With a fully redone and newly translated narrative from the original Japanese version along with slight graphic,audio,and gameplay tweaks, FFIV vividly brings to life the classic setting
of the RPG series that the ninth installment revitalized last fall. Playing as Cecil, the leader of the Dark Knights, you doubt
the mentions of your King and are branded a traitor. Along with a large cast of colorful characters,your next move is to stop the evil plans of Golbez as he gains control of the 4 elemental crystals. In it 1991 SNES realease, this game was noted for its ground-breaking story, which created 3-D charaters with complex, human emotions and intense moral dilemmas that wore seamlessly into the plot. Also, the Active Time Battles (ATB) system appeared to add more urgency to the turn-based battles, and it remains at the heart of the best FF games to date.These features still stand out today, making FFIV one of the most gripping RPG's to date.

Pretty good, but not as good as you think

When I saw that Final Fantasy IV was two-player, I immediately bought it because I have two brothers who want to play together with me. The game is fun but two-player mode is not fun, gets confusing sometimes, and player two does practically nothing. Besides tow-player mode, Final Fantasy IV is a good game. Chrono Trigger, as many know, is a good game as well but is not two-player.

Two of the best Nintendo games on Playstation

I loved this collection, because I loved both of these games. These were two of my favorite RPGs that I had for the super Nintedo. The port to the playstation was done really well, I only have to complains:
-The menu load time for Chrono Trigger is slightly slower than I would like. This is barely noticable, but when you have to access then menu a lot, you pick up on it.
-Saving a game for Final Fantasy IV is VERY slow, and it gets annoying. However the PS version lets you quick save the game, which saves it to the Playstation's memory very fast, and then you just write it once to the memory card before you shut the power off.
But, neither of these two issues detracts from the games, and I would highly recomend this to people who used to have these on super Nintendo. However, I would not recomend this to people who never played the games on SNES, unless they are a big Final Fantasy fan. The games use the original graphics, so it is not designed for people who are not fans of the series.

more SNES greatness

Following on the heels of Final Fantasy Anthology comes another collection of classic Squaresoft video games. Final Fantasy Chronicles features two games: Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger. When it was released on the SNES, Final Fantasy IV was known as Final Fantasy II (it was the 4th game over all, but only the second released in the United States). In America, FFIV was the first of the series to have distinguishable characters with personality as well as having a real storyline to follow. Chrono Trigger is arguably the best RPG ever, and is without question one of the best on the SNES. In my mind, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI are pretty much tied for my favorite RPG of all time. This is the first time either game has been available on the Playstation.

Final Fantasy IV:
This has long been a favorite of mine. It had a story that is still one of my favorites with characters that I feel are more memorable that most of the Playstation era Final Fantasies. This is the Final Fantasy that I grew up with. Spells are learned as you increase in levels, characters move in and out of your party as the story progresses. The game has one of the great villains in Golbez. Kain and Rydia are still two of my favorite characters. While the game is easy, it is has been made more difficult in this PSX port. You play as Cecil, a Dark Knight as he rebels against the King of Baron in a quest to save the Crystals of the world from Golbez. This has a large cast of characters who will fight with you (and against you) and is simply a fun game to play. Yes, the graphics are early SNES era, but this is an old game. It remains a fun game.

Chrono Trigger:
As I said above, I view this as one of the all time great games. The story, involving time travel and its effects, is one of the best and is fairly complex with each action changing the history of the world but then opening up new questions and conflict. Chrono Trigger featured 16 different endings (more than 10 for sure) depending on when you decide to beat the game. After completing the game once you can restart with "New Game +) and begin the game with all the experience levels and stats that you had when you completed the game. You also begin with most of the weapons and armor (the only things you lose are those weapons that are important to the story, like the Masamune). Chrono Trigger has a distinct and memorable cast of characters and this is a game begging to be played. As with all of the PSX ports, the game is more enjoyable if played on the original system so that you don't have to deal with loading times, but the game is also much more expensive to buy for the SNES. This is definitely worth your money.

A Classic RPG

The reason I write this review is to be a part of history. When this game first came out, I was in the military far away from home. I did not read about, or see any commercial. I was a rpg gamer. This game not only give you hours of playtime, but the story and music will move you. I lost many nights of sleep playing this game. I was overjoyed when Final Fantasy Chronicles came with Chrono Trigger. I love the FF series, but I bought this game just for that. Is it the best game ever? My theory is that if you do not trade the game in for another, then that is a classic game. When I get my PS3. Chrono Trigger will be one of the first games I play on the system. If you want kids to get a basis for RPGs, then this is the perfect game to start.

Final Fantasy IV and Chronocross were great games back in the day. This import from the SNES to the Playstation is just as it was fifteen years ago. The game is still fun and intriguing.

Final Fantasy + Chrono Trigger = Best games ever

These 2 games are 2 of the best Role Playing Games that have ever been made. Chrono Trigger is easily one of the best games that the Super Nintendo ever had. Final Fantasy IV is also a title that should be highly regarded. Quit reading this review and go play!

Finally I can play final fantasy II

I loved Final Fantasy II when I was younger and used to play it non-stop even though I wasn't very good. I know it's technically final fantasy IV but it will always be FFII to me. I'm still a little ticked about the money I wasted on the REAL FFII but I won't hold it against this game. My favorite of the final fantasy series and I've played just about all of them. I haven't played Chrono Trigger, couldn't tell you how that one is.

2 great games for a reasonable price

If your like me and you are tired of the shallow games with little play time and a story line thinner than deli meat pick this up. Both games have a rich story line and excellent game play. Enjoy.
