[joesmokey]

Disappointing that it's CG only, but can't really complain.

I actually can't wait for this one.

 

[Seraph830]

Anyone else notice that the "Theme of Love" song they keep playing is the exact version as the one on the FF4 Piano Collections album?

Real dissapointing trailer though, I would have liked to seen the characters instead of the landscapes. Still I cant wait for this game and hope this means 5 and 6 are on the way.

 

[zurra]

damn can't you just be happy you got anything at all :lol

 

[Seraph830]

I am happy nontheless

But its like SquareEnix has this delicous steak I want to eat, I hear the announcement we will be getting a free sample to hold us over so my mouth waters, and it turns out it was just a sample "smell" of the meal.

 

[Diablos54]

Meh, at least we're getting something.

Too many games to buy for my DS. Can't wait to see Square Enix games polished like this on Wii

 

[clashfan]

I have never played the older FF's. Is IV considered one of the good FF's?

 

[Diablos54]

Very much so. It was the first to have a detailed story and characters.

My favorite one ever.

That's good to hear. Sounds like FF IV DS is a day one purchase for me.

Not as good as FFIII or FFV, but still a good-to-great game.

 

[jvalioli]

That's good to hear. I'm not really a fan of loose RPG stories, so I haven't played a lot of the older FFs.

 

[Tobor]

Looks good, I'm really glad I never finished the GBA version. I can now finish it in style.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

If you mean America III, then your are correct.

If you mean SERIES AS A WHOLE III, you are so so SO wrong.

 

[Pureauthor]

FFIII has the job system. FFIV does not. Therefore FFIII is better by default.

BTW, you had a typo.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Cecil sounds like a total loser.

yeah... his voice is way softer than I imagined.



I'm fired up for this, though.

Here's some hand cam that, uh, somebody shot at Square Enix Party. This version had a little bit of gameplay footage spliced in.

But when there's a game as boring as ANY of those NES FF's, any one after that is instantly better. IV demolishes III.

FFIII isn't boring.

IV demolishes III in nothing that actually matters. III has better gameplay. III wins.

 

[camineet]

Nice CG, too bad the CG makes even the best DS graphics look disappointing.

to be fair, CG makes the best graphics on the most powerful systems look disappointing

 

[Eteric Rice]

III was okay. The lack of save points sometimes made it an absolute bitch to play, though.

I remember I died once and lost like 3 hours worth of level. :O

It's not exactly FFIX or FFV, never mind FFVI, but yeah, still good.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

My excuse for not liking FF3 DS is that I got trapped behind a mountain range or something and couldn't get back to my ship. I didn't realize it at the time when I saved over all of my slots and sure enough I lost about 10 hours worth of playtime.

Doesn't matter though cause I already beat the game on the NES.(And I'll be damned if I ever play that final dungeon again anyway...brutal).

FFIV is decent though horribly dated. If this remake follows the DS version of FF3 expect to see new graphics and music....though not much else(maybe they'll throw in the GBA extras and whatever these "missing scenes" are....oh and maybe some new areas on top of that)

The worst part about this remake though is the fact that you'll have to deal with everyone

Spoiler

killing themselves

in 3D!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

hopefully yesterday.

 

[thefro]

It's got a way better story than III or V. The gameplay's definitely better in V, but you could make a good argument that IV's gameplay is better than III's.

So what are the odds that this is going to get a port to PSP like FF1 and FF2?

One of my favorite parts of the FF series is the music. Has the re-done music on the DS and Advance versions been compressed very much?

That's one of the reasons that I've been hesitating on picking up any portable FF.

The way SE is doing things, yes, it's likely that the PSP will see a legit version of FFIV on it sooner or later - probably not the DS version ported over though (unless they start smoking the blue plants).

FFIVA had compressed music, yes. FFIIIDS has far better music than the NES (duh).

what is DS's sound (music capabilities) like, though? Is it on par with the PS1?


since I've never played a DS game, I have no clue.

 

[Chris Michael]

Well, if it's anything like FFXIIRW, there'll be several CG FMVs throughout the game. But that's not the main point. In the long interview last week Tokita made it very clear that unlike FF3DS, FF4DS will be focused on the story and drama since it's the first dramatic FF. There will be about an hour's worth of "very detailed" 3D cutscenes which are far beyond what was seen in FF3DS. There will also be a ton of FF3DS-level cutscenes littered all over the game for less important scenes.

Can the DS even handle an hour's worth of cutscenes?

 

[Pureauthor]

Definitely not on par. I tend not to care about compositional quality of a music once it gets beyond a certain level.

Sure, look at REDS.

 

[Eteric Rice]

I think that was because of the SD card's memory.
