Product Description:
Final Fantasy IV for DS is a must-play for those looking to jump into the best-selling RPG franchise in the world. Four elemental Crystals, each possessing awesome power, lie scattered throughout the realm. However, men are quick to covet things that offer strength, and easily corrupted by the might that they possess. Seduced by the promised power of the Crystals, the kingdom of Baron begins employing unprovoked force to seize them from peaceful nations. The dark knight Cecil - Lord Captain of Baron's elite force, the Red Wings - is ordered by his king to obtain the Crystals, but soon begins to question the monarch's motives. Stricken with grief at his own actions, yet burdened by his loyalty to his country and his personal sense of honor, Cecil at last decides to turn from the path of darkness and destruction. Enraged, the king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist. Cecil embarks on a fateful journey that will bring trials, betrayals, friendship, loss, and self-discovery. Train and customize Whytkin by playing a variety of mini-games and challenge another player to head-to-head battle via local wireless connection

Content: I never played the original, and I've only played all the Kingdom Hearts, FFX, X-2, XII and the updated FFIII DS. In short, this feels like a continuation and perfection of III. Voice acting was a nice touch, graphics feel classier and the plot holds up. Make no mistake, you will need a strategy guide with a few bosses, but overall, its workable. I'm glad I purchased this game, it makes me unexpectedly happy.
Summary: Worthy update

Content: This is nothing more than an enhancement of a redo from a couple of years ago. I thought that there was new elements, but they are so few and far in between that there really is none. If you already have the previous version, save your money and buy a different game. If you do not have it, then buy the earlier version, because there are too few save points in this game and if you are killed, you have to start from the start.
Summary: Nice Graphics, Lousy Play

Content: I recently started playing the Final Fantasy series for the first time :0...I'm a 34 year old male and can't explain why I missed out on this series when I was younger. I started with FF I&II for the gba and then III for the DS and then this one. So my impressions/review comes from playing them in order for the first time without any comparisons to the later ones (IE: highly regarded VI and VII)
I enjoyed this game, but unlike others I enjoyed Final Fantasy III for the DS more.
The 3D visuals and cinematics are fantastic for the DS!!! Music is good as always for a Final Fantasy title. The story is good, and the movies and voice make it better.
The gameplay lacks compared to FF III in my opinion. The characters that you get are limitted to their 'job' unlike FF III. You can't customize the characters nearly as much, other than the augment system which is okay in my opinion. I enjoyed leveling up my FF III characters with the jobs I wanted them to have and configuring my party as I wished. In FF IV, your party members have their specific jobs that go along with the story. I enjoyed FF II Advance more than IV due to this limitted leveling up gameplay.
I gave it a 3 star for fun due to the limited character development/customization (which is very important to me) and a 4 star overall due to the enhanced movies and my enjoyment of the Final Fantasy series overall (FF II & III were better in my opinion)
I've been playing Dragon Quest IV lately, and I have enjoyed it's story and character development (story-wise not stat wise) more so than the FF series.
FF IV is definitely worth picking up but waiting until it's cheaper is not a bad idea (it has a premium prices currently at 40 bucks new).
One final note...I was able to 'trade' it straight up for DQIV on gametz dot com which made the premium price not as big of a deal. I highly recommend that site for trading games with others rather than taking them to rip off trading places like gamestop...stepping down from my soap box now :)
Summary: Not great, but a good quality game...fantastic visuals for DS.

Content: hmph. Square-Enix obviously doesn't call this a remake if they've decided to take the stylus functionality that was made famous in the Final Fantasy III DS Remake out of this one, which for everyone who has bought this game is disappointed about. people who has bought this game (especially me) want to make very good use of the stylus and Square-Enix remade the game to prevent that. therefore I and alot of people around the world who like i said have bought and played this game are utterly disappointed about it. stil great remake though with added voice overs and stuff.
