After playing Final Fantasy XIV for āa coupleā hours now, I figured that it would be a good idea to see where everything started, and thanks to these lovely Pixel Remasters of the first few Final Fantasy games, it is easier than ever to do. Overview As all the other classic Final Fantasy games, FF IV is a turned based jrpg with a huge open world and not too much guidance. Since itās a rpg from the āold daysā it expects you to talk to NPCās to find out where to go and to explore its world. Which has its charm but can certainly be challenging if you havenāt played a game like this before. (But in case you get lost, there are guides, so donāt let this discourage you from enjoying this great game.) Story Once again it falls to you and your party to save the world from evil and corruption. Someone is collecting all the powerful crystals for an unknown goal, all you know is that you have to put an end to the killing and fighting and stop whatever doom looms in the distance. While, like always, I donāt want to say too much to the story, FF IV is so far my favorite. If you are like me a FFXIV players, lets say you will meet enemies from the post Endwalker content. Gameplay After a brief intro and learning the very basics of the combat system, the world is yours to explore within certain limitations. Monsters donāt scale with your level (thankfully) so I can happen that you run into monsters which you arenāt ready for yet. Like in most classic Role-Playing-Games you level up through combat, find new gear, new key items through quests, and unlock new skills and meet new party members along the way. One of the benefits of this system is, that if you hit a little wall, you can always just go and grind monsters for an extra level or two and overcome the wall. You never really get stuck. I still recommend saving often and to do so on more than one save file, just to be sure. Final Fantasy IV introduces some new elements to the combat, of which Iām a huge fan of. Each party member has an energy bar which slowly fills and only then you can do an action, in this way the fights feel like a mix of round-based combat, mixed in with some light element of real time combat. This system works really well and made the fights much more enjoyable to me personally. Another difference is that, beside summons, your party members learn new abilities by leveling up and you cannot choose your party members like in previous games. Your setup changes depending on your story progress and characters you meet. While this at first sounds like a downgrade, it is well balanced and worked well for me in every combat encounter. Features -A huge open world -Lots and lots of enemy variety -Tons of different spells, gear and weapons -Lots of dungeons with different themes and creative challenges -Boss Battles of which most offer their unique challenges and twists -Modern, optional, comfort features, like quick saving at any point and more Graphic/Audio/Tech For the Tech, I had zero issues, no stutters no crashes, the game is perfectly optimized for modern PCās On the graphic side, if you enjoy pixel art, this game looks fantastic. The world is full of wonders, and the sprite art is great. Enemies, Combat backdrops, and dungeons in general offer so much variety in their optic. The spells especially look fantastic when used, and you wonāt grow bored of looking at them. The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, itās really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day. Final Thoughts If you like older jrpgs or are a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise and havenāt played this game yet, I can only recommend it. The world is huge and offers a lot of variety, the combat system is a lot of fun and itās all packed into a good story that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It maybe takes a while to get the hang on it, but it is absolutely worth doing so. And if you are a Final Fantasy XIV player like me, you will discover so many places, and meet npcs and enemies which also exist in FFXIV, it will put some smiles on your face and provide a lot of āahhhhā moments.

This is my opinion! Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remastered is a stunning remake that beautifully preserves the charm of the original while introducing modern enhancements. The graphics are gorgeous, with subtle yet impactful improvements that make the game feel both nostalgic and fresh. The reorchestrated soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu is a true masterpiece, adding a new layer of emotional depth to the game. The quality of life updates, such as improved user interfaces and streamlined gameplay mechanics, make this classic JRPG more accessible and enjoyable than ever before without losing the charm of the original. The story, a genre-defining narrative of betrayal, love, and redemption, remains as compelling as ever with its narrative and memorable characters, just as it did when it originally released. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remastered is a must-play.

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!

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.

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.
