Nov. 2024

In my reviews of the previous Final Fantasy games, I gave different recommendations depending on how much time you’ve got for gaming, because Final Fantasy I, II, and III are fine games in my opinion, but they’re not that great. Final Fantasy IV, though, is a whole different story. It takes the series to the next level. The story is great, and for once, the characters actually have interesting personalities! That’s something the older games were really missing. The gameplay is solid, and everything runs smoothly. If you’re into jRPGs, you should really try this one. It's simply a great game.

Oct. 2024

A classic game that definitely got a beautiful upgrade! The story is short but sweet, the gameplay is still just as good as ever, the soundtrack is GODLY, the boosts definitely can help new players (or players that don't wanna grind to level 70 to get that one achievement), and yeah despite it being a 33-year-old game, it still holds up remarkably well! This will always be a game I go back to!

Sept. 2024

I don't remember the game being this short originally, but I guess it kind of is. But much like the other entries in the PR collection, the updated graphics, animations, music, etc is all fantastic. I do wish it had some of the content from the later editions of the game, such as the Cave of Trials. It's card to call these the definitive version with cut content.

May 2024

I played both the FFIV Pixel Remaster and the FFIV 3D remake side-by-side for good comparisons Much more fast-paced than the 3DR, also combat is simpler as well. Not as cinematic (like the other PR FF games that came prior) Compared to the titles I played prior (1, 2, 3 PR and 3 3DR), combat changed a lot. Instead of it being a full turn-based experience, it has an action bar that fills up and when filled you'll get your turn for a character after other PCs/enemies who had action bars fill prior. Honestly a very clunky mechanic, in both variants of FFIV that I played. When casting spells, there is an invisible "Castbar" that has to fill as well, this was only apparent to me as this castbar is not invisible in the 3DR version of FFIV Story was a massive improvement compared to the titles I played prior, for the first time in this series I honestly cared what characters were doing what and what was going on. The games seem to get better about this as I go through the series.

April 2024

Final Fantasy IV came out in the US in 1991 as Final Fantasy 2 for the SNES. I was a 10-year old boy, but boy did this game influenced my tastes in games for decades to come. Every JRPG that came after, I just had to compare it to FFIV. FFIV is the quintessential hero's journey. It's packed with a lot of life's lessons for any one 10-year old boy to learn. Friend becomes enemy, enemy becomes friend, morality vs loyalty, betrayal, third-party love situation, the limitation of life in old age, spoony bards, the duality of man, and journeying through self-discovery when the protagonist, Cecil, finally learns who he is and where he's from. This port stays true to the original Japanese version with a lot of QOL improvements that makes the game easier to enjoy 30 years later. The 4x exp/gil boost is a welcomed addition along with the fast-forward feature. It's a beautiful game that deserves it's place in history as one of the greatest JRPG ever made, with a legendary story about the human experience that resonates to this day.
