Is there a reason for so many of those?

To pre is for a release of any sort (such as NDS games) to be considered legit and official by the "scene."
Don't know how else to describe it really.

Fucking Rapidshare is capping at 10KB/s.

60kb/s actually, still shitty speeds though

If this release hasn't been pre'd yet then it ain't gonna be on any rls sites. So wait biatches.

Works great on G6DS Real v3.9x

Epic intro ^^

EDIT: It's also a bit more humorous than I remember.

I really don't know how these things work, but I'm glad this game is out ^^

PRE - how it works

When a group has a release it sends a PRE notice to the scene via IRC PRE channels. The PRE stands for PREview/PRErelease. The group then uploads the release to their affiliated Top Sites (secret and very fast FTP servers) where couriers then transfer it between other Top Sites or lower level sites. From these sites the release filters down to IRC, Usenet, http and P2P.

If I had to go with anything, I'd say
prereleased
would be a safe bet, which is why often titles are known (recorded and announced) before anyone in any thread (or channel) has stopped begging for them - which is also why I see much humor in the statement:
QUOTEIt has yet to be pre'd, though.

It's always the same with FF, I love the artwork and the whole faerielike world they create. I play it for 3 or 4 hours and I just get incredibly bored with all the text. Also I rarely encounter something that I find is very unique and surprising. So I'm really curious about what drives people to keep playing it. Is the story so intrigueing that you just want to know how it ends? Do you read all the dialogue? Are the puzzles/quests so cool you want to see what's around the corner?

Anyway, yesterday after a long time I continued my quest in Zelda: Twilight Princess and immediately I knew what that game has and what Final Fantasy hasn't. The fact that once you play you can hardly put it down because it's so compelling.

Am I so wrong here?

Some people just prefer different things, that is all. If the amount of text is what bothers you, do you even like to read books? There's also the turned-based battles, which of course, aren't something you would see in an action game. Those questions you asked could be used with any game with just some minor adjustments to some. It's just a matter of preference or no preference at all(which I'm glad I don't any preference).

Off course you're right. I just think it's annoying that I'm trying to like these Final Fantasy games, I try really hard, I play it for hours upon hours, only to find that I hate these games. I try to understand the concept and what people think is so wonderful about Final Fantasy.

But it's the same with Pokemon, you gotta catch em all? whadda ya mean you GOT to catch em all? I'm not going to catch anything. I hate every last bit of the Pokemon franchise, in fact even the Pokemon in Super Smash Brothers Brawl sucked....

So to end this little debate, I'm not a Final Fantasy gameplayer and never will be. However I think the artwork and music is great.

Hate being a broken record, but can someone else please confirm that the (J) save does not work with this release? I can't get (J) saves to work on CycloDS Evo or R4.

Save info from the other thread:

I'm uploading a save file (512KB R4, Cyclo format) in the hopes that someone can look into the differences between the (J) and the (U) created saves.

Funny thing is, I can load up a new game from a (J) save, and it works fine, but I can not load an existing (J) save slot.

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2919

Slot 1: (J) created, new game+ (black screens)
Slot 2: (J) created, first game (black screens)
Slot 3: (U) created, earliest save point (works fine)

Hopefully someone much more clever than I can figure out the difference between the slots and create a fix. Otherwise, puppies and orphans will get it.

[ackers]

I just downloaded this ROM and when I unzipped it it gave me a file corrupt error and there was nothing in the folder.... hmmm.

 

[ThisisnotDanny]

Holy shit that was one of the fastest going torrents I've ever downloaded. Well I suppose it's cause it's the first time I ever downloaded a torrent the day it was uploaded.

 

[SonicRax]

This game rules. I'm so happy I've finally played FF4 properly for the FIRST TIME. xD

 

[Killermech]

Perfect timing, I just finished FFTA2 and this pops up
