I didn't love Final Fantasy 4 as much as 6 and 7, but still found great enjoyment in the story, characters, and the ever-reliable ATB combat system. Maximum inventory limits remain a pain, as does the lack of separation between regular items and key quest items, both issues that would be improved in those later entries. Even so, I still didn't regret my time with this one. I did have to do a little grinding to beat the final boss, but still felt a sense of achievement either way. I'd recommend playing this before some of the later entries, as your mileage may vary with going back to those more frustrating elements.
