It remains home to some of the greatest RPG titles ever released, including FFII, FFIII, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Mother II (US EarthBound), Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Lord of the Rings vol. Please don't take my three-star overall rating as an attack against either game; these classics are two of the greatest RPGs ever released.However, keep in mind that these are (obviously) not actually the games in their original forms. 1, and more (particularly for the Super FamiCom), most of which do not exist for any other system.So, in summary, if you already have a PS1 and want to play these two wonderful classics cheaply, get this. Also, the fact that they're not originals counts for much on its own.The only reason I would suggest buying this item is if you have a PlayStation already /and/ cannot afford the (very expensive) original SNES titles Final Fantasy II and Chrono Trigger. There exist minor differences in the games, the controls, and notably in the load times caused by the disc system; on which note, these are also more easily broken than Nintendo's nearly-indestructible cartridges. Not having an SNES is no excuse; if you're a serious classic RPG gamer, you have or are looking to obtain an SNES or Super FamiCom anyway. If you have money to spend and want quality, get the originals.
While the protagonist is silent, the other characters develop well along the storyline. If I had enjoyed Final Fantasy IV a bit more than I did, the review would be 5 stars. The weapon and skill system is set up to nigh-perfection; everyone has a set role, but Square manages to pull it off without making the system too limited. Along with 6, 4 is an FF that was well made but just inexplicably unable to draw me in (the opposite of FF7, which I got into while I played but seems so shabby when I look back at it). There's nothing inherently wrong with the game, it just didn't give me the same feeling as the other classic Final Fantasies have. 4 is certainly for someone, but it's not for me, you'll have to compare it against your own tastes.Chrono Trigger, on the other hand, is a prime example of a classic RPG. The music, while a bit dated, is still rather pleasant and the graphics are vibrant compared to its contemporaries.
Add in Final Fantasy IV and you have an astonishing deal that you simply shouldn't pass up. Even though that most people will overlook this game because it's a PlayStation game that's a re-release of a 16-bit game during a time when we've already moved on to the 128-bit generation, if you're an RPG fan that has yet to play either of these classics, it's a must-have title. With the multiple endings and fantastical game design and lovable characters, Chrono Trigger alone is worth the full price of admission. Jody Bissoon
i am a big fan of squear enix what can i say if you like rpg's these to games are a window to the past of great rpgs. if you are a fan then i recamends picking up this tittle.
with revamped graphics and some new attributes for the characters. again if you want more original graphics then go for this one. both classic games and EXTREMELY FUN. but Final Fantasy IV will be coming out for the DS really soon. i don't know if they are planning to do the same for Chrono Trigger, but it doesn't matter cause they are both amazing as is.
