Having played both the original Japanese and US versions years ago, this was a trip down a rather hazy memory lane. For those who are new to this gem in the series, it follows the fortunes of Cecil the dark knight and his fellow adventurers as they battle an unknown evil. As far as I know, this was the first Japanese RPG of its kind with a strong story driven edge and it encouraged you to become emotionally attached to your characters.Admittedly, by today's standards it is a simplistic game with a simple storyline, but it works very well on a handheld. Despite the random battle encounter system, it is possible to fly through the game and hence see the story unfold at good pace.Deliberately spending time to level up your characters does make the game easier, however it is not necessary.For fans, there is of course the additional source material to note. The Lunar Ruins, a new dungeon, is open to you after you run through the original story. I also enjoyed being able to play through the late stages of the game with characters that were not originally part of the final five.One caveat though. The original US release of this game was supposedly plagued with gameplay debilitating bugs. As far as I know, most of these were sorted out with the EU release. I only have the EU version. My only gripe is the slightly laggy battle system. It is not a deal breaker though and the game can be competently played through with battle speed settings set to low.If you want to compare to other RPGs for GBA/DS, it is a more fluid albeit simplified experience than the great Golden Sun and more satisfying in content than FF:Dawn of Souls. In my opinion it also has a higher challenge than the other RPGs as well (as long as you don't abuse the levelling up potential). I rate the game as 4 stars because I loved the original. It's not a 5 in my book because that is really only reserved for FF6 when it arrives.

i used to play alot of rpgs, some of my favourite include FFVIII and the more recent Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata. recently i've just been a little 'off' towards rpg's and really couldn't be bothered with it all.however i found FFIV at gamestation for a nifty £4.99 so decided to buy it for a rainy day, that rainy day was yesterday! i switched on the game and i was hooked before the opening sequence even ended. the music, the plot, the emotion, the villains...wow! this is what gaming is all about for me and FFIV surely delivers in all departments. so i've just ordered FFV and FFVI for the GBA, i've heard that these are better then IV, i can't wait!the point is...this is a greeeeeeeeeat game!!!and if you enjoy being apart of a captivating story full of twists, sidequests and great characters then this is the game for you, if you don't want any of those then your on the wrong page...go buy halo or need for speed lol!10/10, 100%, 5 STARS....

Final Fantasy IV is better than Final Fantasy VII. There, I said it. I certainly find IV has more entertaining characters, cooler music (oh, how ace the music is!) and is just more fun than VII. I feel the exact opposite of the other reviewer - I find the newer FF's have more wandering around and dull bits.From the moment you fire up your GameBoy Advance (or DS, or in my case Micro), and the Red Wings airships fly along to the absolutely incredible.[...] Remember this is a game that's over 15 years old. The soundtrack really is one of the best aspects of the game, and was done by the same guy who did the majority of FF soundtracks.It may not be the prettiest or longest RPG anymore,but it's certainly well worth a go. And with V and VI coming out soon (I, II and Tactics are out already) you'll have plenty of old-school RPGing to look forward to if you're a Squaresoft fan.

If you've played any Final Fantasy game prior the almightily popular FFVII you'll know what this is about, if not you'll probably find it boring.This was the first Final Fantasy game to have true sidequests and a post plot super dungeon. You can complete the main game in no time, but to complete the Lunar Ruins with all characters to obtain 100% completion.Loads of great weapons and armour, a decent plot, the opportunity to explore an overworld, underworld, and even the moon this game has shades of the Final Fantasy VIII story.Do not expect amazing graphics, do expect hours of gameplay, an accurate port of the original, and if you yearn to complete all the Final Fantasy games in the series,you'll buy this regardless of the reviews.It's not my favourite, but i prefer it to the FF1 & 2 pack that's also available for the gameboy.

ignore the other idiot, this game is awesome it has a really cool plot and is one of my favourite rpgs. of course it isnt going to have good graphics or sound its over ten years old. this is without a doubt one of the best games ever.how anyone can complain about this game being too short is beyond me cause if you wasnt to get the most powerful weapons and magiks then be prepared for long and hard quests.10/10 gameplay10/10 soundtrack11/10 plot9/10 replayability
