Hmm, been weighing up a 3DS purchase this christmas, just wondering how much is this game like FFIV on DS? Haven't finished it yet but I've quite liked it so far, mainly wondering how long BD is and also how grindy it is

It's much more like Four Heroes of Light + Final Fantasy V (at least on it's job system), than FFIV on DS. On Hard difficulty it's very grindy, since the difficulty jump from dungeon to dungeon (might not be the same on the regular game) is rather huge, so you'll spend a bit grinding character and job levels.

Thanks, haven't played FFV or 4HoL, might wait and see how the reviews are then. Also, whats the tone of the story like if you get what I mean, because FFIV has this really relaxing fairy tale atmosphere but still manages to make you care about the characters at poignant moments. That's one of my favourite things about it
