Well here's one rumor that got confirmed pretty damn quickly. A reader sent us in a scan from Japanese magazine Shonen Jump, confirming that a Final Fantasy IV (2 stateside) 3D remake is in the works for the DS.



I know I should be impressed by Cecil's new 3D look, but it's giving me this odd sort of Viewtiful Joe vibe. Honestly I don't think this game needed to be remade. It was perfect as it was and this...this just feels wrong. Like meeting a cute young girl who sounds exactly like your grandmother when she talks. Disturbing. Michael Fahey

Thanks for the scan Riyu!

i like the game before and i like the game now

ya, i also think that the gba one is perfect edy, i would rather see them remake dq 4, 5 and 6 or star ocean but star ocean is going to psp..........

but ff4's storyline is um.... not really tat nice? =\

among all the FF, my fav Cerita Garis would still be FF7.

I hope they'll remake it 1 day...

Rise of the Machines lol.

Celes' opera performance will be mind blowing in 3-d.

Rise of the Machine?

that's deng~ deng~ deng~ deng-deng! T3!!!

are you kidding? the story is nice,but i hope the characters that die during the game REALLY die until the end.like that more drama

FF4 DS... not FF1V =6 ....

This post has been edited by hafez13: May 11 2007, 12:19 PM

um... IV = 4

ops.. my bad
anyways,i don want to buy advance
want to buy DS version

i still like VI... very nice.... pic and story...

me is FF noob never really played from FF1-6 until finish..
only played from FF7 till FF9 on PSOne...
so is FF 4 storyline as epic as those from FF7 onwards or just kinda like FF3? to me, i think FF3 storyline a bit too straightforward and predictable...

FFI - V have pretty much basic stories, good versus evil. FFIV is an improvement over FFIII though, the story is definitely better.

I liked IV, but yeah, I wished they did VI instead. Or even V. But I sure as hell wouldn't pass up the chance to see the misadventures of Palom and Porom again

i wonder how long will they take to remake this game? if it takes around 1 year, maybe they will only remake ff4?

FF4 is definitely not as epic as FF7

FFVI is the most epic FF ever, with performance from our most favourite villian, Kefka!

I want my FFIX for DS >_>

(Yea, it's not likely to happen but bleh )

ff5 & ff6 will definitely coming out. so for those who r playing d gba version now can stop playing d, wait 4 d DS version. Yahoo

I dun think u can be so sure of it since remaking every ff game is very time consuming. plus even they will be remade, u can always play gba version first since some would like to experience the 2d version. not everything in 3d must be good.

My gf was playing FF6 on the gba, but she ditch it (for the time being) for Pokemon DS lol

I don't think they will remake FFIX .. but hopefully they will port it over. Im actually replaying it on my ps2 now haha

got news on FF4DS??

Someone is very impatient.

..... i should not said about pokemon...
anyways i will make a thread about FF4 ...
this is and anoucement nota FF4 thread.. so i make 1

There is no real need for it when this thread IS about FF4.

Bah why must it always be either 1, 2 and 4.
I want a 6...

hmm.. 6 realy syok?
better try

yup, tried SNES version of FF6
very very nice ...
dono got remake or not ..

got remake of FF6 on GBA [I think ]

Yeap yeap FF6 is on the GBA. Can go pick it up since NDS supports GBA cartridges

so....
any news about FF4?

not really. but u could do some research

tried.. and only found videos...

if this news true.. i will buy NDS... DS here i um..

It is true Samurai There are screens floating around for sometime now.

i more prefer they remake FF6.....one of the best RPG in my SFC gameplay life...

FF4... FTW!!!!

whoa... i think i will pokai again.. dammit square why maa.. u release lot of FF.. this year.. FF7:CC lagi.. must but PSP.. for that game.. ...

samurai buy... yeah more ppl to get this game

AGREE
Best FF game EVER!!!

Just get Final Fantasy VI Advance. I love the music player function in it.

i think ff6 is kinda overrated edy. i played it and i dun find myself to enjoy the storyline at all. i prefer ff4 more.

Terra used Trance
Terra used Ultima on Biddy
Terra used Ultima on Biddy (doublecast)
Gogo copies what Terra have done.

FF 6 is overated..??? U mean FF7
FF6 was 1 of the best SNES games I ever played...
I assume you didnt play the original version on the Super Nintendo...

haha, tat is my personal opinion lo.

never played snes version b4, so judging from gba version.
indeed, ff4 is more fun than ff6 imho. at least i manage to complete ff4 and i am kinda surprised by the story. ff6 leh.... the story is predictable, battle system is less fun than i tot and quite imbalanced, yet to complete it...

w00t japanese version is already out !

yeah but i not able to play it ler
sob sob

English version will be released in 2008, right?

usa version has not been announced yet but i think shud be spring 2008.

Thanks for the information.

has any1 played the Jap version? how was it?

very good love it and the voice acting is top notch better than ff3 remake(which dont have voice acting) overall i give it 9/10 the only cons it have is the game is hard compare to none remake ff4.....

The game looks pretty good, the voice works are nice, the musics are much better and there's a vocalized theme song. The cut-scence are very well done too, very good presentation and yes, it is also pretty hard especially in the later part of the game, I have been KO'ed so many times in this compared to other FF.

DS FF3 is for novice and FF4 for old timer rpg player which dont mind spending countless hours just for level up your character.....

is there any CGI cut scenes in between the game or just the beginning part only?
FF3 only have them in the beginning which sucks... even ending also dun have...

hmm...got some nice reviews here. maybe I'll give this game a try then

w00t! new (maybe?) info!




got this email from square. guess better start saving for this wonderful game now

Final Fantasy IV (US Version) Reviews

* GamePro (95/100) says the game is still an epic experience: "Ultimately, Final Fantasy IV remains the same epic experience it was seventeen years ago, and the DS's improvements are a welcome treat for fans of the series and newcomers to the franchise alike. With an engrossing story, ambitious characters, and challenging yet rewarding gameplay, I can't help but recommend Final Fantasy IV as a worthwhile purchase, especially if you missed it the first time around. Even if you aren't a huge Final Fantasy fan, this is still one fantastic role-playing title worth checking out."

* Gamespot (90/100) thinks the game is great, despite some minor issues with the voice work: "Although it has been rereleased several times throughout the years, this full remake of one of the most celebrated stories in video game history is in many ways more poignant and impressive than it was all those years ago, despite minor irks with the voice acting. With a cast of memorable characters and villains, a more accurate and authentic translation, a new skill-customization system, and a few important new story elements that help to better explain key plot points, this is the definitive version of Final Fantasy IV that everyone should experience."

* IGN (87/100) is of the mind that FFIV is quite impressive: "It's a rush in the most traditional way, and it's an RPG that makes you feel for your characters, fight for every level, and strategize before battles in ways new role-playing games don't bother to do anymore. For fans, FFIV is an impressive resurrection to an awesome, pioneering RPG. For newcomers, you're about to get a lesson in "hardcore gaming 101," but if you put in the time, and put up with the difficulty, you'll have a chance to really "get" what Final Fantasy is all about."

* 1UP (75/100) scored the game the lowest of this bunch: "It's not a bad little game -- it is, after all, an upgraded version of a 16-bit masterpiece -- but it's needlessly redundant for anyone who picked up FFIV Advance. Of course, die-hard Final Fantasy fans will want to test their mettle against the crazy-hard new difficulty level while checking out the new voices for old favorites: Cecil is appropriately wussy, Kain sounds as tough as you'd expect, and Golbez now sounds like Darth Vader instead of just looking like him. But everyone else might want to wait it out a few years for that inevitable, definitive next-gen remake. When it comes to Square Enix, what goes around comes around. And around. And around."

Xplay review!!

Yet to play FF III, wonder it will be worthwhile to get this FF IV.

is there any continuation of the story ?

This post has been edited by bose00: Jul 23 2008, 11:55 PM

Both games are totally unrelated in term of story, FF3 hardly has any plot at all but FF4 is very epic, highly recommended.

The voice-over is pretty good in the trailer even though Kain sounds like an old hag, feel like replaying the english version. :\

ff IV should be good if my gba is the indication. but dun get ff3. it pales in comparison to my ff IV advance.

FF3 DS is not that bad. Art & music direction is pretty good.
Story is pretty much straight forward with loads of grinding.
Considering the source is a japanese 1990 famicom game that was never release in English before.
Give it a try, FF fans.

Play FFIV for the story =)

Now the NDS version is out, play it for the extra visuals + music


F*** YEAH DRAGOON

hehe, it is hard for me to get into ff3 since the previous ff that i played were all gba versions,which means near to zero loading time and make grinding much faster. ff3 on the other hand has some serious loading problem and it really compromises the whole experience. I guess the trade off of pretty graphics is unbearable loading time.

9.0 at gamespot..
nice!
i told u all that this game is fckin epic!!

This game is hard...T_T
I hv to lvl up many times just to survive T_T

should i give FF III DS a go before playing this epic FF IV? random encounter suxxor so just want to save time if FF III not worth to play compare to FF IV...

FF3 does have something different then IV but it is also pretty bland compare to IV in term of storyline. I will absolutely try to play it if I have the time, if not then I will only play FFIV. Considering I've played the original FFIII long ago, I wouldn't mind skipping the NDS version

And also, FFIV is HARD. The nds version might tune down the difficulty but if you have ever played the original version with HARD mode, you really need to use every opportunity to win every battle. Not as easy as modern FF that we are all used to. Go in a random battle and attack all the way? You will be dead in no time in IV

Level up until level 20 on the first mission (when it was only cecil n kain)..then it'll be a bit easy

Skip FF3 if u can...FF4 is wayyyy better.

ok...i guess i'll follow ur advise...maybe one day if no other good games released, can play back FF3...

Make sure you play in a quiet room. When... certain 'storyline' elements come into play, much screaming and BAWWWing is guaranteed for first timers of FFIV

oh shiet fabul has reverse trap xD
and its bald as well

haha true true indeed on the unexpected things

I'm entering the sealed cave, average party level is 50
