[PSP] Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collections

Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection Arrives In The West This April [Update] // Siliconera


The complete collection of Final Fantasy 4 pops up on PSP in April. It will include The After Years and a new story linking both games.

Honestly, I'm pretty stoked. I never got around to finishing the DS version cause it was a bit brutal in terms of battles. (Level 70 in the Giant part after the Moon, and normal fights still kick my ass). Plus I've wanted to play After Years but didn't want to fiddle with trying to get it on VC.

Amazon has it for pre-order for an April 19th release with a fun little tidbit:

Bonus Features That Fans Demand: Original SNES soundtrack, an all-new intro movie and cinematic CGI sequences from previous release, and a monster encyclopedia that covers details of over 300 enemies are all included within the game.

That bit interests me. Which makes me wonder if you'll be able to choose which version's music you want to hear while playing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

While the 3D was a bit odd to get used to, the DS version wasn't too bad. It was just way overtuned in difficulty. Well, I felt that way at least when simple random battles felt like boss battles because the enemies would attack super fast. I may go back and try to complete it at some point.

The price surprised me as well, but I noticed on Gamestop's site that Dissidia 2 was reduced to $29.99 and I don't know if that's a permanent drop, or just a special deal. So maybe Square is dropping their PSP game prices? Or at least with the Final Fantasy titles?

I'm starting to have a little hope that Final Fantasy 6 will get the same treatment soon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Came out today. Picked this gem up. So far its kinda easy, which disappoints me a bit. I know I've bitched about the difficulty of the DS version and glad it isn't THAT hard, but still would have liked it to be a bit difficult like the GBA version was (not that that one was hard, but it wasn't easy like SNES). Anyways...

Option to have the original music playing instead of the arranged (big plus) would have been sweet if they had an option for original graphics .

After the cinematic you can choose what to play, either FF4, FF4 Interlude (the arc that combines the games) or FF After Years. Which is nifty, but I still started from the beginning.

Overall the game looks purdy and even though I've played 4 like a thousand times, always nice to play it again in a different look.

Anyone else get it today?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

and after further playing, the difficulty is really nice. The RNG system is a bit... odd though, as sometimes you can wander around for a minute or so and not come across a fight, other times you'll fight every fucking step. Also there were times where I just couldn't hit the enemy. Like I went 2 full rounds of people missing attacks. Brutal.

I'm actually pleased that it isn't as faceroll as I thought it would be from the beginning. Although I fucked myself out of 100% beastiary... again. All because I didn't attack Doctor Lugae when you first fight him and I stayed strictly on Balnab.

I'm having fun and can't wait to start in on the other two chapters.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

FF1 on NES was beastly, because you only had up to 9 spells you could cast for each spell rank, I believe (unless it was 9 total, it has been quite a while since I played that).

Well, it began out easy, like SNES easy. Then when I got to the Underworld and entered the Sylvan cave, it was like I got punched in the face. I'm actually having to grind out more levels before attempting my way through that and the Feymarch. The stuff beyond is going to be fun. :3

I was speaking idiomatically.

I heard Interlude should have been a bit better. I'll find out soon. Still grinding to do those damn caves.

Also I lol'd at a conversation blurb in the game. In Fabul, after the ruckus, I talked to the bar guy in one of the towers and he was like "Now that was a fight of extraordinary magnitude." Oooh Fistful of Yen you.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
