The Final Fantasy Thread

Has anyone played the FFIV DS port. I haven't played the original in years but did they make the game harder?
I have it but haven’t played it, or at least didn’t play much of it. Once ff4 pixel remaster released I played that instead. I didn’t like the ugly 3d graphics of the ds games.

I have only played ds 4 so I can't answer your question if it's harder than the other versions but I can give my input on the difficulty. It's not to hard except for a couple of fights. I don't believe the game explains that undead are(maybe I'm just stupid) weak to healing magic/items so the fight with the undead fiend on the mountain is almost impossible if you try to attack him without healing magic. Next unfair fight is the fight with golbez's shadow dragon. Most of your party is useless or gimped since they can't wear or use anything metal so the fight is kinda up to luck. Next would be the fight with Golbez. You only have Rydia to revive the party which is an issue since Rydia is super weak due to her not being in the party for a few hours, luck based if you win. The entirety of the moon dungeons have enemies that are 10x harder than the final boss so it's best just to run. Not to hard expect for those few dungeons and bosses.
 
One thing I’ve heard from reviewers that they aren’t exactly too keen on in Rebirth is that the ending is apparently messy.

Make of that what you will.
Sounds like one of the leaks I read may actually be true.
XVI didn't even do Devil May Fantasy well. Its combat is a pale imitation of Devil May Cry, despite having a DMC veteran designing the combat.
I loved FFXVI combat but I don’t think it had enough basic combos. All I could do was do the same basic combo that barely does any damage while I wait for abilities to cool down. It also would’ve been nice if some enemies were weak to some eikons or if eikon abilities inflicted status effects.

That was to be expected. Just look at the previous installment.

No rocket town in this one has me worried
Now that was not expected. I thought this part was going to cover the rest of disk 1. What's the point of cutting that out? How are you supposed to get to the Temple of the Ancients then never mind the Forgotten Capital (and don't be a smartass and say by Black Chocobo).

It is different. Some skills are changed a bit like Cecil's Darkness Wave is instead a Buff that increases your Attack Stat at the cost of a bit of HP each attack. And due to the Augment System,you can customize the shit out of your party and New Game+ gives you the Limit Break Augment which just removes the 9999 Damage Limit.

I never got too far but it sure wouldn't be as hard as Final Fantasy IV from the Final Fantasy Chronicles 2-pack with Chrono Trigger.

Especially coming back from Chrono Trigger,that version of FFIV did not mess around with low low MP Pools early on and heavy random encounter rates and so much resource management I miss from older RPGs. I do miss the way equipment was done in FFIV with how you have a slot of each body part for armor like arms,head and body as well as arrows you need to stock up on to use.

Now if you want a Final Fantasy DS experience harder than the base game,Final Fantasy III DS was harder than the Original and Pixel Remaster as MP or rather Spell Slot Pools were smaller especially for the Sage Class later on and bosses just got 4 turns to do whatever which easily can kill a party member if you aren't careful and they focus fire. Add that with unlike the NES and Pixel Remaster,you do not start with a full party in the DS version. It also has the Iron Giant as a Secret Boss. I think that version is on Steam if I recall since it had an IOS port.

I think they cut out wutai as well and had it be for the 3rd part, so it’s the same for rocket town. Although I don’t know how the fuck you’re supposed to meet cid in this game then.
 
"WAY MORE THAN A REMAKE"

Yeah that's the entire fucking problem, dipshits. I waited over a decade for a remake and am still waiting because they went and released an entirely unrelated game.

Kinda pissed about wutai tho supposedly we will see it in the final installment.
You knew they were going to do this. Don't be upset! They're liars.
 
CHAOS! CHAOS! Chaos.
Did somebody say CHAOS?

Yep, I am at tha Golbez/Rydia fight and he defeats me quick. Just don't want to invest in a game with grindy bullshit.
 
Kill chaos. Behead chaos. Roundhouse kick chaos into the concrete. Slam dunk a chaos baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy chaos. Defecate in chaos' food. Launch chaos into the sun. Stir fry chaos in a wok. Toss chaos into active volcanoes. Kick chaos in the testicles. Urinate into chaos' gas tank. Judo throw chaos into the wood chipper. Twist chaos' heads off. Report chaos to the IRS. Karate chop chaos in half. Curb stomp pregnant chaos. Trap chaos in quicksand. Crush chaos in the trash compactor. Liquefy chaos in a vat of acid. Eat chaos. Dissect chaos. Exterminate chaos in the gas chamber. Stomp chaos' skull with steel toed boots. Cremate chaos in the oven. Lobotomize chaos. Mandatory abortions for chaos. Grind chaos' fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown chaos in fried chicken grease. Vaporize chaos with a ray gun. Kick old chaos down the stairs. Feed chaos to alligators. Slice chaos with a katana. Total chaos death.

Everything is out of order this time round. It's not going to be a stright line from A to B. Not to mention History has been changed. That's why Wutai isnt in this. They are a peer power to Shinra now and they didnt want to make them the comic relief nation anymore. If im not mistaken I think the soldiers we saw in the very first trailer are from wutai.

Frankly im excited to see how the ending pisses everyone off. Going to be difficult to go in without being spoiled though.

 
People are already bitching on sites like resetera about Tifa. She has a weight training minigame again and she wears her tropical bikini outfit with frills and stuff. They're saying its exploitative because her breast physics......never mind that is entirely missing the point. Breasts and chests (yes men i see you bodybuilder types) are supposed to heave up and down because....oh idk.....breathing?

It isn't like her boobs are glitching all over the place like an NPC getting stuck and spazing out on the screen
