I played this game a LOT for having never owned it. Kept borrowing it from a friend.
It’s a fun game, with a story that is suitably Final Fantasyish all the way.
For the first 16 bit game in the series, Nobuo Uematsu went absolutely nuts with the score. So me of his best. I’m particularly fond of the airship and Big Whale themes.
Graphically, it’s what you’d expect from an early SNES rpg. They are not bad, far from it…just outstripped by the end of the SNES’ lifespan.
But they are bright, colorful and clean.
I just recently started a new playthrough (which is what prompted me to write this) and I was harmed all over again by this game. FF6 may be my favorite game in the series, but 4 holds a special place in my heart.
If you’ve never played it, by not give it a try? Or one of the other multitude of releases of it? Just not the GBA version. It’s not bad…but they altered the story so much to fit in the extra stuff they added that they ruined the impact of some key moments in the story. But the PS1 version in the Anthology is fine, the DS remake of 4 is actually pretty amazing, but kind of harder because you are cut down to 3 characters at a time from 5.
But the SNES outing is perfect just as is.
Enjoy gaming, my friends
