Thanks to one of my older brothers, I was introduced to the Final Fantasy series, as well as many RPGs in general, thanks to Final Fantasy IV. And the PSP version of this classic is truly the best version to get! Not only does it look great, but also includes the special hidden dungeon from the GBA version after beating the main story of the original FFIV, there's also a new "Interlude" introduced, just for this version of the game that tells of the events, after the end of the original game and a little into its sequel, and speaking of the sequel, "Final Fantasy IV: The After Years" is not only included in this collection, but all of the other character's stories are included, too for free, unlike the WiiWare version where every story was a pay-to-play. (Just be sure to save each story on a SEPARATE save file when playing through the sequel. Believe me, I learned that lesson the hard way.) But yeah, and if you can't get the PSP original of this collection in physical form, this collection was re-released on the PlayStation Store for PSvita systems, so at least there's that.Vollständige Rezension lesen

This is by far the best port of FF4 ever made in terms of graphics and content. Not only does it have the best 2D sprites but the content has been extended to include Interlude (short so so game) and After Years. Combined it's a great value and will give more than 40 hours of gameplay. Perfect for die hard fans of Final Fantasy and those that want to reminisce the good old days. After years has the same feel as the original but completely new plots. It's divided into individual short stories by character that will somehow come together at the end. The graphics music and sprites are mostly recycled but the enhanced plot makes it worth it. Don't expect compelling storylines but mostly a good game to relive the good old days of SNES RPG gaming.

FFIV (or, FFII in the US SNES release) redefined how gamers saw RPG's. The first appearance of the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, a deep but easily followable story, hilarious translations (who can forget seeing "You spoony Bard" the first time and being like WTF? :) and deep gameplay made this the first of many FF's that gamers have played, and indeed many things that appeared in FFIV have appeared in many other games since. This all being said, this is no less than the 4th remake of this game (it has also been rereleased/refreshed on the PS1, GBA and DS). Since the DS game took the gameplay in a much different direction (MUCH harder difficulty, the "augment" system, 3D graphics, etc) it's more than a little unfair to compare the two games, they play drastically different. So for the purpose of this review I'll stick to comparisons between the SNES/PS1/GBA games. For those that have played FFIV in one of those other releases, you're not getting much more here. The game has the same individual weapon challenges (each players "ultimate" weapon) as the GBA release did. The difficuly also is around the same (however, for me at least, it sure SEEMS like the enemy isn't attacking nearly as quick as they should compared to the others). This probably has the best translation of the Japanese text as well vs. the other versions. What really makes this a must buy are the two add-ons: Interlude (which connects FFIV and FFIV: The After Years, and then The After Years itself, which was only previously released as a Japanese phone game and on WiiWare. Interlude is BRUTALLY tough compared to the other 2 parts of this package (your first clue should be Cecil starting out at level 30). If you don't grind you're going to die, a lot of times in 1 hit. It's also very, very short (around 4-6 hours). Still...it's a NEW addition to the FFIV world, and for a game that is 20 years old, that's a pretty remarkable accomplishment. As far as FFIV: The After Years, it's a whole new story but it pretty much takes place in the same locations. There are some new "tweaks" made (the moon's phase affects your attacks, positively or negatively, and you also have special "Band" attacks you can perform only with certain groups of characters). For most this game will clock in at 20-30 hours, which combined with the 20-40 hours you can put into FFIV makes this a very, very great RPG package for $30. If you have NEVER played FFIV before, this is a MUST BUY, period. If you HAVE played one of the other versions, it really comes down to personal preference and whether you think Interlude and FFIV: The After Years are worth your $30. I think they are and so that's why I made the purchase. Pros: - The definitive edition of FFIV - Graphics, sound and translation are the best in all the releases - First chance for non-Wii owners to play FFIV: The After Years - 40-70 hours+ of gameplay for $40 - Deep, engrossing story Cons: - Game does show its age against recent RPG's - Siginificant number of random battles and level grinding are required - Little room for party customization except near the very end of the game - Core FFIV game is very similar to other releasesVollständige Rezension lesen
This happens to be one of the best final fantasy games out there to date. Personally, the SNES era of SquareEnix games could do no wrong. Compared to todays line up of games...I feel Square has wondered off track of what they do best. I fully encourage you to pick this game up and enjoy an epic story with some excellent old-school RPG awesomeness. FFIV CC contains the entire saga from the original game all the way to the previous Wii exclusive After Years. Also, a Interlude can be played to branch the two story lines together. Overall, an excellent package for the price...plus it is portable! I would encourage you to trust me on this and try this game out. This version contains so many great updates and features. Do yourself a solid and get back into some old school RPG goodness and GET THIS GAME!Vollständige Rezension lesen
As a huge Final Fantasy fan. Especially FFIV, this is the perfect addition to any RPG fan's library. Included is a great HD remake of one of the greatest games of all time. Included is the amazing game "Final Fantasy IV", the interlude "Final Fantasy IV Interlude," serving as a guide to the events present in the great game "Final Fantasy IV: The After Years." Every character will have there own uses, and storylines. The translations for the game were well done, and were a huge improvement upon the original games. Gameplay is difficult at times, but just difficult enough that leaves you wanting to keep trying. The animations are also very well done. If you were a fan of Final Fantasy IV back in the day, then this collection is for you.
