[DS] Final Fantasy IV 3D DS

Such a cool video! Seems like I get more excited about the game the more I read about it.

Y'now, for a "love song", that theme really is kinda melancholy, but it really fits the tone of the game. The schism between Kain and Cecil was always one of my favorite parts of the story, and I hope the new script does a good job with it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well I have a gut feeling that this'll do a damn fine job of showing Kain's crush on Rosa. The childhood flashback in the video shows Kain about to pop Cecil in the face, but Rosa shows up and Kain is all "NAW NOTHIN' GOING ON HERE "

I always wanted the game to develop Kain more... =o Most of the characters have some backstory to them. Kain? Well, he knew Cecil before the game started. Then he is converted by Golbeze. Figured there was room for loads of character development there.

Also, in the screen caps a page back, the guillotine over Rosa seems odd... How is it supposed to kill her if she's suspended *vertically*? =o THE BOULDER MAKES MORE SENSE NOW YES?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This game back in the day, is what got me playing RPGS. I'm getting a DS(xmas) just for this game and a couple others.. but man, I cant wait.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If anyone is interested, I saw these.

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

You're quite late on those.

Deni already bought them and has pictures up. They look quite good. Maybe he'll post them in this thread for all to see.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm glad to see they all look good except for Rosa since she's the one character I don't give a damn about. Mine shipped on the 10th, so they should be here any day.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So far the game is awesome. Opening CG gave me chills. Also, I love the new music for the town theme. Baron, the city, is gorgeous.

The auto-battle is useful, as well as the menu shortcuts to items. The world map so far is well done... The map on the bottom of the screen is good too.

I love it.

FELIPE NO

I'll have to remember to buy the Accessory Kit when it comes out in two days or so.

Must have fun-sized Rydia screen cleaner.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, so far, the game is terrific. It looks better than FFIII AND runs smoother. It's also quite a bit harder. Normal enemies take away more damage (even though there's slightly less of them) and the Mist Dragon is pretty nasty. I don't remember ever having to level up on this boss (even less so on the GBA version).

How ya doing, buddy?

Wait, it's in stores?
My game shop told me it wsn't out till the 20th (like the commercials say).

Or do you be pirating?

Screen cleaner? I just saw a Rydia cell phone key chain thing.

It's a screen cleaner.

You wipe the DS screen with her backside. You can also use it as a cell phone strap though! No one says she has to be purely on your DS (in fact some people even put them on their cell phones to clean the screens on those too).

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

Oh I see. Hell yes. I'll clean my DS with her Fine booty.

Some of the arranged tracks are very good ("Mystic Mysidia" now uses much more realistic instrumentation, for example, similar to the Celtic Moon version), but "Mt. Ordeals" got killed. It used to be one of my favourite FFIV compositions, and Nakano and Fukui got rid of all the good and moving chords and replaced them with boring ones.

I uploaded three preview tracks for anyone who'd like to have a small insight in the arrangements.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Downloaded the JP version and played for a while. The vocal cutscenes have subtitles, so an undub is a very real thing to pull off =D The voice actors are awesome, and I'm very impressed. Wish I could read Japanese text, though, because lots of menu things confuse me.

One gripe though -- they're sticking with the "newer" Moogle design. There was a moogle for some reason that I talked to en route to Cecil's bedroom (for the Cecil-Rosa cutscene), and it had the long stupid rabbit-ears. Why did they drop the old design? Whenever I think of a moogle, I imagine the ones that I saw in, like, FFVI and stuff.

Ordeals was one of my favorites...

Auto-Battle makes me both happy and sad. Happy because I can be lazy and sad because... I can be lazy!

In other news, my FF4 accessory kit shipped today, I wonder when it'll arrive...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

where did you guys ordered the accessory kit? I saw it on playasia I was going to get it there, but I just want to know if there's other place to check before ordering it

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Speaking of music tracks. The full soundtrack will hit the streets of Japan on January 30. Which's a week behind Lost Odyssey's soundtrack.

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

For those playing the game via flashcart someone at gbatemp.net is working on a translation patch... everything except the dialogs/story. They should have something ready in a couple of days.

And yes, the game's awesome... except for some "arranged" music track like mention a couple post above. :/

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

Speaking of translation. Totally had to reload to an earlier save because I was dumb and didn't double check the Decant I used on Cecil.

I don't want him to sing =(

How ya doing, buddy?

Buh? There weren't ever any moogles in FF4. I guess if they're just gratuitously adding them in, they can look like whatever Squeenix wants, I suppose.

Which gives me misgivings about the game, if they're going above and beyond just doing a modernized remake.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Actually, those 'moogles' might be the Namingways. They could have re-designed them to be more rabbit-like to fit in with the whole Tsuki Usagi story; they do live on the moon after all. I haven't played it yet, but that would make sense.

FELIPE NO

That's the only thing I can think of. There were no moogles in FF4 but I do remember you can talk to Namingway reasonably early on.
