What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
While, like always, I don’t want to say too much to the story, FF IV is so far my favorite.
Its mechanics are very streamlined, progression is very straightforward, the story and characters are interesting enough to keep it engaging from start to finish while also being challenging enough to prevent it from getting stale.
The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, it’s really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day.
The graphics have been given a complete makeover and they are GORGEOUS, a complete upgrade from the SNES original which had inferior graphics to later games like FFVI and V.
Sure, the Pixel Remaster lacks a few of the advantages of other versions, such as the extra dungeons/bosses/equipment and party swapping from the Advance and PSP versions, and the devilishly fun weapon/shield duplication glitch from the Super Nintendo version, but it's still well worth the price overall.
Supports keyboard as well as controller.
