Thumbs up

Has a very underrated story in my opinion and I think the tragedy in this game was more upsetting to me than FFVII. If you want to play a game that has a better story then some of today's RPG's, then this is definitely worth getting.

Exclamation

Of course it is, I like the story, the characters, although the graphics weren't that great even for that time.

This game has a deeper story, you know what I mean, that kind of story that makes you wonder the whole day about what could happen next

Completely worth it, but it would be better to wait for the DS version, unless you have enough money

Yup... if you can wait for the DS version to come out in America, pick it up.

It's amazing.

I think If I would have played this game the year is was released, it would have absolutely blown me away. FFIV is probably the best FF before FFVII (although FFVI comes close). I love the transformation into a Paladin, and the link with Kain and stuff. Love it!

I got FFIV by buying FF Chronicles that came with that plus Chrono Trigger. Between those two game, I think Chrono Trigger was better, but FFIV has it's finer points as well.

I think FFIV is the only game that let's you use 5 characters in a party simultaneously, but it has it's own limitation that were rectified in later FF games.

That's only for the PS1 though, don't know about it for other systems...

Though I mostly agree w/you (mainly because I don't think anything but the game itself was tragic in FFVII)...do you mean the tragedy that's undone later, the tragedy that's undone later, the tragedy that's undone later, the tragedy that's undone later, or the tragedy that actually sticks that you see coming?

That's certainly not the case...off the top of my head I could name several games: FFTactics, Fire Emblem, Shining Force...I don't know if I could name a non-SRPG off the top of my head, but I'd be more than surprised if it weren't the case...also, the game's balanced to use however many characters you have in your party, really...all RPGs work that way...which is why you can work perfectly well w/Dragon Quest's 1-on-1 system. Balance.

I meant the only FF game in the series, but I did forget about FFT ^^

The Suikoden series allows you to use 6.
