As far as makeovers go, I can't help but feel a little disturbed about this one. Despite the sexy growth spurt, Rydia is still technically supposed to be a child stuck in an adult body. While it's still debatable whether her underground training had time flow slowly for her (years in the cave=a few days on the surface) or instantly (a few days=rapidly aging body), I've always believed it to be the former, based on her dialog that suggested surprise in her sudden growth. Plus, most of her dialog in adult form still sounds child-like, especially her disinterest with Edge. I just feel SE is opening a can of worms with this one.
But on the other hand, it's a beautiful redesign, and far above Amano's original abortion. Rydia has always been one of my all time favorite FF characters, and has one of the most tragic stories in the entire series (the main hero killed her
mother). If this DS remake expands on her, giving some extra story details and expanding her relationship with Cecil and Rosa (who she both looked up to as surrogate parents), then it'll be worth buying this game for the fourth time in a row.
Also, Rydia and Rosa are doing a double attack. That was something I wanted to see in the FFVII remake, so now there's hope.
Anyway, FFIV DS discussion thread. Or, we could continue talking about how awesome Rydia is.
Just remember, she's still technically underage.

Also, she's not a child in an adults body, time is accelerated in the monster world, so she's just older. Also

how many times are you going to remake the same damn games
I'm more upset about the constant "Where is this WIND coming from!?" effect they've done with her hair in sprite form.

And most of us seemed to give it a :^:
As many times as people keep buying them.
Which is why I won't be buying FFIV
also, this
She's summoning the wind, duh.
Also, Rosa is fairly boobtacular in this version. Not that I'm complaining.
It's more showing that all of the character design flaws that people accuse the more recent FF games of having were just as present in the earlier games, but you just couldn't tell because they're just tiny horribly misproportioned sprites in-game.
It's been rehosted in the other thread. Which also has a release date for the game, and a discussion of whether putting the word boobs in the title increases views. (hint:boy does it ever)
Once I figure out how to close threads here.

Just wait, and it'll fade into the lifestream. Or a mod will lock it. either way.
