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.

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.

FF IV (aka II) is my favorite FF game.  Amazed from the beginning to the end.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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