Even then it's still obvious V is miles ahead of IV. Monsters are far more detailed, characters looked sharper and more defined instead of being big and blocky, dungeons were far more detailed too, especially if it was a cave-type, spells were richer and more fluid in animation, and lets not forget the awesomesouce of graphical power that was NeoExDeath's battlebackground.

No, really, do people actually pay attention to V? What, so the characters in IV and V are both 16x16 pixels on the map, so that means V was no big leap ahead or something? Please. I know V's always been the black SNES sheep with people saying it sucks in everything but gameplay, but common, the graphical superiority of V is CLEARLY noticable. Caves actually look like caves, not square corridors with rock textures.

I just don't get it. =/
