Really? I enjoyed it enough that I'm happilly playing through it a second time on my The Complete Collection copy. Yes, I have issues with it (the fact that it reuses SO many of the first game's maps and such) but it introduces a lot that is new, I think.
My issue stems from both being anti-FF sequel, cause I feel it destroys the point of the franchise's early days, but more importantly, I felt FFIV didn't need a sequel. Storywise, I still don't feel the game was necessary and mostly shameless fan service. Its still fun and I do get a kick out of it, but the wannabe writer in me feels TAY is just milking old ideas for quick cash.

I don't deny the game's quality, and I do enjoy playing as Golbez and Ceodore, seeing what the Mysidian Twins are up to 10+ years later; but I kind of feel at the end of the day, the game didn't present to me, anything that added to FFIV. Course I'm bias in all this, like I said before, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
