I read on a few gaming websites that this was supposed to be out today (July 22), but I called around town to a few places, and they hadn't gotten it in yet. I called up Wal-Mart, and they hadn't even HEARD of this being out. What the hell, man? When a site gives an official date the game is released, I expect it to be released on said date!

ill check on gamefaqs, to see if anyone have a US version of the game..
hold on.

nope, it seems the game is not out yet.

however, an user claims the gamestop he preordered called him to tell him the game iwll be out tomorrow afternoon

ff4 will blow you away. This I promise you. Started it and I have no regrets.

Cool. Thanks.

this is an awesome game. i got it yesterday.

I NEED to play that game.

I also got it yesterday, It's still sealed.
I'm playing too many games at the time

I'll download it tonight

Is it out in Australia yet!?

no, i downloaded it. i got r4. YAY!

its sooooooo goood

BRILLIANT SOUNDTRACK

They did a decent job with it, but I prefer the SNES original soundtrack. Some themes are done well, while others are inferior to the original.

Ok, I FINALLY got the game. I am in the Tower of Zot, fighting the Magus Sisters, but those bitches kill me every time, and it's been like 3 or 4 times I've tried killing them. This is truly a hard game, but damn, is it ever good!

they dulled down 'Red Wings' too much.

its extremely supa mega greatly magnificantly awesome.

btw, i had it on the 23 of july

I merged this thread with another that was in the XIII and Beyond section. Hope nobody minds-- Classics discussion really belongs here, if it's discussing a remake of one of the older games.

Thanks, Agent :)

I considered getting this but the $40 price tag was pretty hefty. Also, the graphics were a might close to III's for my taste.

Man, my Copy is still sealed.

I had to start over. The guide at gamefaqs said to put the Bard augment on Rosa, and I had it on Cecil. Plus when I started over I accidentally erased my former game. Dumbass.

haha i finished it.

Man, my Copy is still sealed.

man it still is, playing PW at the moment

I have IV and I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't played the original or Game Boy version before, but I don't find the story as compelling as the epic plotlines from VII onwards.

I hate handhelds, but my gf bought me a ds for my b-day a couple weeks ago. Along with it was the FFIV Remake. It is amazing! This was the first one i played back in 93 or so. Its cool to see the characteres redesigned and the voice acting is very good too.

i hate the voice acting itself, but i like the idea.

HOW HAS NO ONE COMMENTED ON THIS YET?!

I saw it. I just sort of chuckled a little and didn't think much else of it.

It's only an opinion, no need to get defensive about it.

Who's getting defensive? I think it's fucking hilarious.

Any reason why?

Yes.

Any reason why?

Did you read your own quote? You said you hate it but your enjoying it. Thats way beyond a typo, noob.

I think you'll find what I said was that I'm enjoying the game, but don't think the storyline is as good as VII onwards. Labelling somebody a noob just because they have an opinion different to your own is pretty sad.

Neither of you know why I was laughing at the quote.

You're both morons.

Was there really a yellowish and gray version of FF IV? :P

It has a difficulty curve right into a brick wall for me.....I'm stuck at Coganzzo (hope I spelled that right) I somehow randomly get killed instantly from the tsunami....I do love the game despite its brick walls ^^ I so want the music score. I too have an R4 so yay for me. If I did have the money I'd buy it just to contribute the money.

Kill Cagnazzo with Thundara.

YOU CAN MAKE A BRAND NEW SUMMON LOOKS LIKE SOLID SNAKE! THATS PRETTY HARDCORE, EVEN IF THE SUMMON ITSELF IS PISS POOR USELESS!

What the fuck are you going on about Matt? You can't make a summon. You can customize Whyt, but you can't make a summon.

You misread what he said.


He said that you can customize a summon that appears to be brand new for this remake, and make it look like Solid Snake.

So yeah, you can "make" that summon look like whatever you manage to fit on these big pixels, like he clearly said.

Kill Cagnazzo with Thundara.

Kill crouteru with Thundara.

What Summon is that? Because the only one that I know you can customize is Whyt's face.

Duh, it's Whyt.

Are you dumb or what?


And you can unlock additional outfits to change the appearance of his body, in addition to drawing him a face of your choice (to make him look like, say, Solid Snake).

Kill crouteru with Thundara.

Like I said, sad.

now that ff4 is out... will they do ff5 nd 6?

Haven't both of those been done already?

What the fuck are you going on about Matt? You can't make a summon. You can customize Whyt, but you can't make a summon.

.... That's the BRAND NEW SUMMON I was inferring to. Geez.

Haven't both of those been done already?

He meant a DS remake of V and VI like III and IV for the DS.
Those haven't yet been announced.


Personally, I'd prefer if they did a remake of VI on a home console, rather than on a handheld.

I'm not really bothered, it would be nice if they did, with voice of course. They are releasing Chrono Trigger on DS as well. Square might remake Final Fantasy VII on PS3 but we'll have to wait and see.

I meant on DS stupid!

wtf Asamiya that scared the s**t out of me!

I meant on DS stupid!

I think you're the one who's stupid there.


Now it's up to you to realize the reason.

hmm.... why am I stupid? That's a tough one! You tell me!

The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his way.

Oh wait, wrong proverb.

exactly so shut up! wait... im no fool

ok I just lost by being turned into works of art lol. How it managed to turn my entire party to stone was pretty interesting it took out the only two people who knew esuna and I didnt have any items for it either >.< God bless the underworld.

Some comments posted a while back:

Squeenix wouldn't release an old FF rehash on a current console because they'd never get their investment back. Putting a rehash on a current console would cost millions, with all the technical work that would have to be done, and the much much larger staff required to produce such a work. It wouldn't sell anywhere NEAR as well as a brand new game with game play innovation and modern themes. We'd all buy an XBox 360 rehash of Final Fantasy 6 but people who aren't hardcore fans would look at the antique game play and give it a pass. It's a shame, but whatever. It's much much MUCH cheaper to remake a game on the DS. Besides, portability is awesome. :)

Also I wouldn't count on them ever remaking FF7 either. For pretty much the same reasons. Maybe on the PSP but it's highly doubtful considering the low sales Crisis Core got. We fans really dropped the ball on that one.

Hey you never know! Everybody liked FF7 so remaking it on PSP or even on Xbox 360/Playstation 3 would be very popular! It would be nice to see them do it. But we'll never know until they say

ive never played ff7.

ive never played ff7.
You should as soon as you get the chance. It's brill! I suppose Theta Sigma (loving the Doctor Who signature) backs up my point that they should remake it and if they don't then people who haven't played the game miss out... or should buy a copy of the original online.

I've never played Chrono Trigger but then I heard they're releasing it on DS so I was really excited!

Enhanced port != remake.

Swami, by your logic then the enhanced versions of the first Star Wars trilogy movies should be called remakes.


And we both know that's not what they are.

!= means does not equal.

oh! My bad, I didn't know that.

Yeah it's much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than =/=

I got, and I have to say it's amazing. The voice actors were horrible, but Cid's made me laugh every time. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

rawr. T_T I somehow lost all my ff data.... and i had just gotten to the land of summons. Oh well if at first you dont succede, Destroy all evidence that you tried.

Words to live by.

I cant find FFIV anywhere.....I heard it came out a while ago in Oz but every clerk at every store I try looks at me like I am a leper and that my chin may fall off and land right in their coffee.

-.-

Shit, man, I like every voice actor that Square-Enix has ever used. I don't think they're bad at all. Maybe some of the voices (Tidus) could use a manlier sound, but other then that, I think they're great.

Tidus was manly! I mean just look at the size of his sword! >:O

probably compensating for summin *wink wink*

I think I said in my introduction thread that FFVIII was my favorite of them, but I guess I forgot about FFIV...

And I really enjoyed the remake of it for the DS. Some of the music was iffy though...such as Zeromus's theme, it seemed watered down in a way.

I finally picked FFIV up last week and am LOVING it!

Thought this would be useful for the math minigame. Input the problem and the site gives u the solution.

I gathered they would eventually make something like this, but it's difficult to do if you keep coming across ones that you can't figure out :P

I finally reached the final boss, but curse him>:O ! What kind of final boss uses a move like meteor so often?! Anyways, finally about to finish my first FF game=) !

hey i just got ff4 in Ds and im stuck on the first battle in the tower of babil sorry i cant remeber the name it was doctor in the second battle i read aguide saying recommend level are roughly around 38 but mine are in 50 and i still cant win

Second battle against Dr. Lugae... I presume you mean the battle where he keeps using Reverse Gas? Remember that it inflicts Reverse on him as well, so throw a couple of Elixirs at him after he uses the move. If you don't have any Elixirs, use other healing items or spells. Be careful with spells though: he may use Reverse Gas again during the charge time, causing your spells to heal him.

oh thanks slavka, it worked so well.

Just bought it yesterday, damn good game! I've just beaten the octopus thing at the waterfall.

It is a brilliant game, has so many brilliant twist to look foward to so dont stop playing. lol:loldata:

That happened to me too! Although I'd only just got to Cecil's Paladin trials, so not quite as bad. But still! Damn corrupted data! I don't even know how it happened. o.O

if this means that they could all be screwing up we ned to see if anyone else has corrupted because then thats a giant flaw from the company right?? :s

FFIV for the DS was a very good remake IMO. It was cool seeing everything in a 3D form, and not pixelated. I hand it to Square-Enix for making this.

I beat it already. Won't spoil the new spoilers in it. Very awesome remake! Wish they put the advanced dungeons back in, though.

I got FF3 and FF4 at the same time and i've been jumping from one to the other I am at the final dungeon in 4 but the final bosse's idiotic big bang attack kills edge rydia and rosa any help?
