I've heard from hardcore Final Fantasy IV fans that, it's not as good as the SNES or Playstation version for whatever reason. What are the major changes from the SNES and Playstation versions apart from graphics and sound?
They wouldn't be hardcore fans if they could do something as simple as admitting the game is alright. No doubt one of them will be enraged enough to make an exhaustive list of the differences. Keep an eye on Gamefaqs. |

As a fan of the series' past (they lost me after VI), I can tell you it plays not as smooth as the SNES version, but is a lot better than the Playstation version. It has a few slowdowns, f.ex. when using impressive magic in combat, which makes it less smoth than SNES FFIV. It does not have enormous loading times, and transitions from combat to world map and back, and from menu screen and back are almost instant, instead of again loading from the disk. I can't really comment about the translation and dialogues, as the other versions were played quite some time ago. So: It is the very good FF game it ever was, and with its new save anywhere anytime feature well suited to portable gaming. |

I was certain I had played this on the SNES, but looking at the screenshots palom and porom are in your party and I remember them to be extremely hard bosses.

Nope, random battles are as I remember them. I actually think that half the fun of FF comes from battles, so I don't mind, but that's just me.
Random encounters are frequent and really random. There is no guarantee that you won't be attacked again after as much as a single step. On the other hand, you might roam around for a long time unmolested. It's random.

What a crappy review. It doesn't explain what makes the game different to other final fantasy's how the mechanics work or in fact anything at all. All it does is explain the absolute basics of a JRPG over 800 words with not a single spark of wit.
Eurogamer, ask for your money back! |

Yeah, who is pocket gamer? If you won't even put your name on your reviews then why should I trust it? Don't hide behind free advertising.

That was an absolutely dreadful review. No qualms about the score or any drivel like that, just the review was absolutely awful and I couldn't even be bothered to read through to the end.
Is it just me or does 'pocketgamer' sound like that sort of bloke who stands at the bar drinking his pint, whilst having his hand in his pocket playing with his 'stress balls' whilst looking at the blonde german guy over on the pool table with the very tight fitting white muscle top.......just me then!

I got this over the holidays, but have only recently begun playing it. I missed the SNES wave (was in college at the time), so this is my first time through. So far, it seems like a fine RPG that I can play on my GBA. Random encounters are a bit annoying, but that's par for the course in Square games. I wish they'd released it on the DS though...the GBA sound chip is complete garbage.

I really wanted to like this. I wanted to like this, and then I'd go on to FF3 on the DS and FF5 and FF6 on the GBA and like them as well, and then I could consider myself a bit hardcore. But...the random battles in this just drove me around the bend - you can't explore outside at all because every 3 or 4 seconds you run into yet another fight, and they're not even particularly interesting fights. Meh.
