Nintendo Power's May issue includes the release date of Final Fantasy IV: According to the magazine the game is scheduled for release in North America sometime in July. No specific date has been given as of yet.
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 am both interested and potentially terrified in how this will turn out.
Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorite games of all time, no question. Though I doubt I'd get a DS just for it, I don't want them to destroy the game, either.
Dear Square:
Please don't rape my chilhood memories.
Love,
A long-loyal RPGer
FF IV is my favorite of the series so I am stoked about this game finally getting to the States. Have no fear Silellak Square Enix does wonders with the DS they have a great amount of games and time spent on the DS they know how to make a great one on it. It's the FFIV game we all know with the FFIII engine all refined and goodies. Plus I hear they are adding extras from the original that was cut out when first made, so it's even longer than before along with full voice work!
i'm uber hyped for this since i've never played IV before. from what i've read and seen it looks amazing. i will definitely be hogging my daughters DS when this is out.
Never played this game. BUT! I have played 1 and 2 on psp and 3 on ds. And I can't wait to play this on the DS aswell. I just hope it's as good as it original even if I don't have played the original.
I will import from america when it releases since I live in europa and the game probably won't be released in europe before september. -.-
First day purchase for me. With new scenarios, actual voice acting(doesn't happen too often for DS games), and a Vocal version of "Song of Love", you cannot go wrong with this game.
