About the Game
The title first debuted in 1991 as the fourth installment in the FINAL FANTASY series. Wildly popular thanks to its unique characters and dramatic storylines, it went on to be ported to many different platforms.FINAL FANTASY IV was the first title to introduce the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which has become synonymous with the series. It also saw the introduction of the Augment system, which enabled the transfer of abilities from other characters and gave players an edge in battles.
This iconic title is packed with other amazing features.

a 3D remake
of the best FF title
my fave anyway
Makes an old school rpg bearable with cinematic camera angles during cutscenes. I recommend this over the pixel remaster.
shit story and repetitive boring gameplay like all the final fantasies up to X
The FOV and Zoom is terrible. I really wanted to like this version of the game and I love the voiced players. You are zoomed way in and can barely see anything from your perspective, neither of which you can change. I wondered why this version of the game, which includes extra story (awesome), was cheaper than the 2D remake. Well, in a nut-shell, this is why. This is a 3D remake without the adjustments that a 3D FOV and zoom require. Additionally, you should have a free camera with the ability to pan up and down, which you can't. This leaves the game feeling very, very cramped. If a mod ever came out offering these adjustments, this game would rock a whole lot more than it does. Heck, if you could zoom out a bunch, to see more from an original perspective, that would work. You can't and I have looked for a mod to do this but it doesn't exist or I can't find it. If anyone knows of one, let me know. I really want to play this version of the game and love it. As of now, I just bought the 2D remake instead. However, I am holding out hope that a MOD can be made and uploaded for players to update their game. Disappointing. Until a MOD or update is made, I can't recommend this game. It is far too cramped to be enjoyed.
It's an incredible game, it has good characters, a good story (even if it can be a little simple and for children sometimes), but it has its impact and its way of shining. It's a great experience in which you can play again and again to get different improvements, builds, weapons and spells. Wait for a promotion and play Final Fantasy 4.
👍
2nd fav final fantasy title, started on the OG FF2 released version of this in the 90s, the remake is nice, the auto battle makes leveling up a breeze and the augment system is a nice addition, the required 3 playthroughs to get all the augments is a bummer.
I still feel this game has the best ending of all the Final Fantasy's. The story which can be a bit confusing at times still comes through and ends amazingly. You feel for the main characters, and travel with them through their journey. Auto Battle is amazing, giving you the ability to level up while only half paying attention. Augmentations are fun and add a new dynamic to the game. And New Game+ makes it so you can play it again with things from the previous play Through.
I definitely recommend this for FF fans as well as newcomers as the story is great, the characters are awesome, and the music ofc
Great

The battles have a strange lag to them. I wish this was another remake like the F3 remake, or better yet, the FF4 port on the PSP we got about a decade ago. The auto-battle isn't that much faster than the base speed. Even the menu windows are really RPGMaker-esque. Saving your game has a redundant confirmation screen to it. Overall a lazy disappointment. If you want something that looks like this but feels/plays better, get the FF3 3D remake. A shame the FF more people wanted was the worse port. This review comes from a guy who has beaten the original 6 games. Really wanted to like it.
The 3D is kinda slow but playable
If you enjoy old school, turn based, Japanese RPG's then this game is right up your alley.
Best Game Ever
"Birthed from womb of Dragon's maw, And borne unto the stars..."
The only game in the series I can think of that introduced the five person party. It brings back nice memories of my youth playing the A version- which was easier than the B version. The rotation of characters and class combinations was nice and gives a bit of a chance to figure out how to work with each character if only temporarily. This version was nice as it gave me a chance to hear how certain names and places were to be pronounced, but the better thing was the augment system in which you could give random abilities that characters don't normally get those ones. Though it's only limited to I think two augments? I know the new-game plus is only good for a total of two additional goes to level up and power up to get the super bosses- but it is what it is and eventually I might get 100% on the achievements in this game too.
The controls kind of suck, but it stays true to nostalgia and plays well.
This game is awesome.
FF4 has always been my favorite Final Fantasy game and this 3D Remake makes it even better!
A great remake of one of the best rpgs in history
Fun experience very worthwhile.
Runs poorly and balanced poorly. Not a good game by modern standards. Only play for completion's sake.
Great game! one of the most slept on games in the series.
If you're unsure which version to get (like I was), don't worry, I got you
If you grew up with the DS/Wii: Get this one.
If you're an old fart: Get the original.
If neither applies: Get the Pixel Remaster.
As far as I can tell this is basically a straight port of the Nintendo DS version, complete with low frame rates, low poly counts, micro sized textures and crunchy, lo-fi audio. The advertisement that the game has "High resolution graphics and retouched cutscenes" is a dirty lie. The least Square could do is touch it up a bit for systems more powerful then a 2004 handheld...
That said, it is still a unique and enjoyable way to experience FF4. If you never played the DS version or simply want a way to play it on PC without resorting to emulation, then give it a try. Though maybe wait for a substantial sale. I personally would not spend more then $5 on this.
It's the best of the FF series ever.
Final Fantasy IV is an extremely strong JRPG that, unlike many of the earlier titles in its series, can stand shoulder-to-shoulder even with more modern genre contemporaries thanks to its fantastic implementation of the ATB system, as well as featuring a fifth party member slot, allowing for more options during combat. Likewise, its story impresses with strong writing for the main cast and likely the best presentation a game originally released on the DS could hope to feature.
Story and Setting
FFIV revolves around the story of Cecil Harvey, a Dark Knight in service of the King of Baron who is being sent on atrocious missions, massacring civilians in order to eliminate threats to Baron as well as to secure the Crystals of Light. Naturally, things do not stay this simple very long, as Cecil decides to abandon his service and instead try to uncover what corruption has seeped into Baron and which forces are after the Crystals.
Of course, this is all very typical Final Fantasy, but FFIV features some pretty ambitious writing, especially when it comes to its characters. Apart from the sometimes a bit shaky main story, the game isn’t afraid to show remarkably gritty moments and have those thoroughly impact the characters as well. People do die or are injured beyond the ability to continue; each step Cecil takes feels fought-for and therefore also has significant emotional payoff.

That being said, FFIV also isn’t perfect and occasionally chickens out of outright killing party members despite near impossible circumstances. This does remove some emotional weight a lot of scenes could have had.
Towards the latter half of the story, the game can get a little thick with the typical prose that early Final Fantasy titles feature, being a bit too pretentious with its script that, coupled with the very mediocre voice-performance, can likewise harm immersion somewhat.
Gameplay
FFIV’s gameplay is remarkable strong for its age. While it does away with the free job selection of its predecessor and instead assigns each party member one single class instead, it also introduces both the Active Time Battle (ATB) system as well as the ability to field a fifth character in combat. To reiterate a little on each, the ATB system is a soft turn-order mechanic. It is represented by a gauge for each character, which fills up and then allows the player to choose that character’s action. Each action is then again assigned a “speed” with which it is executed. For example, a simple attack command will be executed almost immediately, while a spell will require further charging. This introduces an extra layer of strategy, wherein the player is incentivized to play around this timer to anticipate enemy actions.

This works very well with FFIV’s boss design, wherein bosses usually have mechanics to play around, such as an enemy turning all damage into healing and vice versa. The fifth party member slot likewise introduces a lot more depth to such a combat system and allows FFIV to have some genuinely challenging boss encounters.
I felt the balancing was also very strong, as no single party member on their own felt vastly stronger than another, and neither did I feel like the game required any excessive grinding to stay on curve with the difficulty. That being said, there is plenty of opportunity to get ahead of the difficulty by engaging in sidequests, which typically award abilities—passive and active actions—that can be allotted to any character and feel very rewarding to acquire—even more so as a reward for attentive exploration.
One aspect that also plays a lot into the acquisition of abilities is that most sidequests are immediately linked to Cecil’s party members, who have a tendency to come and go according to the current events taking place in the story. While I think it is a good thing and works to make the characters feel like they have some genuine agency in the plot, it can also lead to some awkward times when characters you have relied on for the past few hours and invested skills, money, and gear into suddenly leave—sometimes for good.
Dungeons are still fairly linear, and the encounter rate is a tad too high for my liking. This can make especially the very final dungeon of the game an absolute slog to play through. Similarly to FFIII, IV also very much likes to hide treasure chests behind invisible corridors, which is still as annoying here as it was there. Regrettably, this is still not the game to get dungeon-crawling totally right, and rather it is the story and fun boss encounters that kept me engaged throughout these sections.
Finally, it is a little disappointing that, while no grinding is really necessary to finish the main story, that there is some content locked behind NG+, namely the game’s two superbosses. Similarly, the absolute best equipment of the game will require an insane amount of monotonous farming for rare item drops that I’ve only really seen rivaled by FFXII.
Graphics and Sound
Graphically, I was a bit surprised at how good FFIV can look at times. While, sure, the DS look definitely aged, the game still handles its presentation a lot better than, say, the 3D remake of FFIII. This is largely achieved both by the character models being fairly expressive and additionally featuring voice-over during select cutscenes, but also by opting for a more polygonal look, which sometimes felt evocative of games like FFVII. This is about as good-looking as a game of that era and console may get.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3323393402
Of course, music is also top-notch, as can be expected from a Final Fantasy title. It is probably the series’ most consistent quality, and FFIV is no exception. Standout tracks include The Dreadful Fight, as one of the most tense boss themes in this genre, Red Wings, or even more somber environmental tracks like Cry in Sorrow.
Technical Issues and Performance
While the game ran perfectly fine, with no crashes or conventional stutters, it does have a pretty jarring 15 FPS lock in combat, making it feel sluggish and unresponsive at times. As far as I have read, this used to be due to the DS' hardware limitations, but frankly, it has absolutely no reason to be in this port.
Furthermore, there has been one minor issue I experienced with certain cutscenes in the game, wherein some voiced cutscenes would not be in sync with the subtitles or even overlap with the narration of the next few lines, as if the delivery was just too slow for the actual scene playing out. This may be isolated to the English voice-over, but since the game does not feature a language selection, it remained a pretty annoying issue.
Final Thoughts
Suffice it to say, I really liked my time with FFIV. And it’s a bit surprising to me that I did. I was expecting a very lukewarm plot akin to FFIII, and while FFIV’s story is far from perfect, what was so impressive was that both the writing and the gameplay were as consistently good as they were. Whereas usually, I have single major gripes with every other entry in the series, be that due to the often atrocious dungeon design, horribly monotonous villains, or an overreliance on grinding, FFIV simply managed to be a well-done, well-balanced, and frankly, well-executed JRPG experience from start to finish.
OK, so, this is a great game (my favorite Final Fantasy) if you are going for a very good story and characters and just in general everything about it if you just want to experience the game. Now the catch, if you want to grind out items and get the best gear and max stat yourself out, this game is brutal. Need a lot of patience to be able to do so and time. The drop rate for the needed items is .04% and becomes .08% if you get ALL augments which you can easily miss if you don't get 100% map data which you can miss since not all are permanent (that's happened to me on this review). I was able to get to level 99 on all members and be able to beat the game by 42 hours (at 106 Steam hours by the time of this review) and been grinding for the best gear since then, which I need 5 more drops out of 9. Either way I still massively recommend this game for story and grind enthusiasts.
Hope you enjoy!!!!
I enjoy the FF series as a whole while the limited FPS can be increased Im just too lazy to do it so I am fine with the default frame rate the game gives you.
