Considering getting it. Bravely Default was a lot of fun and maybe this will feel similar with its kawaii 3D.

Cool. FFIV is railroaded and dramatic as hell but it's good fun. But I see that like the PC release of III this still has the HUGE BUTTONS FOR SAUSAGE FINGERS from the Android version. Hope the rest of the port job was well done.

 

[Diablo169]

On the plus side YOU SPOONY BARD, on the minus side what the fuck did they do to the graphics O_o

 

[shiteatingnippledick]

Fuck these remakes, they look absolute dogshit. NOT MAH 2D SPRITES.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Oh, settle down you people. The classic 2D version gets a new release every couple years.

It's dog shit. Even FF2 was more interesting.

 

[CyberP]

Popamole from 1991. FFV or VI is where it's at on the SNES.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

1. That's just, like, your opinion, man.

( your opinion is, of course, worthless. But it's yours and that makes it special )

2. What popamole? There are no third-person cover shooter sections in FF IV.

 

[CyberP]

Popamole's definition has expanded: anything that is mindless shit and a cop-out is popamole, and that's what FFIV is. They intentionally dumbed down the gameplay, and the world design is shit.
Sure the story is still somewhat worthwhile yet it's still one of the weaker ones in the series.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Oh, settle down you people. The classic 2D version gets a new release every couple years.

Yeah but it wouldn't be getting those releases if we all stopped bitching. 2D 4EVER

 

[Surf Solar]

FFIV and VI where my favorite Final Fantasies and I'd love to have them on steam.

However, 14.99€? For this abomination in 3d that looks so much worse than the original? Wtf were they thinking? Nothing is sacred

 

[CyberP]

1. That's just, like, your opinion, man..

Maybe. It's not opinion that the gameplay is stripped of nearly all worth though. Same fucking story with Chrono Trigger.
Why not play the FF's that offer both gameplay and story? Never mind, storyfag thread, and I'm not one to troll so I'll leave you to your devices.

Uh-huh. I like job systems as much as the next guy, but the story in Final Fantasy V was mediocre at best. Yeah, FFIV isn't exactly a masterpiece writing-wise, but it's definitely more entertaining imo.

Eh, forgetting everything else and just comparing the stories of the two, I don't see why FFIV's story is more relevant or entertaining than V's.

I don't see the difference, they all have shitty gameplay. Chrono Trigger is the best by far because of the fun story, cool C&C and better art.

Actually, Chrono Trigger's seamless battle transitions/visible enemies make battles much more bearable than the usual jRPG model of random battles popping out of nowhere with every few steps.

 

[Scroo]

Nice! Probably going to buy it. But there's also that wizardry like blobber that gets released today, also WL2, that platformer called The Waste Land and ahhhh so many games so little time (and it's getting a bit expensive ^^)

The difference is Chrono Trigger's battles are mindless and not fun.

 

[CyberP]

Same for FFIV.

 

[iZerw]

Fuck ATB!

 

[Avellion]

Final Fantasy IV manages to be entertaining despite its simple combat, character building and story.

It knows its simplicity and embraces it, and just focuses on being an entertaining fantasy romp throughout. Focusing on the adventure rather than the details.

[Somberlain]

I was planning on playing this game but there seem to be tons of different remakes and re-releases. What's the best and worst version of FF4 and why?

 

[abnaxus]

SNES version because it doesn't look utter shit.
