Yes, Gech is talking about our beloved Namingway, now renamed to Mappingway and Damingway.

Deals with maps and camping now.

Whew~ =o Thought it was the new fucked up Moogle form. And I didn't remember those fellows appearing in Baron Castle...

Well you get rewards for 100% maps now so I guess they wanted to dump them on you earlier.

Oh God :( The music for Mt. Hobbs / Ordeals has been absolutely destroyed :(

So freakin' what? I mean the game itself looks really cool.

low quality? or just a different tune?

As someone who enjoyed even the Celtic Moon remixes, I see no issues with any of the remixed songs in the game.

I'm actually somewhat not surprised by the "new scenes" they added, especially when a lot of them were created just so the cell phone sequel could make sense.

lol I knew that '60% of the plot content never got put in' figure was pure fiction.

Tokita still insists 60% of the plot never got put in. However he never stated he would put all 60% into the game.

Yeah most of it is just dumb.

Different sounds/instruments. It just sounds bad.

If it sounds bad? So what, dude. For me I don't buy games because they have arranged music scores or added features. Because if you were to buy a game and all you cared for is it's new features (arranged music, graphics etc...). Then you'd be overal wasting your money and time.

In Nintendo DS, stuff like these are gonna happen. Like when also Square Enix continues the trend with Final Fantasy V then on to Final Fantasy VI. You just have to learn to accept the fact that things aren't gonna be the same as they were in days of old FF games. Even the PSP version of FFI & II has enhanced features as well.

Umm I love the game, I just dislike a song. Relax dude. Also this is my all time favorite game in history and been playing it frequently ever since I was 7 or so. I accept things will be different, however that was one of my all time favorite songs.

I've been thinking about playing FFIV for so long, as a lot of people say this is one of the best games in the series. But I started playing with FFVII (at age 13, when I could fully read an english story based game) so I unfortunatly overlooked the old ones.

After becaming a FF Fan I thought I should play at least FFIV and FFVI, so I started with FFVI and now SquareEnix gives us this marvelous present. At least for me, who was a lot reluctant to play the old one.

Anyway, I was thinking about a year about buying a DS ... This game just made now perfectly clear to me that I need one ASAP !

I played the old FFIV on PS1 just this past summer and it was a pretty good game. At least it wasn't like XII where I got confused and turned the damn thing off after 10 minutes. It's the only pre-FF7 Final Fantasy that I've played (I started working on number 1 for the NES but I haven't gotten very far). I'm excited about this game except for one problem: there's still no release date for the US. :(

There hasn't been a release date announced for this game yet, has there?

I also have to wonder if they have Final Fantasy V and VI in the making for the DS as well.

I should post every week moaning about how there hasn't been a release date yet. I mean, seeing a post in this thread doesn't get anybody's hopes up about there actually having been an American date announced at all!




Seriously.



No :sarcasm: here.



Oh, and I should continue to make speculation about there being a 5 & 6 remake.




I'LL BRING NOTHING TO THE TABLE.

...I'm almost afraid to ask a question now. XD

Anyway, I don't know if this has been brought up before, but, I'm too lazy to look. Could someone tell me, what if the diffculty of the DS version? Is it closer to the GBA version, or the SNES version, or the SFC version, or whatever other versions are out there? If it does get a US release, I want to see if the difficulty is worth my money.

I heard it was MUCH more difficult. Something like Bosses would wipe the floor with you if you didn't pick up on their patterns quickly (i.e. not attacking a boss that hides in it's shell).

Oooo, very nice. My interest for the game is piqued now. I thought they would have dumbed the diffculty, like the GBA version. I'm glad they didn't.

I thought the bosses were quite challenging to begin with in the original. Maybe I was just under-leveled but I remember quite a few bosses that were truly difficult battles (EvilWall being the one that pops into my head.) But if it's even more challenging, I'm looking forward to this. I think recent games have gone down in difficulty, relatively speaking. I enjoy a good challenge. ^.^

I can also recall IV being very difficult from time to time, as well as some dungeons being close to hellish. I remember that tower, was it in the underworld? Good god.

Evilwall FUCK.

That name makes me break out into a sweat whenever it's mentioned.

Gah, you had to mention the frigging EvilWall. I think that's the boss where I'd come full stop and grind for a while until Rydia learned Virus, just so I'd have enough firepower to kill it in time.

I never had a HUGE problem with EvilWall . . . but then I was the tard who always Beserk'd Cecil.

Good that the game won't be made easier. My first experience with FFIV was on the more difficult version. I recall going through the last half of a dungeon without any healing items, MP of 0 for all characters who could use magic, and everyone's HP at about 100 (max at that point of the game was 3000 or so), and no cabin/tents or a save point in sight.
