Since all pig status does is prevent you from using spells, a flying/jumping pig is just as powerful as a human one, but is funny (ironic?) to me. Also kind of fun/challenging? is to beat the last place/boss with Lamia Harps equipped to 4/5 party members.
Oh I use save states for some things (mainly finding things out), but I'm just so used to playing on a console most of the time the normal game timing doesn't bother me in most cases.

Just because FF6 was practically top of the line when it came to 16 bit visuals doesn't mean it shouldn't receive an overhaul. Infact, it's among the few in the series that deserves an upgrade.

No changes to the difficulty between the original SNES version and the GBA one (Or the Wonderswan version for that matter) as far as I know. Scarlet may know more though.
The major difference between the two is that the fast run option. It makes backtracking and getting through areas much quicker so you cut a ridiculous amount of time from the game. The game is designed to be played with the crawl pace and that kind of inflates the time spent with it if you played the original versions.
The game doesn't hold up nearly as well as FF5 or FF6 and the game's design kind of shows it when a 30-40 hour game originally is reduced to 9-12 hours. This is why I think a FFIV remake is kind of a waste unless they really beef up the content more.

The Wonderswan Color, PS1, and GBA versions let you run in towns/dungeons.
The GBA version is more or less a port of the Wonderswan Color version with the wonky ATB intact and new stuff added. Both are based on the original release (aka 'hardtype' to some people) with some glitches taken out (can't dupe at all or maybe 1 thing then it stops working, I don't think you can skip the Ancient Cave anymore, and I can't remember if steal->equip works in them but I am thinking no, and they probably took out the hidden items on the ground in a couple spots).
Due to the wonky ATB, some enemies are a lot easier (some can be beaten before they perform an action) while some characters/commands are nerfed (Jump and Charge mainly).

I don't think I cast it nor equipped the Avenger, so I couldn't say. I wouldn't doubt it was since the other nerfed commands were time-based.

When they redid FFIII(DS)'s soundtrack, did Nobuo help out in any way (beyond that one black mages track) and were new tracks added?

Well, in the JP one, it's supposed to be spelled like the Cain from the bible. Maybe they thought how it's spelled/pronounced?

I rarely go back through RPGs if I don't have to, even on the ones I love (DQVIII and SoA). I'm not sure if there was a text skip or if it was just that much easier or what. I know there were instances that I left the game on and watched The Office or The Simpsons for 30 minutes (because I do that with EVERY single game).
Anyway, most Final Fantasy titles took me 36-42 hours. This one was much much shorter. I almost preferred it that way, since it was sort of a hilarious way at going through the story. Losing/adding so many cast members in the span of about 8 hours was ****ing great.

Not sure if i'll double dip with FFIV. The character designs look just odd to me in that pseudo SD form.
Plus i played this game late (PSOne version) and the story that most people raved about just didn't grab me all too much. It was pretty good, but there were way too many
. Once was ok, but after a while it just got silly.

fake deaths just so they could free up a roster spot for a new character

the conference/party starts Friday in the AM in Japan, right?
So late, late tomorrow?
Goddamnit I can't wait for the FFXIII trailer descriptions. Any Japanese GAFers going to this thing, since it's open to the public?
TheJollyCorner said:
You know I just found out it's at Makuhari Messe. Apparently my company is going to providing some of the big displays, so I think I might go!
The tokyo game show was lame last fall. So many people in cosplay, and most gamers are from the post FF7 generation and I find it hard to/DO NOT WANT to relate to them.

Yea that was the true breaking point for me. That was the moment when it just got silly. Especially when you combined it with the
flip/floppin Kain. Hey he's on our side...er..nope he's controlled again!
Eventhough i just got the GBA version i can`t pass on this one.
FFIV has been my favourite FF along with VI so i guess i`ll have to help square milk their cow:lol
Just have to import it though...since FFIII DS only reached EU last week i can` even imagine when will this show up...

Cecil looks like he's straight out of Romancing Saga Minstrel Song...
I think as opposed to say a movie or something where 80% of GAF has not seen it. IMHO 80% of GAF has played/beat FFIV.Jonnyram said:Hey guys... you'd think with this being a thread about a remake of FFIV, that there might be more use of the spoiler tag, rather than just flashing boss names everywhere. Just saying. I've not played the game yet

Oh. Well I'll try to beat this today.
Supercool time on SM. You *can* spark all the way up to the top, but it is risky. Sometimes it works, sometimes you go about 5 blocks up and the spark stops.

FFIII was the first game in the series to have a good developed story and nice characters. Indeed, it's quite enjoyable on the DS and pretty solid in gameplay, art and music. I recommend it to everyone.
And about FFIV in relation of FFIII... they're a bit similar.... but the scenario is quite different. I prefer FFIII (DS) over FFIV (SNES), because the FFIV for Super Nes was too cheesy and easy. The remake should be wonderful.

I haven't played FFIII or IV, but I do know that the characters in IV are less unique than in FFVI where each character has a unique ability like Tools, Blitz, and Mime. FFIII has the job system which lets you change your characters around to perform certain functions, but the game's actual battles have been described as tedious and frequent. The story, while more fleshed out that its predessors, isn't considered to be of the same caliber as FFIV onward. I skipped out on FFIII because of the reviews I read, but if you don't mind constant battle then go for it.

They should have gotten the Crystal Chronicals guys to do it. :|
Still looks good, though.

I think not. I find this easier on the eyes. Maybe it's the babified CC look, but FFIV looks a lot more appealing to me.

Well, I'm sure they could do the models in a non-Chibi way. The Chibi thing is CC's style, they could do normally if needed.
