Final Fantasy IV DS, Part Two
Mar. 9th, 2015 07:54 amSo, four things:
First, I'm big fan of ambient background music in video games, but I love the music in this game. The Dwarven Castle! The boss battle song! Cid's theme!
Second, I appreciate Rydia's character arc. She's not only a badass but also the most emotionally mature character in the game. It pleases me immensely that almost all of the side quests involve making her more powerful. It also makes me happy that these sidequests are about exploring interesting areas and seeking out new experiences instead of backtracking and grinding.
Third, it always used to bother me how vanilla Cecil is, since it's never in question that he is a good person or that Rosa will always love him. The older I get, though, the more I admire him for being able to maintain a pure heart despite all the shit he has to deal with.
Fourth, Golbez/Kain forever.
I still love this game. It's without a doubt the best remake I've ever played.
