I just found this by DJzen and it's amazing.

Come one people, the game was/ is horrible.

[KentaRawr!]

Well, I didn't play much of the game, but what I DID play I did not like. >_<

[Necronopticous]

Regardless of whether or not you liked the game doesn't make it good or horrible, I quite liked Final Fantasy IV and it will forever be an icon of my childhood. Final Fantasy IV was as technically amazing as any of the titles coming out today in the series for its time. I can still, and do still, play this game from beginning to end and have a lot of fun doing it, graffiti on the wall of RPGs? Maybe, but I quite like graffiti art as well.

[Sasquatch]

Agreed. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad. FFIV was not only a popular game, but it was somewhat revolutionary. Sure, bad graphics, you have to expect that from the time it was put out and such, and you can't be one of the masses who think a game with bad graphics is automatically a bad game. Great gameplay, storyline, characters/development...it's a credit to RPGs.

[DJZen]

I love the game, personally. The plot seems a little rushed, but it's very fun to play.

Just a little backstory on that image. I've been known to call Cecil a "boyscout" before, so this picture is meant ironically.

[TheAbominatrix]

FFIV was an amazing game. Its hardly 'graffiti' on any prestigous walls... especially compared to some of the horribly implemented RPGs that have come out.

[Meat Puppet]

Can anyone else hear that spraycan?

[Raven Nox]

FFIV was one of my first video games, and my first FF, I've played it when I was 4, and still play it. It may not be my favorite FF, but it's still not a bad game, and 'cause it was my first FF, I have respect for it. Without this game I probably wouldn't like video games, and that would be a sad existence.

[Gwelenguchenkus]

Maybe I'm stupid,


but I have been staring at that graffiti for a long time, and I STILL don't have a damn clue what that says. The last letter.. kind of looks like a Z.

[Raven Nox]

I have no clue what it says either... so don't feel bad... I didn't try though, only 'cause I knew no matter how hard I looked, I wouldn't be able to read it... Yeah, the last letter is probably a z...

[Gwelenguchenkus]

Wait! I figured it out. It says Cecil. That took a large stretch of my mind though.

[Raven Nox]

It does? *looks harder* Well... with very bad spelling...

[Gwelenguchenkus]

It's really hard to see.. there are a lot of 'thingies' going out of the letters, and the 'c' is cut off by soe other odd character.. and the E is barely readable, but it's all there. The 'Z' at the end is actually just an L with a 'thingie' sticking out of the back end, and the letter before that looks like a capital 'I'.

It definitely takes some imagination.

[My name is...something..?]

Oh, I see it now!!!
Thanks, I was desparately trying to figure it out!

[Captain Maxx Power]

This is why I don't like graffitti, mainly because it's usually illegiable to the point of frustration. "Leaving your mark on society" my ass! Who's going to know who did it if you're the only one who can read it?

As for FF4, it ain't so bad. Sure the sprites were ripped straight from the NES FFs, yes the storyline was contrived and rushed, and maybe the battle system wasn't up to the high standards of the previous/proceeding titles, but hey it's got Kain for crying out loud! What more do you want?

[Chris]

You guys are right, just because I didn't like the game doesn't mean that it's bad by any means. I am sorry. :)

[Dignified Pauper]

Yea, this game was not bad at all... The translated dialogue was HORRID, but the plotline and over-all game was actually quite amazing.

[Apollo]

I luff this game. :love:
I thought for the most part it was Absolutely great.
That's my opinion anways. :)

[Shauna]

Haven't played much of FF4... But what I have played, I liked. :D

[DJZen]

Oh come on, it's not THAT bad, and yes, it says Cecil. It's just a font I found on the internet. I believe the name is Degrassi. It's a lot easier to read if it's static. As far as grafitti goes, though, this is pretty tame.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I rather enjoyed FFIV, it was my first FF and is probably one of my favorites.

[Del Murder]

FFIV is one of my favorites ever. I have probably replayed it more than any game.

[rubah]

I don't really like ff4 that much. I blame it being all medieval and stuff.

That doesn't mean it was *bad* though. It's just my least favoritexD

[JFA_bobguy]

I thought FFIV was one of the better titles in the series...for the same reason rubah thought otherwise. xD; I like medieval-type stuff. Technology and RPGs just don't mix that well in my eyes.

[KoShiatar]

I LOVE this game.

[crashNUMBERS]

Lol...

[Butz]

I loved FF4, I played it twice and took my time playing it, I remember I leveled up too much I killed the final boss in 3 or 4 rounds :D

BTW, I love graffiti :love:

[MushroomZOMBIE]

:lol:

[Sasquatch]

I like medieval-type stuff. Technology and RPGs just don't mix that well in my eyes.

Ditto. For me, it's the guns...not like much of the damage is realistic, but guns just ain't right, unless they do an extreme amount of damage.

[XxSephirothxX]

I think RPGs are better on the whole in a fantasy/medieval setting. That's probably why I love FFIX more than any other RPG, with FFVI and the Golden Sun games coming in behind it. I'm trying to decide if I should play IV, V (which I started months ago) Tactics, or Lunar 2 next. Thankfully, they're all pretty fantasy-based. :D

[GarlandRules]

Well, I would reccomend FFIV but I played the English translation of the Japaneese ROM; I started to play the English version, and compared to the other version I played, this one isn't as good.

[The Unknown Guru]

i love FFIV. It was my first Final Fantasy game, and I am still trying to beat it (probably because I hate training :whimper: ). I think the story is one of the best i have ever seen, beating Golden Sun and coming very close to Chrono Trigger and FFVI.

[nik0tine]

I loved FFIV. It was a great game.

[Slade]

I like FFIV and I like Graffiti. End of story

[Dreddz]

Come one people, the game was/ is horrible.
What you on ?

[Momiji]

*draws Crystal Sword*

Don't knock t3h FFIV, Chris... It is actually one of my favorites...a masterpiece in my eyes.

[Grindspine]

a) I like Final Fantasy IV (or II NES or IVAdvance GBA)

b) I like graf, and am insulted by this thread.
