Final Fantasy IV
Home : Games : Reviews : Nintendo DS : Final Fantasy IV

In the end, RPG fans are probably looking at Final Fantasy IV for the DS in one of two lights: The definitive, most polished version of a classic, or a really old RPG with few alterations at its core that Square-Enix is charging a premium for. The way you’re looking at it will obviously depend on how hardcore an FFIV fan you are and how many versions of the game you own. Choose wisely.

Highs
Revamped 3D graphics and music; full voice acting for the FFIV cast for the first time; new Augment system adds an extra layer of depth

Lows
Still too similar to the original game; extra content from FFIV Advance has been removed; parts of Augment system slightly flawed

Final Verdict
The definitive version of FFIV….but just barely. Beautiful and containing a hardcore challenge, but other than the cosmetic changes there’s not much new here. If you’ve never played Final Fantasy IV before, now is the time.
