I second the SMRPG recommendation. And if you like that, get Paper Mario.

I enjoyed The Crystal Bearers, but yeah, Belle was annoying. I really liked Amidatelion, though. Also, the game was a bit short for my tastes.

Vivi would probably be my favorite storywise. As far as battle, I found Vivi, Garnet, and Amarant useful.

Yeah, I don't remember them saying anything about that in the games. I find it rather suspicious that you never see any males anywhere.

February 2010?! I thought it was coming out this November! :( Boo. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. It seems pretty original, gameplay-wise, and Mitsuda's soundtrack ought to be good.

I liked summoning in this game a lot more than in others, where they just performed an attack and disappeared. I found them to be quite useful throughout the game. They where good for getting overkills on bosses, or just wiping out some of the more annoying random fiends.

We don't know that the original characters won't be in it at all. But, personally, I'd like this game to take place several generations after the last one, to give Weyard a chance to adjust to the release of Alchemy. Also, I wouldn't want to play as the same characters because A. we've already...

I didn't even know they were working on an FFIV album. OC Remix never fails to impress.

Yes, it does. Thank you.

I found the sameness of all the characters kind of annoying. I did try to vary them a bit by giving them different equipment and making each one focus on a specific branch of magick - white magick for Penelo, arcane magic for Basch, technicks for Vaan, and so forth.

I've heard that the remake has a New Game Plus feature, but I haven't heard what it entails. It seems that it's not just starting the game at your previous levels. Does anyone who has beaten it know what material is available in subsequent playthroughs?

According to Wikipedia, the prices are: Chapters 1-3: 800 points Chapters 4-10: 300 points each Chapter 11 (final chapter): 800 points That's $37 total, which is less than what most new games cost.

Basically, the plot involves the reappearance of the Lunarian moon and a mysterious and obviously evil girl who is collecting the elemental crystals. The main character is Ceodore, the son of King Cecil and Queen Rosa, and most of the playable characters from the first game are playable, as well...

The first one, which I think is required to play any of the game, is 800 points. The smaller installments are 300 each. I'm not sure what the final one will cost. And it's 2D, similar to the GBA version of FFIV.

I'd say so, yes. Especially if you liked the original.
