Every Final Fantasy fan has their favorite game from the series. Hell, some even break the franchise down into two eras, pre and post-PlayStation. For myself and good percentage of the FF fanbase, Final Fantasy IV (II in the U.S.) is that game. The story was deep, the characters memorable and well-developed, and the graphical leap from the NES to the SNES made it the prettiest version of the game to date. Now Square Enix has upgraded FFIV in the same fashion as they did FFIII precious, bringing the game to the Nintendo DS with new graphics, voice overs, and new mechanics to keep things fresh. Remakes of classic games are often a dangerous proposition, risking alienating fans of the original games in order to attract new players. For this week's Frankenreview we've gathered opinions from RPG-centric sites along with the more mainstream gaming press to see how Final Fantasy IV measures up. RPGamer It is disappointing, then, that while the characters are tweaked to update and strengthen their personalities and motives, the main story and its transitional events are left entirely untouched.

Eén van de meeste opmerkelijke nieuwtjes van de voorbije E3 was zonder twijfel de komst van Final Fantasy XIII naar de Xbox 360. Dat de game plots cross-platform gaat is volgens Peter Dille, een PlayStation marketingdude, niets om je over op te winden: "What you have with Final Fantasy XIII is a lot like what [Microsoft] paid for with GTA IV. It's not an exclusive on their platform. It's now a cross-platform game," "Consumers responded to GTA IV on the PS3 just as they did on the 360... And I think if you fast forward to when Final Fantasy XIII comes out I think you're going to have millions of people who grew up playing Final Fantasy on the PlayStation playing it on a PlayStation 3. "They spent a lot of money, I'm sure, to get Final Fantasy onto the 360, but at the end of the day it's on our platform as well." Dille vertelt ook dat, wanneer ontwikkelaars een "global return" willen voor hun games, ze uiteindelijk toch voor de PS3 kiezen: "If you look at the global footprint, PlayStation 3 dominates in Japan where the 360 is really irrelevant. In Europe, the PlayStation 3 is already past the 360. And in the United States you have a dogfight," added Dille. "So back to the third-party community, they're looking at what's going on, they're realigning their development resources to exploit PS3 and I think they understand that if they want to have a global return on their investment, PlayStation 3 is the only place they're going to get ...

One of the most (if not the only one) remarking news flashes during E3 was without a doubt the announcement of a Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 version. That the game goes cross-platform now is not something to get angry about, according to Peter Dille, a Playstation marketingdude: "What you have with Final Fantasy XIII is a lot like what [Microsoft] paid for with GTA IV. It's not an exclusive on their platform. It's now a cross-platform game," "Consumers responded to GTA IV on the PS3 just as they did on the 360...

"They spent a lot of money, I'm sure, to get Final Fantasy onto the 360, but at the end of the day it's on our platform as well." Dille also said that when developers want a global return on their investment, they'll eventually choose the PS3: "If you look at the global footprint, PlayStation 3 dominates in Japan where the 360 is really irrelevant. In Europe, the PlayStation 3 is already past the 360. And in the United States you have a dogfight," added Dille. "So back to the third-party community, they're looking at what's going on, they're realigning their development resources to exploit PS3 and I think they understand that if they want to have a global return on their investment, PlayStation 3 is the only place they're g ...

To: Ash From: Crecente Yesterday I ran out mid-morning to pick up a coffee and some allergy medicine. Somehow in the process of buying coffee I ended up with two volumes of The Super Mario Bros Super Show in my hand. I'm not quite sure how it even happened. One second I was milling about waiting for a hazelnut breve, the next, bam, bad 80s Mario cartoons. At least they were $12 for two. So I'm checking out with my bundle of stuff and when I go to scan the two DVDs and alert comes up telling the cashier that she has to ID me... for Super Mario Bros cartoons. I make a joke about how they must now be IDing for horrible animation and bad acting, but she continued to give me the stink eye as she checked my ID and glared at what I suspect she thought was kiddie porn.

This week's edition of the regular Critical Reception column examines online reaction to Square Enix's Final Fantasy IV, a Nintendo DS remake that reviews alternately describe as "one fantastic role-playing title," and "needlessly redundant." Originally released in Japan in 1991 (and followed shortly thereafter by a U.S. release as Final Fantasy II), Square Enix's Final Fantasy IV set a high early standard for 16-bit RPGs, and has remained a fan favorite in the years since. ... ...
