 Too Brilliant To Handle! November 25, 2008
Mr. C. D. Welham (Essex, England)
The good points of this game are:
1. Voiced cut scenes.
2. Bosses take skill and strategy.
3. Lovely background music.
4. Beautiful graphics.
5. Amazingly gripping storyline.
6. Long lasting, but not too long lasting storyline.
7. Challenging.
There is only one bad thing about this game, it may be a bit to challenging.
So don't buy this game if your looking for a pushover.
If your looking for an amazing and challenging game then this is for you.
Great fun :D November 16, 2008

I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy games, and, unlike Final Fantasy 3, this one did not disappoint.
Final Fantasy 7 was, in my opinion, one of the best ones, and if you liked that, you'll like this. The battle system is very similar, as are the graphics.
The best aspect of this game is the boss battles. They usually have some kind of quirk to them, which makes you really have to think and develop a strategy. I've played quite a few RPG's on the DS, and I felt a lot of them you could get through just by constantly attacking. Not here!
The new cut scenes added for the DS were really nice, if just a little cheesy in places, but i feel this just added to the experience.
To level up your Eidolons (summons), you play mini games using the touch screen and stylus. I found these fun and sometimes challenging (but hopefully you're better at maths than me!).
Of course, a Final Fantasy game on a handheld is never going to be as in depth as a home console, so if you're looking for another FFX, don't get your hopes up.
 A completely ruined experience October 5, 2008

I did enjoy this game a lot, just like I did Final Fantasy III. But only half of it. The reson for the one star is that this game contains the worst error a game can have: An almost impossible to beat boss directly after a very long cut-scene that can not be skipped and with no save point.
Now, I don't mind a challenge, and fighting the same boss a few times in order to get i right is just fine. But not when I have to watch the same cut-scene for fifteen minutes while having to press the same button over and over in order for the daft conversation to progress (you can skip about 30 secs. of the cut-scene). So after 8-10 tries, this game was put in a drawer where it will stay. No more Final Fantasy for me.
Classic RPG fun September 28, 2008

One of my favorite games of all time is Final Fantasy IIV. When the remake of Final Fantasy III came out i gave it a try as i own a DS and have never played any FF games befor VII. Fianl Fantasy III was pretty good.
Final Fantasy IV however is in my opinion an amazing game for the DS its been handled with care and attention. The story is not as dramatic as todays standards of story telling in games but still its fun and has a classic feel to it. Graphics are very nice for the DS with some fully voiced cut scenes that help bring the characters to life which there are many and most are really cool (find out for your self).
I am about 30 hours in to the game and still have few things to do, i should also mention that this game is though but as long as you spend time to level up you will be fine.
I have the force unleashed for my 360 sitting on a shelf but that can wait until i fininsh this, choosing my DS over my 360? This game must be good.
If you like Final Fantasy you will love if you dont maybe you should try this.
I hope they foloow up with some more remakes i would love to try V and VI and maybe one day square might give the world what it wants Final Fantasy VII the remake?
I can't recommended it enough! September 27, 2008

I've been a final fantasy fan for 2 years now and I haven't been dissapointed with one of their games to date, and this is no exception.
This game is an awesome remake of a twenty year old game and is now one of my personal favourates.
I'ts a little harder than the old one, but this doesn't matter because you'll be hooked on it for ages, with over 30 hours of slick, brilliant gameplay.
The storyline is phenomenal, the gameplay is addictive and the boss battles are actually quite stategic, and the fully voiced cut scenes just add to excitment. Overall this is an amazing game. Highly recommended.
