The first 5 star in the JRPG genre 0
Final Fantasy 4 was the first in the series to combine a great gameplay with a great story, the first 3 lacked one of the two, you can call the first of the great ones.The character design and personality was revolutionary in a RPG at the time. The character driven plot making a dramatic narrative, going for things like search for morality, makes alot of fans of the series consider the 4th game to be the best in the series, and I respect that, it's hard to speak against it.This game also introdu...

The Game That Face-Lifted An Entire Genre For Good 2
INTRODUCTION"FFIV revolutionised the genre,beyond the point of recognition,and set some highly ambitious staples,that continues to be followed by the genre,years after they were set."In 1991,very few circles of western-gamers were aware of the rising phenomena of Japanese-RPG. The genre sure had it's solid foundations credited to games like Final Fantasy I and Dragon Warrior. Yet,it lacked the all-important element of "player attachment" and memorablemoments,something which every fan of th...

Final Fantasy IV SNES 0
Pros - The original version and slightly easier than JP version so it's approachable by new rpgamers.Cons - Has noticeable lag in menus and spell casts and music cuts to play sound effects.Imagine, if you will, that is the year 2032 and Final Fantasy 20 has just been released. It is an instant success and for many, it becomes the one and only true Final Fantasy game. Keep in mind that most of these people have never played another Final Fantasy game in their lives. Would you, as a fan of the ser...

Played Through in Winter, Spring, and Summer 09 So…you play as this guy…who has really cool looking armor and decides to get rid of it to stand up against the King he used to wear it for…which is SAD because…it was really cool looking armor... Anyway he teams up with some not so coolly dressed comrades and “Oh” the hijinx they get themselves into over some shiny ass crystals…. As you can see, this game took the majority of a year to play through to my satisfaction (all characters fully leveled, ...

Classic Example of Early-Mid Final Fantasy Games 0
Final Fantasy IV (originally released as Final Fantasy II outside of Japan) centers around the main character Cecil, who senses his king has gone evil. The game does have chocobos. Cecil is a knight who is stripped of his title. Rosa is the main love interest for Cecil. The game uses the Active Time Battle system for battles, in which a gauge is filled up before a player can perform an action such as attack, magic, or summon. The enemies also have their own gauges. The music was composed beauti...

Story trumps high polygon counts any day. 0
Revisiting the earlier games in the Final Fantasy series is not always easy. Ever since Cloud hopped off of the train in Midgar, Final Fantasy has been synonymous with jaw-dropping graphics and flawless presentation. As the power of the consoles has increased, the maestros behind this series have consistently surpassed what players though their hardware was capable of. There is no way that Final Fantasy IV, known as Final Fantasy II when it came out on the SNES, stands a chance against these tec...

A Template for Competency 0
Final Fantasy IV represents an entire era for the industry. It’s an exercise in competent pacing, world design, and character development; during a time when no others dared to be as ambitious. Not only was the JRPG genre was forever changed by its progressive reformations, but it’s one of the early SNES titles that contributed towards its future legacy. I’ll admit, there are aspects of Final Fantasy IV from a mechanical standpoint that time has not aged gracefully, but it&rsqu...
