This is my second favorite Final Fantasy game. I have won this on several different consoles. And I was able to win it again on PC. I highly recommend this game. I rate this game a 5 out of 5.

Other than that it's... well it just is, they tried to combine too much together and I couldn't really get into the story or the setting. Land of Summons almost balanced it out for me, as it just look nice and with every other location ending with plot becoming grander and grander, every location getting destroyed and needing to be revisited (look at the destruction, so sad *sob* *sob*) it was nice to see something "artistic" (I'm sucker for those 2D graphics imitating 3D with moving elements) and chill

I don't think it added anything to the series that wasn't there already, just refined the basics... and for me it's not enough. The story is there, the combat is at times challaning, but overall smooth, it lacks some puzzles like the portals in FF1 or underground maze in FF2 that shifted the gameplay from brainles autofights for 20h straight to a moment of focus

Art is georgeus, with dragons looking less menacing yet somehow better, but the soundtrack still can't beat ff1 banger underwater (chaos) temple (it's most likely the best in whole series and they dropped it so soon ruining everything else for me)

Once again every character death was funny, sprites jumping or spinning to show emotions outside the text descriptions will never not be hilarious, just like all the goofy "cutscenes" that last five minutes but could be summed up in two lines and convey as much info, saving the precious data space on cartridge xd

It's good if you plan to play all the pixel remasters, as an entry point it's meh, and if you want story, while it tries to add more of it, there is as much as in FF1 and FF2 but more dramatic, more looking at each other walking around and looking at each other to make it even more dramatic and dialogues that explain what will happen in next three seconds just like in mockumentaries and they don't even convey any emotions or struggles that those characters go through, they are there for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles
There are times when different poses are used well and it helps get the point through... but those are few and far between

The ending was god awful. Final boss was super annoying to fight. If you die, you have to go back 15 min and watch it all over again. I over leveled my guys and even then, after 4 tries I couldnt take him out so nope, just watched the end on youtube. The story over all was ok, not great. Not sure why people go nuts over this game. SPOILER... should have been called FF4: Dont bother leveling anyone early... they will leave, or die. Currently I'm doing a playthrough of every ff game and so far... 3 has been the best. Lets hope 5 is a little better than 4! They biffed it at the end here. Gotta say too, it was weird to going from turned based to the ATB bar. I know there is a big discorse over turn and atb saying its all just turned based but unless youre in a menue that lets it pause... sure isnt turn based. So far... modern FF has been taking the cake. 7 remakes and 16 are goated.
