Final Fantasy 4 DS - Review

Yay! It's finally ready after a long, long, delay.

Now that I'm ready, I can finally decide exactly how good the Final Fantasy 4 DS remake is.

STORY:

The story is quite nice and original. You are the dark knight of the nation of Baron, named Cecil. You have carried out various missions for the king of Baron, when Cecil starts to get an impression that the king is somewhat evil, after he is ordered to take a sacred crystal from another nation, called Mysidia. You, as Cecil, then set out to redeem yourself from your past sins, and find out about the evil that is influencing the king. Excellent story, no complaints here.

STORY: 10/10 (Extremely epic)

GAMEPLAY:

The gameplay is pretty much like any other Final Fantasy game, or, for that matter, any other RPG. Turn based battles (Though with something of a real-time element), instanced battles in wild and monster filled areas (Meaning that monsters will jump out and attack you in the wild, like Pokemon), and everything else that makes a good RPG. The controls are really simple. Sometimes I feel that they overdid it with the amount of instanced battles, and sometimes the bosses take many, many attempts to defeat, due to the difficulty of the game.

GAMEPLAY: 9/10 (Quite epic)

MUSIC:

Really, this is the best music I've ever heard from a Nintendo DS.

MUSIC: 10/10 (Epic)

GRAPHICS:

When I watched the opening video, I was thinking "GRAPHICS: 100/10", but the actual in game graphics aren't as good as that. They are still epically good as long as you don't expect them to be anything like the opening sequence.

GRAPHICS: 9.5/10 (Really epic)

OVERALL:

The first thing I thought after completing this game was "THIS IS TEH MOST EPIC THING EVA!!!!"...

It is.

OVERALL: 9.75/10 (Very, very epic)
