Oh boy, I can't believe I almost overlooked this thread.

I love FFIV; it's probably my 4th favorite after VI, XII and IX. But I just bought it for the GBA ;__; I know that it's pretty buggy and all, but unless the 3D version provides a LOT of good extras or something really special, I probably won't get it.

3D FFVI is crucial, however. Crucial. I will buy VI 20 times if I have to. :(

Trailer is now up at the official site. Click on the Square Enix Party icon! :)
Spoiler:
Gorgeous FMVs and voice-acting. :tpg:

What's the piano track that's playing in the background of the site? I really like it.

Sousuke May 30, 2007 09:59 AM

Hahaa... The 'Special Trairer' [I wonder if anyone else noticed that?] didn't show anything gameplay related. Just a bunch of FMV sequences with a voiceover, rambling about crystals.

It's an excerpt of the Piano arrangement of "Theme of Love", taken directly from the "Final Fantasy IV Piano Collections" album.

For what concerns this project, I must say I have mixed sensations.
While I'm intrigued by the expanded script they intend to unveil, I've always loved the particularly rudimental sprites of the original. You know, it's like that original 2D engine led the player to conceive the scenes in a very personal and intimate way everytime. The third dimension makes everything a little too... explicit, if you get what I mean.
Anyway, it's pretty likely that I'll end up buying this title too, just to see how the remade story unfolds.

wvlfpvp May 30, 2007 10:24 AM

You know, I love the spritely as much as the next guy, but, hey, I'm a faggot for this kinda thing. Plus I've avoided buying any of the rereleases, anyway, so now would be a good time for me to actually own the game.

The first is "Theme of Love" from the "Piano Collections FINAL FANTASY IV" album. The second could either be from that, from "Orchestral Game Music Concert 1" or some other VGM concert.

EDIT: Duh... Too late.

Golfdish from Hell May 30, 2007 10:27 AM

One-Forth...Okay, now I'm interested. I always figured there had to be more to the whole Kain thing.

wvlfpvp May 30, 2007 10:32 AM

So this is 25% of the story that JAPAN got, not just the US, right?

Yes. Seems that they had to reduce the volume of the plot, due to time and especially cartridge memory constraints.
Though the doubt remains on whether or not it's all but a marketing ploy...

I'm especially curious about how that will translate in terms of character and scenario development.

Andrew Evenstar May 30, 2007 11:46 AM

OMG!!! Awesome lol. The most important thing there was the 2007 release date. The whole battle outside the tower FMV vid was awesome!!

No. Hard Pass. May 30, 2007 04:31 PM

25% of the story? Sounds like a lot of bullshit to me.

The Plane Is A Tiger May 30, 2007 05:00 PM

Provided that this other 75% no one has ever heard about is good, I don't really care if it's marketing bullshit or not (which I'm sure it is, at least some). Who knows, maybe now Rosa won't be a completely unlikable ditz!

The new trailer makes me wonder if they plan to include many FMV sequences in-game rather than just an opening movie like FF III had. The first part is Cecil and Rosa discussing him travelling to Mysidia, and that's not really opening movie material unless it's a very extended opening.

Kairi Li May 30, 2007 09:09 PM

On the official site, it seems that they are looking for singers, amatuer or pro, to sing theme of love.

Can anyone translated the requirements and information? I kinda wanna see if I have a shot. :P

I would like to see a Shadow Hearts game or something similar on DS that's more "grown-up," but that is unlikely due to the total, complete kiddie nature of the DS. Probably more likely to see SH on PSP than DS I'm afraid...

FF IV is fine, but why can't Squeenix make some original titles? At least they are working on that FFXII spin-off...

Forsety Jun 10, 2007 05:27 AM

I don't really think a spinoff of another game really counts much towards 'original title' material, either. Still, as long as the games are good I guess that's all that really matters. I've always had a soft spot for FFIV anyway, so this is exciting regardless. The visual design of the game looks a bit weird (like a overly anorexic RS:Minstrel Song) but I doubt it will bother me when I'm actually playing the game.

Good grief, those super deformed characters look really silly. It was ugly and vaguely creepy in Romancing Saga, and it's not working here. Cutesy marionettes do not lend themselves well to serious storytelling.

The idea of an expanded remake sounds intriguing, and it'd be nice to see some of the obvious dangling plot threads resolved. But man, the visual style is seriously off-putting. I just can't take the romance sub-plot seriously if Cecil and Rosa look like Precious Moments figurines.

The Plane Is A Tiger Aug 21, 2007 08:49 AM

I dunno, I kinda like the designs. Rydia's hair is too jagged, but other than that I think they look pretty good. Cecil's paladin form is especially nice since his hair's not purple and he isn't wearing an absurd amount of makeup, unlike his CG counterpart.

III DS had similar character designs. It's seriously easier to get used to than one would think.

And it's a hell of a lot better than the soulless disturbingness of those models for Romancing SaGa.

Tankalex_Storm Aug 21, 2007 07:21 PM

Wow, I can honestly say that I didn't see this coming. I can't wait for this!!

Forsety Aug 22, 2007 03:11 AM

I like the models. Like a decent mix of RS (I never had too many issues with them honestly...) and FF3 DS. It'll look fine on a small DS screen at any rate. Rosa looks cute.

Rock Aug 22, 2007 06:32 AM

The models are perfectly fine. You'll get used to them in no time and the overall art direction is absolutely fitting. If they manage to tweak the minor annoyances of Final Fantasy III DS, this is going to be an amazing remake. Can't wait for the inevitable Final Fantasy V and VI ones.

OmagnusPrime Aug 22, 2007 06:47 AM

Personally I really enjoyed the FFIII remake on the DS and so naturally I'll be looking forward to this. The fact that they're updating/tweaking the story justy adds further to that. It's definitely looking promising, so one to watch.
