Brief: This looks good and promising. For those who like to explore dungeons. Maybe even those who doesn’t like Dragon Quest. But who am I kidding. Everybody loves Dragon Quest. I will still give this a try. If it dare to release close to Dragon Quest then it should be either good enough or so bad that the publisher just doesn’t care.

Full Name: Final Fantasy IV
Rom Number: 2623
Game Region: Europe
Rom Size: 1024Mbit
Release Date: 2 Sep 2008
Published by: Square Enix
Developed by: Square Enix
Genre: RPG

Brief: Who doesn’t like Final Fantasy series? Perhaps only those with very short attention span that want to have nothing to do with slow moving RPG games. The majority who have played it will profess on their love for this series that save Square Soft virtually from closing down to the top games developer today. Final Fantasy series are not only pushing the boundary of graphics for each of their release but also delivering in terms of contents especially hard to do in RPGs.

This is Final Fantasy IV which was released long time ago. I have not played it during it’s time so I am going to pick this up and give it a spin. I just hope there are not too much talking. Dialogs that you can’t skip is really bothersome for me. But hey, it’s Final Fantasy and I am going to give it a try no matter what.

Description: Four elemental Crystals, each possessing awesome power, lie scattered throughout the realm. However, men are quick to covet things which offer strength, and easily corrupted by the might which they possess…

Seduced by the promised power of the Crystals, the kingdom of Baron begins employing unprovoked force to seize them from peaceful nations. The dark knight Cecil – Lord Captain of Baron’s elite force, the Red Wings – is ordered by his king to obtain the Crystals, but soon begins to question the monarch’s motives. Stricken with grief at his own actions, yet burdened by his loyalty to his country and his personal sense of honor, Cecil at last decides to turn from the path of darkness and destruction.

Enraged, the king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist. Cecil embarks on a fateful journey that will bring trials, betrayals, friendship, loss and self-discovery. Can Cecil open his eyes and become the man of honor that he must be?
