Just beat Final Fantasy IV on the PSP. I have to say, all of the SNES games are amazing even though this is the only one out of the trilogy that I've beaten) and I know I'm going to regret saying this, but this has to be my favorite main Final Fantasy game. It seems to be one of the few RPGs that knows how to level a character. Every boss was difficult to fight (to a point), but I think I only died to two of them (not counting the corador at the end of the game that is filled with boss level monsters).
The game does have it's flaws. For one, almost no one knows how to die. Two examples being when Spoiler:Rydia (the green haired girl), Edward, and Yang fall off the boat when Laviathon attacks but they all come back later and Spoiler:Palom and Porom when they turned themselves to stone to protect the team from a crushing room, which I thought was going to be a side quest to save them, but nope. They come back near the end of the game with a "We're alright. The master destoned us offscreen." BS answer.. Also, the story has the same problem that II and V had of the villain is always ahead. We have the next crystal, oh no we don't any more. We found an underground passage, oh no they are already down there. We have an airship, oh no it's blown up. You don't really start winning until near the end.
Still I liked it. Like I said, gameplay is good and most of the charicters I didn't hate (aside from Edward being next to useless in battle and Edge being a prick when he opens his mouth. Even Golbez, who, as a character, is kinda boring and one dimensional, I kinda liked where they were going with him in the end, and it made me appreciate his character in Dissidia a bit more. Really it's a solid game that holds up really well.
I kinda want to continue on with The After Years, but I'm kinda burnt out with the game, and from what I hear, they added in something that involves the moon phases, which kinda makes me want to wait a little bit before jumping in again.
