Comments on: Final Fantasy IV: A Final Word http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy/final-fantasy-iv-a-final-word.htm Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:12:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Mike Blitz http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy/final-fantasy-iv-a-final-word.htm#comment-3373 Mike Blitz Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:51:41 +0000 http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy/final-fantasy-iv-a-final-word.htm#comment-3373 Thanks for the updates. FFIV (DS) might be a good game for me to revisit after (if?) I finish the series. Lately, I've been thinking it would be fun to play the series in English as well (but wouldn't write a blog about it). Thanks for the updates.

Yes, I heard the difficulty wasn't easy. I'm not exactly great at hard games, but I think I'd try really quite hard with this game, because it would be enjoyable enough for that. Sounds cool.

Some monster groups can litterally decimate your party when they launch their group attacks all at the same times. In Babil tower, for exemples, there are packs of 2 flame hounds (or something like that) and their flame does 500-600 on everyone. My Cecil had the most HP by far with about 2000 and Rosa had about 1000. What can you do with a barrage like that at the beginning of a battle?!? you can just run... Except that great game with some little scenaristic surprises added into the mix (which are added mostly in the end)! Yeah, this one is worth getting despite its sometime cheating difficulty!

I think I will, it seems different enough from the other versions, with enough new (and good) content to make it worth my while. And it seems other people (like you two) are liking it, so I think I'll get it, but probably not very soon I was thinking of getting that, and I wasn’t sure.

I just got Rydia back in the DS version, and I'm lovin' this remake. I didn't think it would be as good as it is. Final Fantasy games are really surprising me lately, first this and now Crisis Core. One question:Didn't Rydia learn Meteor on a much lower level in the GBA and SNES versions? Slow, huh? I just got Rydia back in the DS version, and I’m lovin’ this remake.

And man, the final dungeon is hard...when I got in, my characters were around level 60-65 and after days of crawling in trying to get all the chests and get all the maps 100% discovered, here's my levels : Kain : 81 Cecil : 83 Edge : 80 Rydia : 80 (and she just learned Meteor) and Rosa : 82 The battles of the crystal part of the dungeon were still a challenge as were the weapon bosses. The best spell in the game is Slow (it even works on Zeromus, who is a real wimp with this active). Well, I’ve figured it would be the best place to post it but I finished FFIV DS!

I still found the Quicksave thing annoying, because in dungeons if the power cut off, or if I stupidly switched it off accidentaly, then I'd loose some stuff...

I got lucky in FF3 and didn't die in the last dungeon. In FF4, I got hammered repeatedly in the final battle. I think my impressions of FF3 would have been a bit different if I had lost that last battle and had to start that final dungeon again. Chocobo,

And I hated that too.

I really feel like I missed quite a bit with it. Also, it was a bit frustrating to just be playing the same one game for sooooo long. That might be good reason for coming back and playing the DS version of the game at some point though. Knock on wood, but my life finally seems to have reverted to normal, so I'm hoping to play through Final Fantasy V in one big stretch. Well, actually, I've played a few hours before I went to Japan, but didn't get a chance to play while I was there. Outside of that break, though, I hope to be able to play through the next few games without having to stop for months at a time. X-Boco,
