Is it me, or do those screens of FFIV look really rough?

The characters look like those circular Lego characters. FF3 and 12 were good. CC Ring of Fates, and FFIV have that same type of model though. I have been waiting on this game for a while. Anxiously following it...The screens are looking like something out of the gameboy advance days. I'm sure SquareEnix wont let me down, but it is a little worrying right now. Guess I'll just wait until they get a little more info.

I don't complain about DS graphics too often, I actually enjoy a lot of the art styles, especially The World Ends With You.

Any opinions?

I really don't know why you think that. They look even better than the graphics from RoF. Nothing in the GBA days looked this good.

I know. It wasn't a knock. I think I just saw some bad quality pics. I went through some pics on IGN, looks better.

Ugh, come on Square I'm waiting...lol

I recall reading that they reduced the polygon count compared to ff3 in order to allow for more characters and monsters on the screen at once.

I played a couple hours of it in Japanese, and MAN, the game looked good. :shock: I noticed that the the feet looked a little funny but that's about it. It's hard to look as good with "realistic" graphics than it is with stylized ones, but the more serious look worked a lot better for this game than III's chibi look would've. And the animations in the (voice acted) cutscenes? Wow... Just wow...

I'm saving my money for it already.

Its better than being 2d I suppose. The screens looked about the same as FF3. I'm just glad we're actually getting the game over here in the states. I figured I'd have to import (looking at you, Tales of Innocence)

It's the DS. It's not a portable Gamecube.

Maybe if I hadn't bought this game for my GBA..... or still had it for my SNES..... Let's have a new game that I haven't already bought twice SE please.

Graphics look fine for DS, about the same as FFCC:ROF

Well they are adding a ton of new stuff to this game... like FMVs and some of the 3/4s of script that was left out of the original... and apparently tweaking the bosses to make them more challenging.

Why not just make a new game?

As I said, I've already spent $100 on this game, do I need to spend another $40 on a SE DS game? The game should only be 30-35, like most other DS games, but for some reason SE feels like a remake of an old game with a few new script lines should be worth 10 more than any other DS game.

I'm sorry, I love Final Fantasy, and in all honesty, will probably at some point get this game, but it really is a rip-off. NEW MATERIAL IS WHAT WE WANT!

The voice acting and FMVs likely demanded a larger card to store the whole game, which would partially account for the price.
