I'm home – FINAL FANTASY IV (3D REMAKE) Review

Update: Still runs perfectly. I for one love the 64 bit polygonal graphics. Takes me back to my N64 days. $&@%# the people bashing these games because of that...they're probably only 10 or 11 years old or something The very first Final Fantasy game I ever played was FF IV, and I was was like 12 or 14 or something I can't really remember. I just remember that it was my birthday and my grandma took me to Walmart to buy a gameboy advance SP and a copy of Final Fantasy IV advance. I played that game non stop until my eyeballs fell out of my head, remembering the final boss being the most epically brutal sob in the history of all RPGs. So I set out on a quest to purchase and beat all the FF games on the App Store in order, and a couple of weeks ago I finally made it to the almighty number 4! First off, I always considered FF 4 to be the best in the series once I started to play the others in the years since that fateful day, but when I made it to FF III in the App Store, my memories of FF 4 soon faded and I considered 3 to be my new fav in the series because it BLEW ME AWAY! But I knew that once I made it to 4 in the App Store, that it would most assuredly reclaim its throne, and indeed it has. Everything about the game is flawless. Not only the fact that as with FF III, there are absolutely no technical bugs to speak of whatsoever, but I felt like a kid again for the 30+ hours of the incredibly rich nostalgia-laden gameplay. Every boss, every dungeon, every heartfelt moment, which might I add have been made a million times more heartfelt this time around due to the amazing 3D graphics and dialogue infused cinamatic cutscenes. The only problem I think I have with this version is that they (spoiler alert) have completely removed the Lunar Ruins bonus dungeon that you unlock by beating the game. It consists of 50 floors and at the end was the third and final stage of the last boss Zeromus...the almighty Zeromus EG!!!! Unfortunately that was one of the only memories I had lest of FF 4 so I was pretty disappointed to find out it was removed. But all in all...I am a very very happy man!!!!??? Next stop FF V!!!!
