I love it, except for the linearity of it. It has great pacing, but towards the last half or third, you start to realize you don't have a choice where to go... and there's nothing to explore that wasn't there for you to go to. It's like everything was optimized just enough for the story, and after that, nothing.

The PSP port was good (and the best if you ask me)
The PSP versions have that ugly RPG-maker-esque feel to the graphics and gameplay for me... and such ugly fonts D: I could never get into their style, I guess :/

In all fairness FFIV is a really good Final Fantasy game.
No one's denying that, we're pointing out Square Enix's stupidity for releasing the five-thousandth port of this game that's been released on every portable device. The graphics are the same, the story is the same, the music is the same, maybe a slight graphical overhaul now and then; they can only release it so many times, now it's become anathema to us all.

Remakes? More like iOS ports of the Advance games or worse PS1 Anthology ports. A great way to celebrate FFV's 20th Anniversary I'm sure.
Actually the DS version is a full-on remake, and quite well done.

Hardly any of you guys are excited about that tease at FFV :(
After enough times of getting blue-balled, you learn to not get excited in the first place.

Call me when the game's actually out.

EDIT
Fixed that for ya, Final Fantasy V should be released for the 3DS instead of having IV remade

You want a remake of a DS game that was just a remake of an older game on the 3DS?

Or you wouldn't be so mad over it being constantly remade/ported if it was a 3DS port/remake?

God no wonder they keep porting/remaking it.

Meant to say they should remake a game that HASN'T been remade. I said Final Fantasy V not IV.

To remove some confusion I will explain some stuff about this game.
Final Fantasy IV was released for the Snes and was known as Final Fantasy II in the US.
It was later released for the playstation 1. (This was no remake it was a port or emulated version of a re-translated "FFIV-ROM" in a nice software package with some special features.)
The GBA version was not really a remake, It was more like a port of the original much like how Super Mario World were ported.
It had original remakes for WonderSwan Color, PSP and NDS.
The iOS version is a port of the NDS remake with a new UI for touch controls. (Dont expect anything new if you have the NDS version)

I love this game and I think that the GBA & PSP versions are the best ones out there.
Personally I think we had enough remakes and re-releases of this game.

We had more than enough Final Fantasy 1-4 remake.
I understand that Square Enix do not want to do a remake of FF7 now, but what about FF5 and 6.

3DS and Vita are more than enough strong to handle these remakes,
and I think everybody already got tired of these games.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
