I played the original Final Fantasy IV when it was called Final Fantasy II on the SNES, I've played the translated Japanese version, I've played the PS version, and I've played the GBA version. And currently I am playing the NDS version. How many times can Square Enix remake this game before it gets too old and stops making profit for them? I have no idea, because oddly each time I play it I still enjoy it as much as the time before. You could say this was the game that turned me into a RPG fan.
This time though it really was graphically enhanced. It's not super nice graphics, but it's quite impressive and awwing to see FFIV in this new graphic. The game opening cinematics are actually very nice. It would've been nice to see the entire game like that, but I guess that would've been too hard for the DS? Don't ask me, I'm not programmer, just a gamer. I still remember seeing Cecil closing his mask as he walks out of Baron castle. I was like wh0a! the details are amazing!
.
The other big difference between this DS version is that there are augments, which are basically other skills from characters that leave the party (sometimes skills from bosses). They range from Yang's Kick to Edward's Bardsongs to Rubicante's Inferno. I'm sure you get the idea if you've played any of the previous FFIV's. Augments do add slight strategy on making your characters even better, but I would say overall it has made parts of the game much easier.
A minor difference (well some might not consider it minor, but I think it's minor) is that they added cutscenes that don't use original dialogue from the previous versions. So you could say it's new content. I personally like it, since it gives the characters more life/connecting with the characters.
I'm a Final Fantasy fanboy, so of course I would recommend this game to anyone who is thinking about it or just likes RPG's. It's a great classic that has been given a make over - which makes it even better. Don't even get me started on how excited I am about FF XIII coming out for the Xbox 360, and I don't even own a PS3!
