    Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster is a stunning update that sings with the bells and whistles of a more modern pixel rendering style. Hindered only by bad font and a small technical issue this is an experience Final Fantasy fans need to have. The story of Cecil is easy to get sucked into, it is backed by some insanely sublime music and the gameplay is a joy, even if it is dated. Only a fool would pass this up!

This one has widescreen, nice art, and *most* of the new tracks are good (though you can barely hear the bassline for the main battle theme, and you can barely hear the snare in the Red Wings theme), but they SIGNIFICANTLY dumbed this version down. Half xp level requirements, half the encounter rate, and a treasure map, though I guess a lot of people would play this with a guide anyway, these three changes seem like SE wanted to hand the game to people. After decades of people complaining the SNES version is too easy and people preferring harder versions, SE does this release and makes it the easiest one ever. What the hell were they thinking? They should of at least had a difficulty option, maybe mods will fix it, but frankly not having to earn your stats does not give me the same sense of attachment to the game I have for other versions.… Full Review »

But the best part is the story, really fine stuff! I recommend if you haven't played Final Fantasy IV.… Full Review »

This pixel remaster is quite faithful with a few improvements for quality of life. I would strongly recommend starting the series here. There is also a 3d remake which is voice acted in some areas if that is more your speed. Definitely give this one a try.… Full Review »
