Final Fantasy IV for DS is a must-play for those looking to jump into the best-selling RPG franchise in the world. Four elemental Crystals, each possessing awesome power, lie scattered throughout the realm. However, men are quick to covet things that offer strength, and easily corrupted by the might that they possess. Seduced by the promised power of the Crystals, the kingdom of Baron begins employing unprovoked force to seize them from peaceful nations. The dark knight Cecil - Lord Captain of Baron's elite force, the Red Wings - is ordered by his king to obtain the Crystals, but soon begins to question the monarch's motives. Stricken with grief at his own actions, yet burdened by his loyalty to his country and his personal sense of honor, Cecil at last decides to turn from the path of darkness and destruction. Enraged, the king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist. Cecil embarks on a fateful journey that will bring trials, betrayals, friendship, loss, and self-discovery.

Great game, but difficult at times:
Now yes this game is hard, but don't let that deter you. I had to fight Octomammoth 8 times to beat him but once i filnally beat him it felt awesome. The Active Battle System is cool too, but sometimes i feel rushed to pick a move or else the guy will attack me again. The only cons i can think of is that there is not as much use of the touch screen. I barely ever use my stylus.
Personal liking:
I'm not one for long reviews. At all. This is personal opinion: I loved it. Make your own choice.
rpg:
this is a classic rpg and my first rpg experience in 1992. I did not sleep for weeks playing this long journey game. and now I'm playinging on a 3-D on my ds .bring memories and I glad squre did this game I just wish they do final fantasy 3 in 3-D also my favorities games. now my complain is for the idiot who paste those wrom pictures of final fantasy 9 for this amazing game at the display.
Worthy update:
I never played the original, and I've only played all the Kingdom Hearts, FFX, X-2, XII and the updated FFIII DS. In short, this feels like a continuation and perfection of III. Voice acting was a nice touch, graphics feel classier and the plot holds up. Make no mistake, you will need a strategy guide with a few bosses, but overall, its workable. I'm glad I purchased this game, it makes me unexpectedly happy.
