    TAY does feel a bit... tacked on... But it's still enjoyable. And the ending is a bit of a shocker. Yes, the addition of all of those previous bosses from various FF games feels a bit much, but at least there is a perfectly logical reason for it. Besides, it makes it feel as if finally all the FF games are connected in some way. Or at least all the "old school" FF games. I had geeky giggles of fan-ish-ness when those bosses spoke of the other FF characters and stories.

    I'm really looking forward to this new "bridge" chapter.

    Hell, I would play ANOTHER game set on this world using the exact same dungeons if need be. Just so long as it either took place during KluYa/FuSoYa's time or millenia after TAY where Cecil and the rest are but legends.

    I feel one of the reasons the 'golden age' (as you put it) FF titles were so good is because they created them as stand alone titles that were completely self contained.

    IMO the idea that they can just create sequels or just tack on to an existing work is leading to lazy writing.

    I just bought a PSP in preperation for this... Yes, I'm that obsessed with FFIV.
    Okay, that's a lie. I also bought it for Ys 7.

    Been playing this for a few days and I have to admit I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The most amazing aspect is that the complete, original score is available in the menu, SNES filters and everything, to play through the game with. I like leaving it on for a while but when I go back to the new arrangement... it's hard to go back. I'm a purest, I'll always love FFIV as it was, but the new arrangement is amazing.

    The press kit I got says that it's in high-definition. They may be using some stretch of the term for that, but it does look amazing. I was really skeptical because I didn't particularly like the I & II PSP remakes, even though I didn't play through them, but I'm totally loving the new style here. Seeing how detailed the castle walls are is insane, and having little effects like shadows, rays of light in open towns, and all the little things is crazy. The PSP has a great screen and it really comes through here with how amazing the battle effects look, especially stuff like Fira. I don't think watching a youtube vid could do it justice.

    I don't know for sure if it's the best version. The GBA was my first and I think I'll always like it the most because it really just is a tuned up SNES version. But this is really giving it a run for its money.

    I haven't tried The After Years (never played before) or the Interlude but I'm looking forward to them. I don't know if I would buy this if I didn't get a review copy, but at $30 and 2 extra games, it's a pretty great deal.

    Not surprisingly, this PSP remake is as hideous as the other two.

    It looks like it was made in RPGMaker or something. My eyes are actually bleeding.

    I don't have much to add to this.

    Well, which is it? It doesn't sound like the two of you are talking about the same game.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I don't know about Justy, but for me it is a reflection of the art style, not the quality of graphics.

    Yeah basically. Just look at the characters faces in the menu.
