RPG Site just got their hands on seventeen new screenshots for Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, the PSP title that combines Final Fantasy IV and the previously downloadable Epilogue The After Years into one title with revisited graphics and music but the same old FF4 gameplay.
The screenshots are a mixture of scenarios and battles from both the original Final Fantasy IV and The After Years, showing players in control of both Cecil in FF4 and his son Ceodore in each of the games. The game's due to arrive in Japan on March 24th, and it's fairly likely that it will end up coming West.
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.
I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!
Yeah, I am similar. 4 and 6 are my favorites, with 7 and 10 next. Everything since 10 has gone downhill (not counting MMOs). I don't hold much hope for FFXVI, though it is very pretty.
Yea i'm with ya, there. Don't get me wrong, I think 7 Remake really restored my faith in Square Enix, but I miss the good ol' turn-based stuff.
@CrimsonWing69 Ah, FF7 Remake completely slipped my mind! I enjoyed that one, though I haven't touched Intergrade yet.
The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.
I can't get over how weird those updated sprites look. =/
This is certainly a weird decision. They made a fully 3D, voice acted FFIV for a less powerful system, but this is only a sprite update? Odd.
Still, I love the After Years, so I'm probably going to lap this up anyway. Hah.
cmon SE! get a clue already and release this on xbla/psn.
ill get this but, when is FF6 gonna have this treatment?
Seriously, why can't they just port the assets from the DS version? Seems like SE are getting lazier and lazier...
