Well, i completed this game on the GBA version...
This is my review on it. As far as i feel...! So here goes.

I thought the music was pretty good. I liked it, in fact.. Character design's still okay (Well, it's one of the classics so i can complain too much). The battle system is also alright. Pretty standard with that guage thingie there. I'm happy that Rosa and Rydia can learn Holy and Meteor respectively..! Storyline's great. Thought it was nicely set up!

Well, that's about what i have to say about this game.. Hope it's not too little or anything..

em ok

Story and Character: Overall, the plot is very entertaining, and supplies a lot of thrills and plot twists along the way. All the characters have something interesting to say and have intriguing pasts (with the exception of Yang). the villian, Golbez, is awesome, just for being so evil and dark hearted!

Graphics: basing it on the Super NES version, the grahpics can look a dark and washed down at time, but character animation is great.

Music: Uematsu best score yet! From "Theme of Love" to "Melody of Lute", FFIV's score is tunning and heart breaking. It's also got one of the best battle themes in any FF

Gameplay: the Active Time Battle system was very innovative at the time, but now it can feel like you're constantly being bombarded by attacks. That said, it does get you active in the battle. The rest of the game plays like an NES Final Fantasy.

Enjoyment: besides from being one of the best RPGs on the Super NES (trumped by VI and Chrono Trigger) Final fantasy IV is just as enjoyable today as it was when it first came out. The plot constantly surprises, the characters are very loveable, and the music is stunning. But you need to be hardcore to get the most out of it.

Story and Character: 9
Graphics: 8.8
Music: 10
Gameplay: 9.2
Enjoyment: 9.4

OVERALL: 9.3 (rounded)

the story, including the characters, are awesome. many heroines, plenty of drama and comedy. there's even a character that everyone has to hate: EDWARD! he's probably the SAPPIEST and weakest character in any FF game and is perfect for making fun. However, past all the great story, the game is short and the difficulty only lies in the random encounters. WAY TOO MANY random encounters.
