Final Fantasy IV

[Scarface]

Same game

New stuff

Nostalgia

All in yer pocket

what more could you ask for?

[superaielman]

A goddamned debugged battle system, for starters. It was a cool game, but the amount of things that were easily fixable that got ignored (Battle system speed, Yang's HP, Cid in general) were just frustrating in general. Translation was inferior to the PSX version in general.

Flipside, the Lunar ruins were cool enough, with Kain especially having a decent duengon.

[Wind]

I heard the translations was better than PSX version? :dry:

[superaielman]

It's... polished at points, but I found it lacking. Too watered down in a few cases.

Generally toned down the content of the translation. For the normal game, I very much prefer FF4 on the PSX. The endgame flexiability isn't worth the slowness of battle and nerfed challenge.

[Scarface]

There are other versions of FFIV other then the gba one?

>_>

Fair enough but even from FFIV elitists (me being one of them) I heard only praise, so your kind of dissapointing me to play it =/

[superaielman]

I'm an FF4 fantatic. One of my favorite RPG's in general, and I was really excited about this porting. Just.. wow, Square. That was a lazy effort.

Definitely worth a pickup, though.

FFIV is a fantastic game and I might pick this up somewhere down the line. But I already own 2 versions of the game.

When FFVI comes out on the GBA though, I will buy it the day it comes out!!!!

[Scarface]

They seriously made this game just for me....

[Elitist Indie Hipster]

Ya, in my books, nothing tops FFVI .

[Akito]

I seriously love FF4. While the GBA port does have a few issues (like the lagginess of the battles), it's still not enough to hurt my enjoyment. What does bother me though is the fact that they added those time-bars into the battles instead of displaying your MP.

[Mr.Titanium]

I think you should always have the option to display numbers or bars or whatever. I havne't played it yet, but I might get it soon.

[Scarface]

Rydia has some insane evasion scores by the end of the game.

OMG!!!! LULU IN THE RPGDL!!!! CAN'T BE HIT WITH A PHYSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Akito]

Something just doesn't seem right about having a level 70 Edward.

[Kyoudai]

Now give me a FFVI where I can have Bannon, Leo, Vicks, and Wedge in my final party.

[Akito]

I at least hope that they give you a way to keep General Leo in FF6 Advance. Imagine how badass it would be to have two offerings.

[Kyoudai]

Offering and Genji Glove was a sick combination.

[Akito]

But would two offerings allow for 16 hits in a row?

[Kyoudai]

No, offering gave you 4 hits, not 8. If offerings DID stack, that would still only be 8 hits. The Offering lets you attack 4 times in one turn. The Genji Glove lets you attack with 2 swords. Put them together and you are hitting a total of 8 times each turn.

But you only get 2 relic slots.

[Scarface]

I did my math and the test were positive.

Kain can solo Zeromous!

Can yer favorite FFIV PC do the same?

*poses*

[Akito]

No, offering gave you 4 hits, not 8. If offerings DID stack, that would still only be 8 hits. The Offering lets you attack 4 times in one turn. The Genji Glove lets you attack with 2 swords. Put them together and you are hitting a total of 8 times each turn.

But you only get 2 relic slots.

I know that, but do the math. The Genji Glove = 2 hits, and the Offering = 4 hits. 2 x 4 = 8. But if there are two Offerings equipped, 4 x 4 = 16.

If they stacked, the algorithm would be like this:

Offering 1: Attack 1

Offering 2: Attack 1

Offering 2: Attack 2

Offering 2: Attack 3

Offering 2: Attack 4

Offering 1: Attack 2

Offering 2: Attack 1

Offering 2: Attack 2

Offering 2: Attack 3

Offering 2: Attack 4

Offering 1: Attack 3

Offering 2: Attack 1

Offering 2: Attack 2

Offering 2: Attack 3

Offering 2: Attack 4

Offering 1: Attack 4

Offering 2: Attack 1

Offering 2: Attack 2

Offering 2: Attack 3

Offering 2: Attack 4

See what I mean?

[Kyoudai]

I see what you are trying to say, but I seriously doubt the offerings would work like that if you equipped 2 of them. At best you'd get 8 attacks, I'm sure.

[Scarface]

Akito, Square can't do math, ya silly fuck or else they would be making another Chrono game.
