BM: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years review

Graphically, this game looks like an improvement over the original Final Fantasy IV, which was made very early in the SNES lifespan and therefore did not take full advantage of the console like later Square titles. The sprites are larger, and the colors are brighter - these are both things you will notice during flashbacks, though the change is apparent enough that you will see it upon starting the game. It's still a 16-bit title though, so if you're not down with paying for classic design, you should know that in advance.

Top 10: Worst Final Fantasy Games

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.

DedicatedDark2558d ago

Wait on further thought, the inclusion FFVIII would be nice. Terrible writing, terrible story, terrible gameplay and terrible translation. And therefore a terrible game.

Any Final Fantasy made my SquareEnix. Quick and easy.

SinkingSage2558d ago (Edited 2558d ago )

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...

Lightning avatar and mad about Lightning Returns being on the list!? https://www.youtube.com/wat...

SinkingSage2556d ago

Heh, yeah, how is LR on the list but not XIII? XIII is pretty bad.

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

DarXter2689d ago

The lack of any actual content is more disappointing imo.

Vkviz2690d ago

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.

TC7312690d ago

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

jukins2690d ago

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.

Superior to what? I'm confused

Vhampir2699d ago

If you mod FF7 to remove the mouths.

This is just price matching the steam sale. I'm going to wait for the anniversary collection, with the uncensored versions.

FinalFantasyFanatic2698d ago

Make that anniversary collection happen Square-Enix.

Derceto2699d ago

Nice. Another 50% and they would be appropriately priced.

Princess_Pilfer2699d ago

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.

-Foxtrot2699d ago

Rather wait for that collection that was rumoured to be announced next month
