Final Fantasy IV is, in my opinion, the worst mainline Final Fantasy. Every time I try and play through this thing I am bored to death by the story and gameplay. No other game in the series just makes me want to do anything else while i'm playing it. The story is a generic trope filled snooze-fest and the gameplay ain't much better. It doesn't help that the pixel remake actively makes the game so much easier than earlier releases. This is the only case where I recommend playing a different version of the game if you have to play it.

The remade soundtrack is beautiful and definitely the highlight of the remakes, but I am not a huge fan of this game's music. All the other Final Fantasy games soundtracks I love but this one is eh. Boss theme is great but apart from that they're either annoying or just get stale fast.

This is all my opinion, if you love FFIV that's great, I'm happy for you, I just can't get behind this entry in the series.
