Played the original back in the 90s. This one was a fun blast from the past. Finished it in under a month. No problems just a fun play through. Would recommend it to anyone who remembers this game for back in the day. Hope you enjoy it!
Itās ok

Itās good but the original was better when it came to the battle scenes the villains look rushed and pixelated compared to the original. also i remember how cool it looked when you would hit a target with magic and spells compared to this. Since its a strategy game the flow and look of the battle scenes are important and i dont get that with this version. But its still a good game
FF4 Fan happy and sad

This is one of the most iconic RPGās of SNES. Iāve been a fan for a long time of this franchise. Letās start with the positives. 1st, I enjoy the new look of the game. The characters, cut scenes, world graphics, and how the weapons change as you get different onesā¦. All very cool additions to the game. Even the augment stuff and trophy hunting didnāt bother me, I found it fun to add this to the beloved game itselfā¦. Follows the story exactly, no weird changes or anything, and all of that is 5 star work!!!
Now, the negative thatās a total vibe killerā¦. The MUSIC!!! Ugh⦠I donāt know if the new composer is like totally tone deaf or just decided that he wanted to āimproveā one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, but the problem is like nails on a chalkboardā¦. This person completely changed many of the bass lines and it totally vibe kills the game for meā¦. The ever popular battle music for normal battles, like dude you canāt mess with that! And what about the drum programming in that battle music? Itās like you programmed a drummer making a mistake on the hits, there aināt even no kick drum with the cymbal hits!!! Ugh, and Mount Ordeals???? The bass line totally changed the song and thereās no magic there anymore. Just absolutely BRUTAL!! This is just a couple examples out of many.
One of the best experiences of playing ANY final fantasy game is the music, especially Nobuo Uematsuās work. His music sets the vibe for the game. So, to actually have the audacity to change it yourself or incompetence to take on this challenge and fail that horribly, itās truly an outrage. I can barely keep playing the game hearing this brutal destruction of so many of the wonderful tracks this game had. It drives me crazyā¦. I couldāve done such a better jobā¦. Anyway, thatās why the 3 stars. Overall great remake, and itās a shame that the music didnāt keep up with the game.
Bug makes it impossible.

I played this game back in the day and with this port, the boss Goblez is basically unbeatable with the way it is set up. Everything you hit him with basically just heals himā¦.sad that i got this far in the game and now i face a bug that makes what used to be a relatively easy boss into the ultimate badassā¦lol
Please fix

I love the 3D version of this game and I would love it even more if the game music wasnāt shutting off randomly to where I have to reset my phone
Love this game, controls are useless, no controller support

This was my favorite game from childhood and I absolutely love watching the cutscenes bring to life moments of a story that I treasure.
The controls; especially in battle; are as counterintuitive as anything Iāve ever tried to use. I thought I could counter that with a controller, but this game does not support it. Any battle that I canāt auto-battle through (though I do love being able to set auto-battle commands) usually just leads to me quitting the game for a while.
The quality of life improvements are mostly a nice addition, but taking away the ability for characters to equip a variety of weapons is unwelcome.
Overall, this is a nice nostalgia hit, but ultimately not very viable as a game.
Need to offer older music

The 3D aspect really isnāt an upgrade over the original sprites. And this applies moreso to the music. Not one musical track was improved over the original. You really need to offer the original music as an option because the new versions just sound odd.
Would give five stars if ā¦

Love the games originally, still do but the timer on a touchpad does not work well with me at all. Put an option for a turn based setting I would be a fan again.. worse part is that time is important and when pressing a button does scrolling instead itās impossible to get a pattern down like with a game pad. Have the timer with no option to turn it off is one the reasons I stopped following the franchise back in the day actually. I liked taking my time figuring it, and die very little as my personal play style. Like slow chess. You all made it where thatās not possible . Only speed chess then to add challenges to donāt add options, you take them away. If they just had the option š¤·š½āāļø. The rest is cool, and having timer for second run would be bonus way to play a second time too, oh well.
I was gonna work my way through series but the timer is to annoying for me . Reminded me why I stopped playing š
Oh grey tail turned in twice and did nit receive āreach ringā even though it said I did. Did not appear in inventory. Also,battle graphics manipulate battle timer and not in a good way =-/
But I would still do five stars if they just had the option to go āturn basedā in settings. That menu wait thing does not achieve the same thing. Can still have speed play factor for characters performance on turn based. Taking away options to make it more difficult is not creating for challenges it feels manipulative. That pre load commands is cool but then in after years the took it away š more taking away for challenges and that was lazy coding for sure. Itās the exact same game just reorganized and for challenge make it harder to choose actions š. They put asteroids hitting earth to block the entrances to parts of the game not used from old template. Could not even bother to put a tail in them. After years the game they rushed out for money, not content. You can see in tower of Babil I think unused floor from old game, blocked by mysterious powers. Lol even most old random town treasures in after years same from 4 š
Off to look for a game like dragon quest/warrior. Or play them all again š they got after game content thatās pretty cool š
If you all add turn base options to games let me know, Iāll work my way up to current š
Delighted

This is my second Final Fantasy game. I recently bought a backbone one for my phone. I love old games and this one had me hooked at the start. Highly recommend!
