Ah crap... I think I have to buy a DS for FFIV :(

[exindguy]

OK, I am *loving* this remake with a couple of caveats :

*Because the touchscreen activity is so banal, I'd have actually preffered this on the PSP (if they're not doing something novel with the controls like, say, Magical Starsign (which I *loved* for its touchscreen input), I'll take the aural and graphical fidelity of the PSP anyday or, better yet, put the damn re-makes on a bloody console!)

*I keep reading how this game is much harder than the SNES-original FF2/4 but I don't see it. Granted, I haven't played this far into the game since 1992, but it seems stupidly easy to me (I'm about 8 hours in and I'm just running over the game, and exploring every corner of every map as my gaming OCD demands).

Other than that, it's top-notch stuff and a good argument for Square-Enix to continue doing ground-up re-makes (too bad Chrono Trigger is mostly a 1:1 port after playing this).

So, yes, do go buy a DS to play this and then get into the massive catalogue of games you've been missing for years now!

Note: I'm terribly biased towards FFIV (favorite SE game of all time) but damn if I'm not loving nearly every minute of it.
