As this is my favorite game of all time. I can not believe it. I woke up today with a text from a friend about this news. Rydia, I bet you are excited, along with all of the many FFIV fans we have here on this board!!!!


THANK GOD!!!!

damn, beat me to it.

While this isnt my favorite FF in the series I do have high hopes because it was something I was satisfied with, I hope for some more extras (the wifi-dealy with III).

With this being said, will SE keep on the ball and remake V? I dont believe IV needs to be touched, or anything after.

I honestly hope they put FFV and VI 3d on DS.

I CAN"T WAIT FOR THIS GAME LOL, as I listen to the FFIV ost.

Heh, what makes you think they won't? I wouldn't be surprised if they go all the way up to IX. Like Andrew here, folks are already waiting on the inevitable FFVI DS remake.

Cool. Now I can play it without the bugginess of the GBA version, or so I've been told. I have yet to play FFIII still though. I have it, but haven't touched it in ages.

Am I the only one who finds the sprite-work more charming though? I couldn't possibly imagine FFVI in 3D...I'll stick to the GBA port.

Not at all. Look at Cecil's curvy figure, his hips, his chest - he looks like a fucking woman, and not in your typical bishounen way.

I wasn't expecting this, so it's a nice surprise. =p I actually thought FFVI would have a 3D remake before FFIV since it seems a little more popular than the latter. Those screens look good so far though.

Surprise to me too o__O I like FFIII's 3D remake. Maybe this'll do nicely, hmm? ;3 The re-translation for the GBA version was very nice, so I hope it carries over to this.

You guys are missing the bigger picture.

3D Tellah.

My money is as good as gone.

Fascination with older men?...

Eleo? =(

Wow. I thought I was the only one!

Not another remake!? At least it's 3D, so it had better be laboriously detailed.
Thus, in addition to 3D Tellah, we should: get to whale away on the 3D version of Calbrena, witness the awesomeness of twin magic, see pumped up Rydia summons, etc.

They can only remake it so many times over to steal my money, so I'll just content myself with videos.

So Square has gone and caught the George Lucas bug, endlessly remaking their past hits and setting up a permanent camp in our wallets.

I for one am not biting. I'm a fan, yes, but the spritely version is good enough. It also helps that I do not own a DS :)

Funny, I had considered buying the actual game of FFVI Advanced, but now with this 3D Remake of IV being made, I'm not even going to bother (And I mean actually getting the physical game as opposed to a ROM).

Well, I'm glad I never bought any of the previous versions of the game. The only other good that could come out of this would be later on, a DS 3d Chrono Trigger.

Dear lord no. Tellah is just one of, if not the, greatest characters that has spawned from a Final Fantasy game.

At this rate, I'm going to ignore all the GBA releases and just wait for Square to cave and give us the FF6 remake we all wanted.

And this may give me an incentive to actually play this title.

I want this and I'll want the FFVI 3D remake for DS when it comes out, too. For some reason, I'm thinking they might wait a few years and do a serious graphical update for VI and release it for PS3 or something like that, though. I don't mind having already bought FFVI Advance since that game's 2D graphics have a charm of their own and a lot of nostalgia for me.

What I really want is a sprite version of FFVIII for the DS. Now wouldn't that be grand. FFXII RW's sprites look great from what I've seen of it, so other games should get the same treatment.

*glances at the JPN only DS version of Xenosaga I and II*

I like this one a lot. Since I had the chance to pick it up for the GBA, this probably had one of the better storylines in the FF series...

I'll probably be more interested in it if they could toss in some GBA Extras to the DS version, like weapons you could only unlock if you have the GBA version in Slot 2 or something. Give us something nice so this isn't just another boring remake of the game because you neglected to fix it in the five other versions you release.

Hmm...I wouldn't mind. Final Fantasy IV isn't my favorite Final Fantasy (but it's damn close) Final Fantasy III though...I suppose the graphics and art style was good, but the actual game of Final Fantasy III, IMO, was definitely shortlived. I bought the game only because it didn't come out here originally, and it feels like a return to Final Fantasy I after the train wreck that was Final Fantasy II. Some people might like Final Fantasy II (That's FF2j) but I hated it with a passion. Final Fantasy III felt like a reactionary decision back to Final Fantasy I, but was overshot. I didn't like Final Fantasy III that much.

But back to the point. Final Fantasy IV is a good game, so I'll probably end up picking this up because of the FF Fanboy in me.

That would be amazing. Update the music so that it's orchestrated would be great.

Why would they do that? These remakes are basically licenses to print money, and now that they've got the engine going, I'm sure it won't take much effort* to just churn out remakes of the next two for the DS. If they're going to milk this shit THAT much, and if the general consensus among idiot gamers is to keep buying this shit (as it seems to be, judging by responses to this news here and elsewhere), it'd be stupid for them not to.

* Compared to a PS3 port

They might choose not to release a DS remake because it would create even more demand for a PS3 remake. Many of us idiots probably would buy both pieces of shit, though, as you so gracefully pointed out.

To be fair, the Advanced versions weren't really "remakes" rather than just ports with a few little bonuses. A fullblown remake is another story entirely.

Honestly though, FFIV doesn't have as much potential for a remake as FFIII did. At least FFIII had the whole job system thing they could rework the mechanics for. In FFIV, everyone learns abilities naturally when they reach the right level. Not much you can change there.

As you can see, I'm not too hyped for this one myself. Never was a fan of the original and I don't see it getting much more than a graphic overhaul. Though if they do find new ways to improve it, it might be worth a shot. We'll see.
