But Final Fantasy IV has to be my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time and one of my top 10 RPGs
I just can't express enough how awesome this game is and how it touched my heart more than any Final Fantasy game did with it's simple but great story and it's great cast of characters
I can't find myself hating any of the main characters in the game,even the likes of Edward despite being useless and I love Kain despite the frustrating second betrayal that made me lose all equipment I gave to him.....GODDAMMIT KAIN STOP BETRAYING ME!!!
Cecil has to be my favorite main protagonist in the Final Fantasy series followed by Zidane from FF9.
What made Cecil stands out to me unlike some emos in the series(Looking at you Cloud and Squall) is that despite his crimes as a Dark Knight...he was determined to redeem himself and atone for his sins and become a Paladin.....he succeeded at that task without moaning endlessly like what Cloud did in FF7 Advent Children or Squall's emo dialogue toward his comrades in FF8
One thing I love about Golbez,despite not being the main villain at the end,is that unlike other FF villains(except Caius),he considers you a serious threat,he's on your ass no matter where you go.In every dungeon either one of the four archfiends or their henchmen are on your tail,he mind controls one of your friends to betray you and take the Crystal,and when two of the archfiends were defeated,Golbez went to you personally to kill you by himself.That alone made Golbez for me one of the most intimidating villains in the series(again despite being not the main villain)....most of the villains in the FF series barely fights you until their final boss encounter where before it they just send their minions to kill you,Golbez on the other hand,is the first one in the series to go personally to kill you instead of waiting for you to kill all of his henchmen.I know I know he was mind controlled by Zemus and in the end Zemus was the Final boss,but think about it,while being mind controlled,Golbez was more intimidating than most of the villains in the series.
Not to mention the awesome fast paced Gameplay,FF4 has one of my favorite soundtracks in video game history
The entire soundtrack is awesome,Nobou Uematsu really did a fantastic job composing the music,making it one of the best SNES soundtrack you can ever hear
And the remixes of the DS remake made it even better....just listen
Final Fantasy IV is absolutely a game that I can recommend to any fan of Final Fantasy or JRPG in general.
Give it a shot if you haven't played it yet
I recommend that you get either the PSP complete collection that also has FFIV the After Years....or you can get the DS remake
But be prepared...the DS remake(not a port...it's a remake) is way way harder than the original and some of your strategies that you might've made in the original version won't work against some bosses
I don't know about you guys
