    Other than these alterations, this is the same Final Fantasy IV that has made a mark as one of the definitive role-playing adventures in gaming history. While the outside may appear dated compared to modern games, the core gameplay experience remains fresh. Anyone looking for a worthwhile and challenging role-playing game should definitely pick this up. Read more

    sports two new dungeons, a bestiary, and the ability to choose which party members will accompany Cecil, the main character, at the end of the game. The first new dungeon allows for the five additional characters available at the end of the game to obtain powerful weapons similar to the ones the original party can obtain in the last dungeon.

Released in 1991 for the Super NES as Final Fantasy II, fans of the series were blown away by the sheer size of the game which spanned an entire world, an underworld, and to the moon itself. Playing the game on your trusty GBA proves just as impressive as the original game remains... Read more

    FF4 was a good game for its time, and with the slightly improved graphics, and added dungeon, it makes a decent play.

The problem with the artwork can be avoided if you can find an old copy of the game for the Super Nintendo. The only real difference between the re-release, and the original is the bonus art, bestiary, and extra dungeon at the end. The new script is really just a... Read more
