decides to turn from the path of darkness and destruction. Enraged, the king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist. Cecil embarks on a fateful journey that will bring trials, betrayals, friendship, loss, and self-discovery.

    Summary: A Splendid Fantasy
    Comment: In 1992, when Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II US) was released in the states, it was a big part of my world. The game was so much fun! I found out it was being reworked around a year before its release in the states for a 4th time and was pretty amazed with the games potential. This remake is more life-like; Even if it is a little too cute, it means well. The musical score in this game is more enhanced while not changing the "classic" music itself. The gameplay is indeed much more difficult, but treats you to a more elaborate fighting/ability system. The story has also been beefed up to tell a more complete and satisfying tale. The replay value is quite nice too. It gives you a chance to take more advantage of the gameplay multiple times around. If you loved the original Final Fantasy IV, then you will also love the new Final Fantasy IV for DS-and if you're a new comer to the game or the series for that matter, this is sure to be a treat also. I give it a 9/10.

    Summary: Stellar remake.
    Comment: I can only hope they decide to remake all of the older final fantasies in this fashion.

    My only issue is gameplay itself. Sometimes I found the game to be a bit too difficult and had to grind for hours to level my characters for the next major battle.

    Summary: Good remake
    Comment: This game has everything a fan of Final fantasy could want; good characters, good storyline, and the same spells that we are used to. Even if this is your first rpg, it is very user friendly. The biggest bonus (in my opinion) is the mini-map system for dungeons. Youll never get lost again thanks to this feature.
    All in all a great game.

    Summary: Awesome
    Comment: I grew up with the game on the 16 bit systems so I may be a little biased. But this new adaptation of the game is just awesome, it keeps all the fun of the original plus adds voice acting and great graphics for the DS. I recommended this game to all fans of old school RPG's

    Summary: Final Fantasy IV DS: A remake that cannot be missed!
    Comment: Seeing that Final Fantasy IV (known as Final Fantasy II for the Super NES) was released around 15 years ago, there are a whole generation of youngsters and teens that never got a chance to experience this game.

    And, for some of us, Final Fantasy II was one of the best RPG's we ever played.

    So why remake a game that is over 15 years old, especially when so many other good FF games (including FFIII(VI), FFVII, FFIX and FFX) have come out?

    First of all, FFIV introduced the Active Time Battle system into Final Fantasy games. This has been the standard (for the most part) ever since. Second, the story in FFIV is outstanding, and even surpasses other FF titles that have come out on next gen systems. Third, the game has been given all new voice acting, been retranslated, and made much harder than previous releases of FFII (the US got the "easy" version).

    Graphically, this game pushes the limit of the DS. Both the CGI's and the Summon animations are outstanding. Backgrounds have been enhanced and look nothing like the blocky SNES ones.

    As for sound, FFII had a great score (again, some would consider it the best of the FF games), and while some found the voice acting terrible, I had absolutely no problem with it and it added to the experience.

    For the DS, a new Augment system was added, and pretty much is mandatory to learn and use if you want to beat the two new optional bosses in the game. It definitely adds a new level to strategy (and, you have to play through THREE times to get all the augments and special bosses!). The replay value was significantly increased by these actions.

    However, the one thing that may hold FFIV DS back in terms of being perfect is the difficultly level. This is not an easy game. Whether you are a FFIV newbie, or played previous versions, you are in for a shock. Message boards have filled up with people dying in places that would have been considered ridiculously early in previous versions of FFIV. Be forewarned: Level grinding is definitely required in this version. And, I would not have this be the first RPG for someone, let alone they get frustrated and chuck their DS!

    Overall, this game is an awesome walk down memory lane for some, and introduces others to just how great RPG's have been in the past.

    Definitely pick this product up. For sure one of the top 3 RPG's on the DS, and miles above FFIII DS!
