@@toontoon8039yeah if you are new to games it's a great game. But if you play it again, yeah story is chaotic. Everyone dies and revives. Kane betrays you like 4 times. Weird
He was just voicing his opinion. I think it needs to be said that these games truly are an experience that some fans really hold dear to their heart and these games have such lasting memories and stories that never are forgotten even 20 years later and I am not just taking about FF, but many rpgs of the classic era. That being said, its understandable why some fans would be absolutly devestated if such a great masterpiece was tarnished or ruined in the form of a remake. Some games are just meant to not be touched by human hands and preserved as they are. FF VII is one such game that has gone through so much deconstruction that it no longer has that kind of appeal anymore because its been altered and changed so much from the original concept. As much as I would love to see more remakes, I just hope that they can do these games justice and not completly change the original formula. All we want are remakes of the source material not a damn reboot that is an entirely different story.
@@Artimes. Couldn't agree more. Some of these games lend themselves well to remake. Others are distilled away from what made them great to begin with. I played the FFVII remake and found myself deeply torn by it in the end. Beyond that I think some games remain perfect in vintage form. Aka need not be remade. Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are as amazing today as they ever were. Still beautiful and aged like a fine wine. The imagination on display is a revelation to this day.
IV was the one who made me want to play the rest of the franchise. I loved the story of Final Fantasy IV, it was so beautifully made with such a great backstory that it fit everything that happens in the game together.
@Pyro Flare So what's your point here? Shitting on me saying I loved this game as a child & made me like the rest of the Final Fantasy games because I didn't mention there was a gba version of it before ?
I also loved how the characters came and went on their own agendas too. Made it perfect for strategies with different skills and also plot movement was perfect with it. I loved in the Advance version how everyone united at the end, had their own trials on Mt Ordeals, and you could take them to the moon. That was definitely perfect. I hope a 3rd remake implements that.
Yep, when the FFIV music was playing in the most recent FFXIV boss fights I was immediately transported back to the '90s in my living room with a SNES controller in my hand! They just smashed on my nostalgia feels with the last FFXIV patch!
@@yuseifudo2609 There's no aliens in here. If your talking about the Lunarians, their not one. Their humans. The reason their called by that name is because they are humans who dwell on the moon. They are much like humans from Earth.
@@martmandred9182 They're living on the moon after coming from another planet that was destroyed by environmental disaster (vaguely implied to be earth, iirc). So yes, they're aliens as far as FF4's world is concerned. Also "magic" in this game is actually technology from said aliens, and the "magic" crystals are canonically an alien supercomputer left by yet another alien forerunner race.
This game changed my life from a very young age. It showed me a new world and a new way of looking at life. Final Fantasy games (and Chrono Trigger) meant so much to me growing up.
@@edotendo2196 Amano hasn't worked on Final Fantasy outside of logos and promotional art since Final Fantasy IX for PS1. Shinji Hashimoto only liked Nomura character designs and sci-fi and overworked Nomura until Nomura started quitting projects partway through. VII, VIII, X, and XV are Nomura's character designs.
The first true Final Fantasy game I ever played. Spent hours upon hours to play, and just loved how memorable the story was. From every character, to their motivates, and such a fantastic story.
People talk about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 a lot, but I consider 4's story to be one of the best in the series because its simple and classic FF yet its engaging because of the twists. And Cecil's supporting cast is goated af. All the playable party members are likable and relatable at certain points in the story.
The scene after the crystal 0:22 to 1:08 it's just stunning. This trailer exemplifies perfectly the beginning of cercil arc and it's all so gorgeous. I wish this game come back with a remake to the new generation!
I really love CECIL Even to this day ( a 39 year old man is typing this, btw ) He's a really Interesting fantasy char from any fantasy media ever, why, cause He's like the opposite of GUTS ( Berserk ) in the sense of how he starts his Warrior's path. CECIL starts as a Dark Knight and has to purify himself as Palladin, whereas GUTS starts in the Light side but after certain _spoilers_ event, he gotta become more gruesome, hence he has this period in which his Mind and Heart fall into Darkness the Strongest he gets, cause he has to, given how the world changed after he survived _that_ event....
I have no clue when it originally came out but I hold it dear to me because it was one of the games I played because my dad got it on virtual console on the wii.
It’s crazy how FFIV got voiced cutscenes, a super good 3D opening, and they look and sound really nice It’s crazy cause FFV and even FFVI didn’t get stuff like this
3 did. But yeah, I was like many others hoping this was the start of a true remake of 6. Then of course nothing happened, and we got a chrono trigger port on the ds as well. Then the 3ds and still not a sound about it. I wish it did get announced. I got so many hours of ff4 on the original snes when it was called 2, and then the gba port with its added extras, and finally this ds remake. What a great game.
They're probably kind of afraid of making people angry if they mess anything up with 6. As for 5, which is less popular so people are less defensive about, they probably just never got around to it.
Same... so long as by "HD remake" you mean they remake *everything* in HD, including the combat graphics & animations (which would basically be like making a new game).
Agreed, unlike the remake of 7. They did improved it, but the battle sequence is kinda a bit complicated(Not that i don't like, of course). More importantly, the VA. The new VA for Cloud is kinda......off. He talked like he's kinda not that serious anymore. It's missing my favorite character vibe. And Sephiroth's VA is not that convincingly chilling unlike the original. The FF7 antagonist i remember, is when he talks in ominously quiet voice, really gives a shiver down my spine. Hope in the FF4 remake, they retain the original VA. I kinda like the original since it's suits the character.
@@martmandred9182As Japanese If you play with Japanese voice over it actually fits a lot since all the voice actor is the original one. Don't know why they choose to switch the entire VC for English. Also, the Japanese version is the actual script rather than like a cultured adaption for English(They completely change the dialogue and characteristics for English to make it more American but it is still good cuz it can be suitable for the western gamer but they completely change their emotions and story. That's why in China and Japan we gave this game 10/10 but in the west is more like an 8/10.
This games story line and soundtrack was so good, I played it when I was a kid and I think it made me a bit delusional…it definitely left a mark, I still get the urge to listen to the ost, takes me back and creates a feeling of nostalgia. No other game has ever immersed me like this one did. I’m gonna go call my shrink now.
Hey hang in there man. Hope you’re okay. And also know that we’re with you. Final Fantasy is beautiful and special to me too. It inspired me in my life, maybe it can do that for you too. May God take care of you.
I fell in love with this story. I was in 7th grade and i took my SNES with us on a vacation to Ocean City Maryland. that's where i beat the game. It is an incredible game. Incredible! The 3d remaster on the DS was awesome. I wish they'd give it yet another update. But first, lets do Tactics and FF VI. Maybe even IX. What made IV so good though, was that it was REALLY freaking hard!
Man we really need a story of a man who has done great evil but able to redeem himself and save the world, something we really need in our lives today tbh.
That plot for a Fantasy Movie feels actually better than Lord Of The Rings itself... PD I''m actually being completely Honest btw, i''m not trying to get Internet Attention though.
I never did play this version, but I did play the original snes version. And this was my first RPG ever. This was the game that taught me games could be more than side scrolling platformers or top down adventure games with very generic stories, that games could have strong narratives and characters with their own individualties and personalities. Though it didn't rise to the top of my favorite FF games, it will always hold the top spot for being the most influential.
Stunning game in so many ways. I play it every few years and am never disappointed by it. These visuals, especially the first appearance of the airship are excellent!!
Watching this opening after finishing the pixel remaster made me realize that Cecil kinda looks like Sephiroth, Rydia kinda resembles Terra, and the Lunar Whale kinda reminds me of Tidus’ dad.
I wasn't born yet when this came out... and my first ever game was Tales of Zestiria. The ruins in that game... and the old concept of epic medieval battles and demons made me want to try the older FF games for a change when I saw this. The new FFs seem okay too... but, I mean, I love "medieval" fantasy not the techno-hype you see in newer games.
I played this game on the snes shortly after it came out. I remember reading the manual for hours going over every page. Still to this day I do believe it has the best storyline I have ever played. Even over part 6 and 7 and chrono trigger.
Final Fantasy 1 and 4 deserve the same loving remake treatment that Final Fantasy 7 received. Stranger of Paradise was a good start, delving into Garland's origins. Would be awesome for them to keep the ball rolling.
Have you guys ever noticed that crazy big titan in the background at 1:58 ? Despite having watched this opening many times back then, this is the first time I noticed the big fella.
It's good to see I'm not the only one playing that beautiful game. In fact I'm kind of shocked that my DSi XL still works after being left in a bag for 5 years.
Everything about this game just made me absolutely love the series wish they made games like this nowadays everything about it was different, and unique and no two characters were the same even shop owners had differnt personality s that is whay made this my favorite game of all times and this intro was just gold for the ds
That should be BS. People shouldn't spoil great histories to new commers, REGARDLESS of Time Period. Period (EG, it Will never be non hurtfull to spoil Casablanca, or Psycho to new people, Even if they're over 60 years old)
First final fantasy game I ever played as a young kid, which introduced me into the rest of the series, and RPG’s as a whole (although dragon warrior was the true first RPG I ever played). This Will always have a special place in my heart. And probably the best roster of characters ever made in any final fantasy game, period, with FF6 in second place to me
I remember this game was so hard that young me had to search up on internet to play on ds version. If there wasn’t walkthrough, I wouldn’t even go half. Finding ability is crazy hard.
Though my first Final Fantasy that I played was FF1, back in 1989. But when FFII came out in 1991 (I got it in '92), I was beyond stoked as an eight year old kid, I could play that game all Saturday long, as was only allowed by mother, she would make me play outside with friends or in the woods behind our house, where I/we would play fantasy scenarios under the trees.
Nossa eu amo essa opening mds q coisa linda Eu nem cheguei a zerar ff4, eu cheguei na parte q vc pega o cristal da terra e entrega pro kain pela Rose, se n me engano, dps eu perdi o save do jogo e desisti de jogar; apesar disso eu sempre entro aqui e vejo esse vídeo e sempre fico hypado pra jogar esse jogo... um dia ainda vou zerar ele
we all gotta take a time and really look back at all the FF series stories, battle, music, hero and villan they truly were a good story teller my childhood would not be complete without it
It never dawned on me just how much of a spoiler this intro video is, first time you watch it (assuming you didn't already know the plot) it just looks epic, but there's so many key story moments here. Cecil's class change, the Towers, Kain's betrayal, the Lunar Whale, Edge's vendetta with Rubricante, Rydia's very rapid aging.
Even though this game has been released so many different times on practically every console you can think of, I will always come back to the DS version if not for this intro alone. The atmosphere and emotion this opening radiates is just so beautiful, it captures the spirit of FF4 perfectly.
Final fantasy 4 has a special place in my heart, such a great game

For me, aside from XIV, IV has one of the best stories in the series, if not the best.

Final Fantasy 1 and 4 deserve the same loving remake treatment that Final Fantasy 7 received. Stranger of Paradise was a good start, delving into Garland's origins. Would be awesome for them to keep the ball rolling.
FF 4&6 are my favourites. ❤️ So many years playing this Saga...
Coming back to watch this after finishing post-Endwalker patches in XIV is so surreal. The nostalgia. FF4 has always been important to me
Im here after watching the newest FFXIV Trailer from Patch 6.4
The Golbez fight is gonna be crazy.
Have you guys ever noticed that crazy big titan in the background at 1:58 ? Despite having watched this opening many times back then, this is the first time I noticed the big fella.
Holy crap this was beautiful. am posting the pixel remastered version right now, and this gets me pumped
I would be so happy if ff4 got a proper remake. I adore this ff❤
Most memorable soundtracks in the whole series. Still remember this from 1992
このオープニング見る度になんか感動する😂
Believe it or not, I still have this game for my Nintendo DSi and it still works.
That's awesome
i’m playing it rn!!
@@harini3011 I am too, although it's on a modded 3DS
It's good to see I'm not the only one playing that beautiful game. In fact I'm kind of shocked that my DSi XL still works after being left in a bag for 5 years.
@@joshuabrown3525 DSis are SOMETHING ELSE
People always talk about how they survive an endless time
The first final fantasy game I played this game will always have a special place in my heart
IV is a timeless classic. Imo it pushed the series into elite gaming franchise tier
Everything about this game just made me absolutely love the series wish they made games like this nowadays everything about it was different, and unique and no two characters were the same even shop owners had differnt personality s that is whay made this my favorite game of all times and this intro was just gold for the ds
Pro tip: Don't get too attached to those twins.
😭😭😭
Nice way of telling us they die or some horrible shit happens to them 👍
@@tskcl2549 spoilers from 1991
That should be BS. People shouldn't spoil great histories to new commers, REGARDLESS of Time Period. Period
(EG, it Will never be non hurtfull to spoil Casablanca, or Psycho to new people, Even if they're over 60 years old)
First final fantasy game I ever played as a young kid, which introduced me into the rest of the series, and RPG’s as a whole (although dragon warrior was the true first RPG I ever played). This Will always have a special place in my heart.
And probably the best roster of characters ever made in any final fantasy game, period, with FF6 in second place to me
Hope this will have a remake in ps5. My first ff game
I'm ok with it. As long as they don't change the story. I'm in.
And PS4 Pro obviously. 😉
I mean it was already remade, twice.
It was my first ff too
@@altair8514 remake not remade. Like 7. But has to retain the original battle sequence and gameplay.
Played this game for hours as a kid loved it so much!!
This game and ff12 my first final fantasy games and will forever be special ❤
I remember this game was so hard that young me had to search up on internet to play on ds version. If there wasn’t walkthrough, I wouldn’t even go half. Finding ability is crazy hard.
I love FF! Amazing games that will always have a place in my heart
This intro is everything ❤❤❤
Looks like the RUclips algorithms have stuck again.
Though my first Final Fantasy that I played was FF1, back in 1989. But when FFII came out in 1991 (I got it in '92), I was beyond stoked as an eight year old kid, I could play that game all Saturday long, as was only allowed by mother, she would make me play outside with friends or in the woods behind our house, where I/we would play fantasy scenarios under the trees.
I miss the times when Final Fantasy would actually be a Final Fantasy.
This is what final fantasy truly is, full of fantasy and grand ost
Such a cool opening for this game!
これDSで見たなあ
綺麗だよね
Even the music is so nostalgic. I've never played this version of IV, or seen this opening before, but just hearing it is enough to bring me back.
my first final fantasy and it will forever be in my heart
this game was so good (and also really hard but i think i was also just young)
Nossa eu amo essa opening mds q coisa linda
Eu nem cheguei a zerar ff4, eu cheguei na parte q vc pega o cristal da terra e entrega pro kain pela Rose, se n me engano, dps eu perdi o save do jogo e desisti de jogar; apesar disso eu sempre entro aqui e vejo esse vídeo e sempre fico hypado pra jogar esse jogo... um dia ainda vou zerar ele
we all gotta take a time and really look back at all the FF series stories, battle, music, hero and villan they truly were a good story teller my childhood would not be complete without it
I love this opening and game so much.
El mejor opening de todo FINAL FANTASY 😍
Es bellísimo, estoy llorando
It never dawned on me just how much of a spoiler this intro video is, first time you watch it (assuming you didn't already know the plot) it just looks epic, but there's so many key story moments here. Cecil's class change, the Towers, Kain's betrayal, the Lunar Whale, Edge's vendetta with Rubricante, Rydia's very rapid aging.
1:39 best part 😍
Even though this game has been released so many different times on practically every console you can think of, I will always come back to the DS version if not for this intro alone. The atmosphere and emotion this opening radiates is just so beautiful, it captures the spirit of FF4 perfectly.
this is a masterpiece 😭💔
