JJ

At least there are a couple attainable achievements for casual players.

Whomp Wily!
Clear the game once. 5

Destroyer
Defeat your 1000th enemy. 20

This one might be possible just by "finishing off" the bosses with Mega Buster
Trusty Sidearm
Defeat the 8 Bosses with the Mega Buster. 20

I'm worried about playing this with crappy Xbox 360 D-pad

Bezeau: "If they are all the same, 360 for the bonus of getting points."
jlaudio7:"Whichever one is cheaper. If they're all the same price, I'll probably get it on XBox 360 for the achievements."

I enjoyed FFIII DS at the beginning but I never finished it either because I also got lost and didn't know where I was going. If you like story in your game I'd go with FFIV DS.

What platform are you getting the game for?

I love my achievments and playing with friends (most on 360) - Madden has killed me over the years. Too complicated. Will All-Play controls of Wii be in the other versions (or at least something similar). The last 2 football games I bought were Madden 99 and NFL 2K5.  I'm leaning towards the Wii but no achievments and no friends to play with.

As a kid I played the hell out of the SNES version beating countless times. Kids can't afford games so that is why I played it all the time. I'm loving the DS version. Some of the voices don't sound right but that's because I had my own voices on the non-voice SNES version. The auto-battle option has to be the best thing ever to happen to FInal Fantasy IV - at least for someone like me who know what is going to happen next and can plan accordingly.

Anyone reading this who doesn't have the game... get it, now!

Sadly, I didn't play at all today. I was at the beach from high noon until sundown.

I never even thought of pirating it. Mainly because I don't have those fancy DS chips/memory card/pass through things.

I did buy it though.

Having the game "hold down A" for you. Is awesome. Especially if you remember the game inside and out. You know what the weaknesses are of the bosses and enemies so you all you have to do is set it up.

If they remake FF VI like this it better include Auto-Battle.

I was always trying to view the FFIV page as a combination of all the "version" of the game. Not just DS only. I think I read the directions on posting or something. Even watched the whole Create A Bomb video.

I love the forums on each page. Giantbomb is nearly my favorite site now. I just wished it loaded faster on my iPhone (3g doesn't live where I live)

Nonetheless, I'm so glad that we have an entire page and forum devoted to this awesome game.
