why does cid have nigger lips?Just based on my experiences with FF3DS, I'd say it's pretty likely that all of that will be addressed.
I probably won't play it because I thought FFIV's battle system was HORRENDOUS. If they can actually fix all the broken elements like stupid useless character skills (HIDE? NO THANK U! GUARD DOESNT ACTUALLY RAISE MY DEFENSE ANY? PRAY DOESNT LEVEL UP WITH THE PARTY???) I might actually play it.
well FF3 DS was terrible, but I am well aware that's due to FF3 being a terrible gameYou gotta be kidding. I've only just started in FF3 DS, but FF3 for NES was one of the best games of its time.
I'm disappointed.
What was hyped, accidental or not, was that 75% was cut from the original story. But nothing new in terms of story has been added to the game.
There are no new playable characters, in fact, you can only use the final five at the end. Those who would like to use more than this will have to wait for hackers to create codes.
The decant abilities are nice but I don't think they begin to make up for only being able to use the same party as the SNES version which is about 13 years old. This is a far cry compared to what could have been done with the game.
The movie features a new battle, Golbez + 4 Emperors vs Cecil and his party. This battle does not happen in the game. Thanks, Square, for tantalizing us with stuff you aren't going to use!
There's a new feature, a stupid looking white doll (Poochika, official English translation unknown) that offers minigames and can be used in the auto battle. I think most of us would prefer a character that doesn't look like one from our little sister's closet?
Those who have never played the game before may want to give this a shot. It's still better than the new stuff Square-Enix has been churning out for the past 10 years. Those who are big fans of the game like I am will be very disappointed, as this is hardly a re-done version of FF4, so much as it is a watered down FF4 Advance with polygons instead of sprites.
Man, why the fuck do GOOD things like this come out on DS, its like they forgot that there is the PSP too. Fucking square.
I want ALL of it. Seriously, this looks MORE FUN then crisis core, and tactics is boring as.I am beginning to dislike you :fogetsmile:

How many times are SE going to release the same frickin' game? They should just make some new games. Although I've heard Children of Mana is terrible and that Heroes of Mana isn't anything great... The DS needs more RPGs that are actually good.
Try Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker? It's my favorite DS game and while it's extremely by-the-numbers, it's definitely not a straight-up remake or port and is really good.It's the game I'm currently playing while I'm taking the train to college. It's pretty good so far, and rather difficult too. It's nothing great but it's far from bad.

i'm waiting for FF6 DS to be released, IT IS AN AWESOME GAME.
its accually goin to psp :(
Oh god another FF6 remake too?
$quare is really outdoing themselves!
OMFG THERE WAS ALREADY A FFVI REMAKE OMG OMG OMG.
Sorry but that was a port. A crappy port.
I don't think this bump is too bad.
Lol, does that really make a difference?
They're still recycling the same stuff over and over and over and over.
I really liked the first batch of remakes (yes, I consider them remakes cause they had content not in the original game, sue me), but it's extremely obvious now that Square is milking the cash cow with minimal effort. Sure there are new graphics and maybe a neat new dungeon or two, but that doesn't change the fact that it uses essentially the same script and gameplay.
I just hope they don't remake V or VI like they did III and IV. III and IV just seems as if they didn't have enough effort put into them. III and IV will always remain 2D games, unless it is fullout remade, FF12 looking... then maybe. But I don't want a remake of V or VI. Maybe an upgrade like 1 and 2 but not like 3 and 4. They deserve better than that.

How can you possibly justify making this argument when you're using a SMT avatar? How?
Not to mention it has pretty minimalistic gameplay. If it had a funner combat system or some interesting features I'd give it another chance, but if it's the same crappy ATB attack->attack->attack system I'll have to pass.
I dunno how I feel about this remake. FF3 was amazing, yes, but the graphics and story could theoretically have used the 3D boost. However, FF4 was fine. That was the start of the well-storied FFs... Why are they re-writing a classic? I don't see the point. It's like if they tried to remake FF7. They'd cut out the world map, all the minigames and deck it out to be badass like the movie. I digress... Why is FFIV in 3D damnit!? Oh wait, money.
final fantasy IV was a really awful game. granted it was supposedly a GAMING FIRST in many ways but jesus it was horrible. i'm really not interested in trying this at all!
man... it's a shame premium members don't have their own forum to share files....... poor Chainer's gonna have to look all over the internet
If I buy a DS, this would definitely be the reason. I loved FF4. The remake looks fantastic.

Also, I noticed that Cecil's voice sounds like .hack//GU's Haseo O.O
If I made a req topic about a Final Fantasy game on the same page as the req topic I made on Preacher... I would never be able to face the zoo again.i think he means someone already uploaded it and posted a topic dawg
oh man.....if there is a Chrono Trigger remake on the DS i'm going to fart with joy.
maybe thats why sqenix gave all those cease and decease letters to people making remakes of CT, because they themselves will be doing one! FFIII, FFIV, CT.
ok most of my post is false hope but IT WOULD BE SO COOOL
I bought this yesterday and I like it a lot! The difficulty is definitely super fine-tuned and is constantly engaging. I think the graphics are great and super charming but yeah I can see how some people wouldn't get past the low-res textures and everything. I definitely agree that the menues are a little laggy, but I think I can survive with it.
Holy shit, did you guys pass that Queen Bomb boss?
It was NOT that hard on the SNES. This is crazy.
I am pleased they gave some of the characters more usefulness this time around, like Edward, he's not fucking useless anymore, he's just crappy now!Are you serious
Holy shit, did you guys pass that Queen Bomb boss?I had to use a walkthrough to figure out that the Mom Bomb had 141200 health. Damn, if I never realised that I would have been battling that thing for ages.
It was NOT that hard on the SNES. This is crazy.
So how many had trouble against Scarmiglone, he took me at least 10-15 minutes to beat, damn that counter! Its like Bad Breath... but equally as deadly. X_X
He does that when you cast offensive spells against him. Since he's a zombie you should've cast cura on him and his bitch ass would be negatively healed and you wouldn't have gotten all those nasty status ailments.
Ugh the Mom Bomb is NOTHING compared to that damn Dark Elf.
How're you supposed to survive Dark Breath? BAM 800HP DAMAGE WOO
There's a faq in gamefaqs explaining how to survive that fight...Yeah, although it's kinda annoying to have to check the FAQ for pretty much every boss.
I must say the battle with cyber Lugae was simply awesome. You see, in this version he uses an attack which inverts all damage; now healing magic does damage, and all attacks and offensive spells heal (it affects both your party and Lugae). He casts Restore on your whole party dealing damage, but you can easily heal yourself with physical attacks (which often miss).
The best part was when I had Rydia down and he cast Reverse for the second time, making all magic work normally. I double casted Raise and party Curaga with Rose, but before she managed to finish them, Lugae threw another Reverse. The result wasn't pretty :) (I managed to win with 2 characters though)
This game has been a pleasant surprise: but some regular enemies are just stupid.
Case in point: 2x blazes should not kill an overleveled party before its possible to react.
Hint: You're probably not overleveled.
Some of the optional stuff is highly useful. Did you get the draw attacks and counter augments? If you put them both on Cecil, the whole party should have a nice time getting through the moon.
Augments are useful stuff.

Oddly enough: cecil has counter... It never works.

I am at the magnetic cave place. I miss my metal things.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Go to the well and use the magma stone on it.
It is pretty ridiculous, but oh well. A lot of Final women run around in bikinis or other skimpy outfits. Fran, anyone?
Isn't it funny that people will point out little details like that as if it's weird BUT MAGIC IS TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE.
I've been playing this in little 20 minute bursts the last few days, but holy fuck is Edward useless when you first get him. I don't remember him being this weak in the original!
Man, the fight against Bahamut in this version is probably the coolest thing that has ever happened to me in a remake of a game.If TENSE AS HELL is what you mean then I agree with you.
I beat Dr Lugae (cheaply, lol Elixir spam)I don't see why everyone had to use Elixirs against Lugae, maybe I was just lucky?
If TENSE AS HELL is what you mean then I agree with you.
So I'm on the final dungeon right now and I've gotten extremely disinterested in the game. I don't feel like going through floor upon floor of RANDOM ENCOUNTERS and that Namingway quest just seems long and tedious. Also I'm sick of having to use a walkthrough for every boss battle.
Mostly I have put up with the challenge to this point because there has been a certain amount of strategy behind it all but there isn't here. You just have to hope the Flamehounds don't all cast Scorch. Prior to this, I had only died once and that was against Golbez because I went into that fight with Cecil almost dead and I neglected to Slow Golbez while Rosa was still up.
The encounter rate is way too high in the final dungeon and the fights are really hard. :(Don't you have the Safe Travel augment?
