Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Final Fantasy IV DS Remake : Insert wity comment here...
Posts
Graphics are great, cutscenes are beautiful, voicework is impressive, enemies are tons harder, there's new obscure shit to collect, two new superbosses, and it might motivatee Square-Enix to make an FF6 remake.
The Augment system is a nice addition as well. It opens up a lot of new and different tactics, which is really handy 'cause a lot of the bosses are a lot harder. I've had my whole party killed in one shot by lots of enemies (including a few random encounter ones). Overall I like the pacing though. I never feel like I'm too overpowered, nor do I ever feel like I'm really lacking. Even against bosses that can seemingly insta-kill you there are ways to win.
It does, but also I think most ss you see of the game are magnified vs what you see looking at a ds screen when you are holding one.
I am a freaking nerd.
Also a new translation, a cutscene viewer, a sound test, extra story line scenes (although off-hand I can just remember one thing near the beginning of the game), and one of the most annoying sidequests ever with one of the best rewards ever (an augment that allows you to avoid random battles; although you do need to be properly levelled to survive the game, so use sparingly).
And yeah, the game is pretty fluid in motion. Your guys still attack from where they stand, but the attack animations are varied, critical hits hit with oomph, and all the weapons and shields have their own little polygon models.
Plus the summons look great. They easily rival FF7's, and for a portable system using non-cd media format, that's pretty impressive.
iPhone. I'm calling it.
That would be nice - I would buy them for my Touch in a heartbeat.
Fixed. Persona 3 prequel game, I'm looking at you
I am a freaking nerd.
I ALWAYS forget where you buy it.
Use to happen to me in the SNES days too.
Which building?
I swear my mind is running around in circles on this.
The money I got.
Ah got it!
Thanks.
The B button is becoming tougher to push and less responsive. I can't picture myself "cancelling too much," so I'm not sure how this is happening.
Probably the most important thing to know is about who to give augments to. Some of the temporary characters give very good augments if you give them some before they leave your party, but of course you don't want to waste your good augments, so it's good to know what you can give away, and what you should keep on your main characters. The augment guide in the op is pretty good in this respect, imo.
Alright, Im not sure if I'm fucking something up here.
Moon ending spoilers-
Did I miss something here? Did I just skip a massive dungeon or something? The hell?
What level are you? I didn't find them very hard, except those giant titan guys that you may have encountered. Fuck them.
cecil is 54. lowest character is 51.
Like those fucking fire panther things. I loved when they'd come in packs of 2 or 3 and they'd all use that fire attack and fuck why can't I run nooooo
HAHAHA, I know!

Me: Fuck, that took a big chunk

Me: Fuck this game. /shuts off
Indeed, Defend is godly in this game.
Final Dungeon start tomorrow...
Granted, you would theoretically lose Phoenix unless you gave Cry to someone else, and it would still take at least three to four turns to pull off, but it can be done.
Phoenix can be given to edge as well. Phoenix + Hide works just as well as Phoenix + jump. Also, while hiding, Edge can still use throw, which is arguably more powerful then standard attacks anyways. Just a bit more expensive.

It's much easier to get the Treasure Hunter augment then farm Flan Princesses if you have the stardusts/sirens.
Its much QUICKER to farm the yellow ones in the Antlion Cave. But then again, I guess "quick" is relative. I got my Rainbow Pudding after killing 200 Yellow Jelly's.
And on working your way down into the final dungeon just take it little by little restoring and saving at the Crystal Palace.
Sorceress - Turn them into Toads. They very rarely resist the spell and it stops their casting.
Moonmaiden - Omnicast Blink on the party.
Blue/Red Dragons - Dual+Omnicast Berserk on the Dragons, so they wont use their Frost/Fire Spells, and
then cast Blink on the party. Stop works on the Blue ones I know for a fact. Not sure
about the reds.
Giant Red Robots - RUN. lol. really, they just aren't worth it until after you've leveled and gotten the gear.
Undead Dragon Thingies - Omnicast Blink on the party and just melee it down. I think it counters Fire spells
with one of its own.
Silver/Gold Dragon Combo - Dual+Omniccast Haste and Blink on the party. Both Dragons are vulnerable to
Stop
Behemoths - Dualcast Haste and Blink on the party and then Slow on the Behemoth. Counters offensive
magic with Maelstrom.
I think that's all the troublesome ones. Lil' Murderers and the Yellow eyeball thingies shouldn't be a problem.
Draw attacks + counter + stardust in first slot on Cecil = Dead Princesses in 3 enemy turns (they attack very fast). Siren means you don't have to wander and every fight is against them. Yellows have .4% chance to drop versus 1% with the princess. There is also the added benefit of getting pink tails for the adamant armor. The only downside is that stardusts and sirens are expensive so you're spending 15000 per fight.
