FINAL FANTASY IV

I’m sure the game is fine and has all it’s old school charm however, the audio refuses to work. Not matter how much I uninstall/reinstall

The 3D aspect really isn’t an upgrade over the original sprites. And this applies moreso to the music. Not one musical track was improved over the original. You really need to offer the original music as an option because the new versions just sound odd.

This is my second Final Fantasy game. I recently bought a backbone one for my phone. I love old games and this one had me hooked at the start. Highly recommend!

I enjoy the lower difficulty than the DS as well as mapmaking (items if traveled 100%) and cinematography within the story, which voice acting and improved graphics make moments, like the moon showing through the window in Cecil’s bedroom or the opening that was added (though brainwashing is overused). The battle system also allows you to choose what attack to repeat and you have augments to experiment with multiple commands, including hotkey magic and fun window designs. All of which are not in the pixel remaster, as well as the depth of Dark Knight Cecil’s mask that he fully wears in battle, and partially has in cutscenes or shows his eyes if he wants. He also has a soliloquy while opening the menu. The main issues I had are that you backtrack a lot with a useless teleport (towers, sealed cave and tunnels are not dungeons) quicksave is kinda dated, forcing you to save and the default combat speed is slow at 4, so you’d have to set it to 1 after the first battle. Edward’s harp sometimes clips through his cape like when Tellah attacks him, but I’ll take that with the best versions of his bard songs to quickly regen and later haste the party (he’s not as good in the after years/pixel remaster). Also, Cid working on airships has the worst animation I’ve seen in a game as sometimes he’s not even holding the hammer properly. Fortunately, Golbez’s motivational backstory, normal difficulty being challenging but fair, and developer’s office extras not in the pixel remaster, make this the definitive version despite the fact they messed up and I lost my defender Kain had equipped despite him returning to the party in the endgame. It was better than his Gungnir, so just robbing me makes no sense.

It’s good but the original was better when it came to the battle scenes the villains look rushed and pixelated compared to the original. also i remember how cool it looked when you would hit a target with magic and spells compared to this. Since its a strategy game the flow and look of the battle scenes are important and i dont get that with this version. But its still a good game

Played the original back in the 90s. This one was a fun blast from the past. Finished it in under a month. No problems just a fun play through. Would recommend it to anyone who remembers this game for back in the day. Hope you enjoy it!

Great game. I’ve tried everything but I can’t get the sound to work.

I bought this in a package of FF 1-FF 6 years ago. Around 2021/2022. I had them installed on my phone the entire time since then but now I only have access to FF 3, 4, & After Years. It’s extremely disappointing & frustrating even after trying to reach out for support. They’ve been less than helpful & I either want all of my games back or a full refund for them.
