I love FFIV

Great additions to the game. It's like they took my first love, made it able to speak to me, put it in beautiful clothes, and I can take it out for dinner and a movie again. Voice acting is occasional, and well done. My one complaint is I've always pronounced the main character "Cecil" as "see-sill" and they pronounce it "seh-sil".

FFIV remake slightly different gameplay with updated graphics.

This game was originally sold as Final Fantasy II in North America for the Super Nintendo. This is now the third remake of the game that I am aware of. The First remake was for the PS. The second remake was for the GBA. Finally, we have this remake for the DS.

The story is pretty well known. For anyone who has not played the original or the remakes, this is a must play game. The story has not been altered much. Most people who buy this probably have played it before. First off, this is supposed to be the hard version of the game based off the original Japanese version. It has updated graphics that give it a PS1, N64 feel to the game. It has a new feature called augments that allow you to give special abilities to different characters for example, you can give Yang's kick ability to Cecil. This is an interesting change but you don't have to use them at all. We also have voice acting sometimes which is performed well is some areas, bad in others. Edge in particular, is pretty shameful. Then, we have the sound/music issue which can get choppy at times. Not good for people who enjoy the music.

I was hesitant to buy this remake but it was worth it just to see how the monsters and characters were rendered and the updated spell castings. For new comers, this would be perfect for playing it the first time through. For long time fans of the game or completists, this is good buy. The casual fan should just rent this one.

Awesome

I grew up with the game on the 16 bit systems so I may be a little biased. But this new adaptation of the game is just awesome, it keeps all the fun of the original plus adds voice acting and great graphics for the DS. I recommended this game to all fans of old school RPG's

Good remake

This game has everything a fan of Final fantasy could want; good characters, good storyline, and the same spells that we are used to. Even if this is your first rpg, it is very user friendly. The biggest bonus (in my opinion) is the mini-map system for dungeons. Youll never get lost again thanks to this feature.
All in all a great game.

Stellar remake.

I can only hope they decide to remake all of the older final fantasies in this fashion.

My only issue is gameplay itself. Sometimes I found the game to be a bit too difficult and had to grind for hours to level my characters for the next major battle.

A Splendid Fantasy

In 1992, when Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II US) was released in the states, it was a big part of my world. The game was so much fun! I found out it was being reworked around a year before its release in the states for a 4th time and was pretty amazed with the games potential. This remake is more life-like; although it is a little too cute, it means well. The musical score in this game is more enhanced while not changing the "classic" music itself. The gameplay is indeed much more difficult, but treats you to a more elaborate fighting/ability system. The story has also been beefed up to tell a more complete and satisfying tale. The replay value is quite nice too. It gives you a chance to take more advantage of the gameplay multiple times around. If you loved the original Final Fantasy IV, then you will also love the new Final Fantasy IV for Nintendo DS-and if you're a new comer to the game or the series for that matter, this is sure to be a treat also. I give it a 9/10.

Classic

I've played about 3 versions of this game in it's previous form and this one takes the cake. Currently up to Rubicante...(Was it flame?). Really makes good use of the DS capabilities. One of the best games made for the DS!

Great game

I'm a new Final Fantasy fan - I have only previously played FF III for the DS. I'm really enjoying this new version, especially the new combat mode. I think without the guide I would find it a bit too frustrating, and there are a couple sticking points for less-experienced players, especially when major fights are right in a row with no break to heal. However, overall I would say that if you think you'll like it based on what you've read, you're almost sure to enjoy it.
