    Final Fantasy IV is an old school retro JRPG, so for those wanting to scratch that proverbial itch, look no further.
    This is a great game, challenging in the traditional JRPG way. One minor gripe I have is that it is somewhat overpriced for what it is. This is simply a port of the 2008 remake for the Nintendo DS, with resolution enhancements. The same would apply to Final Fantasy VII /    Final Fantasy IV is an old school retro JRPG, so for those wanting to scratch that proverbial itch, look no further.
    This is a great game, challenging in the traditional JRPG way. One minor gripe I have is that it is somewhat overpriced for what it is. This is simply a port of the 2008 remake for the Nintendo DS, with resolution enhancements. The same would apply to Final Fantasy VII / VIII when they arrived on steam. Not that ports are bad things... In fact, more ( JRPG ) ports being brought to PC would be nice... ( quality traditional JRPGs are practically none existant on the PC platform ) just somewhat overpriced for a port... of a port.
    This is typical of Square Enix, milking it...
    Moving on - good points include complete Xbox 360 controller support ( I used wireless ), great nostalgic music and the fact that ( probably to the dismay of the so called "PC purists" ) you can relax on a couch and play it on a big screen with good resolution is a bonus. I don't particularly have any other complaints as I knew what I was buying.
    For anyone out there that has heard about this RPG but haven't had the chance, time or inclination to play it, look no further. If you're like me and you've played the DS remake and don't mind paying the money... again grab it. If you've played it already and don't want to shell out the cash you're not missing anything. ( Alternatively wait for it to be insanely discounted ).
    I'm going to give it an 8.5 / 10. Solid gameplay, both memorable music and characters with a top notch story that has aged remarkably well. As mentioned previously the fact that it challenges the player in ways not often seen these days only ads to the nostalgia.    … Expand

    It's not as good as the original or the sprite-based remakes, but I'm still giving it a 10 because its a refreshing, new way to experience this amazing game. It has voice acting, 3D model graphics and it's also way more challenging than the other versions. (This is a port of the mobile version, which is a port of the DS version.)

    Really good not only remake but game overall. Light, pleasant but addictive.
    The only eye-catching cons that I encounter was lack of Japanese VO during cutscenes. (English actors voice acting is very poor.)

    Really worth it for the beautiful story!
    I played the Steam Version and i really loved all the cut-scenes, skill animation music and voice acting.
    I wasn't grinding that much throughout the game, so I lacked EXP & optimal loot, and this my friends, turned the last 10 hours in an overwhelmingly difficult hell, trying to beat one single monster (not even a boss) for 1 hour straight, just    Really worth it for the beautiful story!

In the end I realized i'd be better off grinding for an hour with some tricks in a good spot and this made it possible to beat the game!!

    All in all a game with a really amazing story, hard and rewarding fights, i'd recommend grinding exp and gear when you hit the difficulty spikes in the endgame otherwise it'll be frustrating. Saying this we better do not forget this is one of the hardest games in the entire Final Fantasy franchise.

    Surely the best entry to start the series!    … Expand
