Final Fantasy IV: The complete collection - PSP - GR review

5:43 AM Posted by Mario Galarza


Final Fantasy IV is over the years as popular been, apparently, that they needed thought Square-Enix to, expand notable characters tell the stories of the original after their first adventure. I fail to understand why, which is necessary, but hell, it was one of the biggest games in history. Why not give SE, chance based on it? After all was a review of the events before the Final Fantasy Vii, Crisis Core so that a look not so bad either.

The years showed her is not too long on WiiWare while interlude was a band-in Japan-only phone. It's cool that this tie-in the the classic look treatment (both use the same assets used to IV) gave been, but they are always still only slightly higher quality than dem… twenty years before. Classic lover even though I am, I was hoping for more of a face lift. The music is not even known; While I hear it in some places, I not went back to my mp3s of the original melodies more than often.

Interlude is new for American players, and there is a reason, it was ported not here earlier: it is a left-over short and disappointing. Play the same character with the same spells as well as starting at level 30, cries out "cash in". It's cool, new material, the TAY but it about having is not much of a connecting point, and I have yet to hear, actually continue the storyline interest further someone.

As for TAYnothing inspires me. Finally, it is exactly same world - again - and with each character instead of the old team. Because it is divided into smaller stories, each character gets at least some time to be fleshed out, but only a few of them are interesting enough to take care of. The biggest disappointment, however is that it feels are thrown together in the interest of which together thrown; most of the known characters are simple with unnamed figures in their respective chapters. Edward gets some guards literally called A, B and C guard, guard guard Ceodore, Cecil and Rosa's son, struggles with the renowned casters known as white Mage and black Mage. You are all just filler, so that the team is slightly longer (if ever) balanced.

This compared to a re-release as Lunar: Silver Star harmony, IV is simply not up to snuff, and - even more say - comparison with even with the DS remake is a joke. Instead of Botox, it is rubbed cream in some drug store knockoff. Appearances are important revivals like this, and SE has a great Rep when it comes to beautiful thing, but the ball was not only here was - it is at a different stage. It a gallery of images to sketches from the original design team and play TAYunlock, like you, with some character, but it is only a few beautiful images with no stories or slightly behind them.

IV is still the same ol' ' game as classic and can be played as ever and ever, but expect you pay again (along with the joke), which is after years interlude and the random SE is downright greedy. You do not nothing really new with this one, in contrast to the 3D remake for the DS. Added a bit of Polish to the world, but it is less like a Pro a car polishing and more like someone is MOM spit in a website a smudge your child face clean. I hate the stuff, mind you say; Final Fantasy IV is really one of the greatest games of all time, the most influential game of the genre RPG, and it is probably still fully playable today. Just know that absolutely nothing new on the table here is brought.
