I ended up buying a DS this past weekend along with FF3 and FF4...it felt weird hearing voice-overs on graphics that are on-par with FF9...dunno why...what little I played of 4, the story does seem promising...but there is DEFINITELY a change in the way they (Square) did things from FF3 to FF4. The only thing I wish is for a way to play them on a bigger screen. I already can't wait to hook it up to my 2.1 400W computer sound-system with 10" subwoofer...lol...HUGE sound, tiny screen...
