April 2025
The story is good, continuing from where the main game ended, with all the familiar places and characters. However, this game is difficult and frustrating, and takes way too much time. There are no adjustments and no cheats to make the battles easier, so much grinding is necessary just to progress. I recommend for those that like a challenge. I do not recommend for those that just want the story - just watch a 'letsplay' instead.

Game was over twice as long as the FFIV 3D Remake, but really tied several characters stories together nicely as well as added a sizable array of new characters to boot. Runs great on steam deck. The only downside I found was that if the game is force closed (not exited normally) it may not save the progress you made, and by progress you made I mean saves/autosaves/completed tales. Make sure to close the game normally.

An interesting sequel of Final Fantasy IV. It feels more like an expansion than a sequel. The story seemed quite basic to me but it was worth buying to revisit the Final Fantasy IV world. I found the concept of arcs for each character refreshing. The final dungeon was quite painful, but so was the original in the ds version. It played perfectly in Linux with proton, no tweaks needed.

The game is a clever add on to the best Final Fantasy (IMO), and it gives a great ending and conclusion to the game. It can be lengthy at times, but I love how the game focuses more on some other characters that didn't get as much screen time in the last game. Rydia and Edge especially do well in this game, as well as Kain. This is their game, whereas the first one was about Cecil and Rosa's romance.

Look, if you're expecting a high quality experience like every other main game, you're gonna be disappointed. This is a Wii remake of a mobile game, and a lot of the story is rehashed from IV for nostalgia purposes. All the music is the same from the original, and the episodic format can make it a bit harder to feel invested in the story. But it's otherwise a fine game, and I do enjoy the new combat mechanics
