From the review, "Back in 1991, Final Fantasy II/Final Fantasy IV was released for the SNES. So, it is only fitting that 18 years later Final Fantasy IV: The After Years be released as a WiiWare game. For those who remember playing the original game back on their SNES systems, it resurrects fond memories of those days and experiences.
At the same time, it's also a wonderful game for new fans who discovered Final Fantasy IV through the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance or DS remakes of the game. The only thing is, the first portion is only a sampling. The initial 800 point purchase includes Ceodore, Cecil and Kain's stories, known as 'Return of the Moon,' 'The Last of the Red Wings' and 'Return of the Dragoon...'"
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The Final Fantasy series is one of gaming’s most revered franchises with many of its games finding themselves near the top of ‘best games of all time’ lists and simply uttering the words ‘Final Fantasy’ usually evokes images of epic quests and world class polish. But not all of the games to bear the name have been worthy of praise. Some, in fact are terrible, unplayable, ugly and obnoxious games that make you wonder how Square Enix ever approved them. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and counting down the Top 10 Worst Final Fantasy Games."
Addition of FFXIII Lightning Returns and Crystal Bearers make your list redundant.
Though I appreciate the lack of FFX-2.
And I agree with the rest.
Since when is After Years or Lightning Returns bad?
This article is garbage, the absolute worst FF, Final Fantasy XIII is nowhere to be seen.
Also, why include a game that doesn't even exist anymore? FFXIV 1.0 is long gone...
The Final Fantasy world has some of the most creative, scariest, and weirdest locations
The lack of Ultimecia's Castle is disappointing. That area with its atmosphere, branching paths and secrets along with secret bosses, and not to mention locking out nearly all of your abilities (even saving) makes it one of FF's most intimidating areas....imo of course =p
Ultimecia's castle definitely seems like a glaring omission. I thought that waking up in the Shinra tower to find that Sephiroth had gone on a bloody murder spree was pretty damn creepy the first time I played that section as a kid.
Ultimecia's castle and underwater in FF7.
I mean it's not like you can hit the "submerge" button and accidentally land on Emerald Weapon or anything. lol
I'll always remember in ffxi when "sky" was the end game that was one of the most intense places to navigate a entire alliance through.
Amazon has discounted 50 percent off the PC versions of Final Fantasy III, IV, IV: The After Years, VII, VIII, XIII, XIV: A Realm Reborn and XIV: Heavensward.
Or, you know, I could just put the disk in my PC. Or just rip the files off the disks and play them from the HDD. Except for 13 and 14 i guess, but 13 is a garbage fire and 14 has a subscription fee so saving a few bucks on the purchase price doesn't really do anything.
I love it.It's a game that hits that game spot that games just don't alwasy do anymore.I'd drop 50 dollors for it because they don't make rpg like ff the after anymore.IMO SE focas on the way there games look now and less on the epic story that they use to.Don't get me wrong i love any rpg SE makes but nothing is better then a good epic rpg story.Take a look at golden sun.
