I agree. IV was the best installment, by far.

Can't agree more, they should have what they did on VII with VI. I mean, giving a movie sequel, a prequel, the sequel of the sequel (the DMC like game, but staring Loke, Shadow or Setzer) and the prequel of the prequel (remember, first is Before Crisis, a cellphone game, then Crisis Core)

VI is by far the best FF ever been made, then there comes VII, IV, II, V, X, I, X-2, VIII, XII, III, IX, and hopes that XIII takes VI place, or at least IV, on my FF top list

VI is by far teh best. You can get in on GBA Fernando. And farseer, you are correct. Keffka is the best and most evil villain out of all the other games. For me, after VI, Final Fantasy started to go downhill for me. I have tried VII, but was not as enjoyable for me. The coolest thing about VI was that it went into so much depth with the characters stories. Almost every character that you had in your party or that was a big part in the story, had their own story and just the number of characters you could play as was incredible too

I can't play it. I've never played a FF game, but I've always wanted to. And I just got FF6 on my GBA. Love the into sequence and the mode 7 scrolling. Characters and story seem interesting, so I persevered as long as i could, but...

...argh! Random battles every 6 steps???? God its so annoying? Walk down a secret corridor and have 20 random battles with the same 2 groups of enemies!?

I've never played a game that feels so much like hard work. I loved chrono trigger, but that didn't have the excess of random battles and the battles themselves felt more tactical.

After 2 tries, and a week of trying to force myself to keep playing I'm gonna admit defeat, and until Chrono trigger comes out on the DS i'm gonna check out Fire Emblem, which supposedly has the cool story of FF but without the time wasting battles.

(not meant as a bash.. just letting out my frustration at not being able to enjoy what i'm sure i a great story).

This needs to be released ASAP so they can start working on new stuff. I love my classic FF's, but enough is enough, let's get some new games rolling. How about a new Chrono Trigger instead of a remake huh?

They tried that once. Chrono Cross. It was..amusing at best. Chrono Trigger still far outweighs the competition, even it's own sequel, in terms of just sheer enjoyment.

I would love to see it remade next gen style. Though a new one in the series wouldn't be completely horrible.

Chrono Cross was awesome, dude. It had a pretty deep battle system, a soundtrack which, before SMG, Mass Effect, and SSBB, I considered unrivaled, and a great story. Perhaps not on the level of Chrono Trigger, but it was an awesome game nonetheless.

Most of Chrono Cross's soundtracks were remakes of tunes from the SNES japan only Radical Dreamers.

Actually, Chrono Cross in general is just a remake of Radical Dreamers.

I won't argue that it was a great game. Just it disappointed in terms of being a sequel to one of the best games ever, IMO, so anything that tries to recreate the feel of Chrono Trigger is bound to disappoint me.

Not that I wouldn't love to play a new one again though. Chrono Cross had a pretty deep story, and I really dug the soundtrack, holy shit it was amazing. Just from the opening scene (I think) with the violin, badass.

And some of the characters stuck with me from it, just not the way the original cast did. I really liked Glen for some reason, his combos with Chrono were just so cool.

I'm playing through this on the GBA and it's so, so cool. Kefka is such an evil, clowny bastard. But, at the same time, he is rather endearing. That laugh of his.

I'm at the Tower now and I'm hoping the game doesn't become the grindfest that FF3 was. What a disappointment that last mega castle was.

Oh gosh, I just read the headline again and it say's Final Fantasy 4. I failed roman numeral class.

Disregard everything I just said, apart from the FF3 sucks comment.

The ONLY enjoyable thing about FFIV is a drinking game where players take bets on which party member is going to temporarily give his life for the party now...

I loved Final Fantasy III DS up until that last castle before that damned point of no return

The boss of the castle was so, so much weaker than practically everything beyond the point, the leveling to beat him nowhere near met the qualifications to clear that last part

needless to say, I gave up

Sheppy, you're just bitter because the localization sucked so damn bad.

That and 3/4 of the story was removed from the game so it would fit on the cartridge/budget.

FF4 on DS is going to be sweet.

I wouldn't call it bitter, more amused. After all, party members were selflessly offing themselves faster than Japanese Teenagers after High School Enrollment lists are made public....

I'm probably going to hell for that one...

Thanks for sticking with all the French stuff today. I'm not sure why, but it just seems to make me smile.

Anyway, this excites me, I loved the old Final Fantasy games and the remake love is amazing.

Though Chrono Trigger would be the one and only game to actually get my pre-order for any sort of limited edition and waiting in line to get at hour zero. I still love that game more than anything!!!

@Mr. Khan

In case you didn't know, Chris Grant pretty much runs this site. So I think he knows what's up.

Anyway, if it's completely by accident, or some strange elaborate April Fools thing you guys have today, I like it. It's fun.
