Well, apparently the past FF games before 7 are good, so I can't complain. :3

Why didn't they use the updated graphics from the DS release?

So there still are people in Square Enix making designs for new content on the 20 plus years old formula and systems? Was this 'After Years' add on a standalone game in the past?

The After Years was a Wii Ware release. $40 worth of DLC. What I'm trying to find out is why this is posted. Everyone already knows what's in the collection.

I think The After Years was a mobile game in Japan, then a  WiiWare release a little bit after that. Never played it though...

It wouldn't have meshed well with the After Years stuff, since that's all 2D. Also this is a lot less work.

If it doesn't include the GBA content, it's hardly complete.

This is a pretty terrible advert. Who wrote the copy for this?
 Thankfully, it's advertising ff4, so if you're in, you're in.

At least it will finally give me a reason to play FFIV. I didn't even know what RPGs were back then, and certainly couldn't afford to buy any with my meager salary of $0. Technically I own the PSX version, but I'd rather wait for this.

Worst trailer narration ever. Makes it sound like a super upbeat story. When it is quite the opposite. Squenix you are fuckin up your advert campaigns. Knock it off.

Same here. And not just "we've redrawn the sprites"; I want a full-on remake of it in the vein of the SGI demo, only with graphics ripped from Dissidia (hey, the 3DS looks like it's slightly more powerful than the PS2). That would make up for The After Years. If you don't understand why I hate this game, then The Complete Collection will perfectly illustrate that point to you, especially if they keep the "we ripped FF6 sprites for most of the game, but past cutscenes keep the tiny sprites" thing from the original.

I don't get what all the fuss is about? I played Final Fantasy IV back in the day when it was called Final Fantasy II on SNES and it was so fucking boring.

Nah I'm fine having played the DS remake, and from what I've heard the after years were pretty terrible anyway. Also Kain turning evil, again, just seems kind of lame.

That voice over was annoying but the game looks good. They really wanted to emphasize the COMPLETE COLLECTION didn't they.

Best game of the series, hands down. Already bought it three times now, can't afford a fourth. Maybe when it goes cheap used.

Allow me to assure everyone that this game will be a waste of money.  Final Fantasy IV on ***DS*** is amazing, the definitive version of this amazing game.  FFIV: The After Years is garbage, I've played through it all on Wii and it pales in comparison to the original.
 
Save yourself $25 and pick up FFIV on DS if you want to relive the magic.

Wow, they couldn't afford to hire a better voice actor? I know it's just a trailer, but the voiceover is so bad it actually makes the game seem worse.

Did anyone else get to :43 and think, "How could those two girls have a baby?" :) I don't wanna be a dick, but Yoshitaka Amano seems only capable of drawing women. That is way, WAY beyond effeminate.
 
Anyway, it seems silly to me to call this the FFIV Complete Collection when it lacks the 3D version Matrix did for the DS. I mean, isn't that the pre-rendered cutscenes from that version? It sure isn't the CG they did for FF Chronicles on PSX. Those would make a nice bonus though.
 
It's a neat idea, but I'd prefer seeing FF6 finally get remade. Perhaps for the 3DS, Matrix will get around to doing Final Fantasies 5 and 6 now that they knocked out III and IV for the DS, as well as the Four Heroes of Light.

so did we really need a 6th different version of FF4? to think that this game is in development alongside final fantasy XIII-2, final fantasy versus XIII, final fantasy type-0 (formerly final fantasy agito XIII), and the ongoing development and staff restructuring of final fantasy XIV.  
 
 
anybody else see a problem here?

The voiceover girl sounds like she did Youtube fandubs or flash animations before getting picked up for this trailer.
