Final Fantasy IV Impressions: Day 5
by cann3dheat
Final Fantasy IV - DS At this point, I'm really just getting down some points for my review coming Monday (I promise). If I could, I'd give the game a 3.5* score, but since I've decided to take a page out of the Giant Bomb book, I'm trying to stick with full *'s. It's odd deciding whether the game has qualities that would push it back to 3*'s or if good enough to deserve 4. Only time will tell....
Final Fantasy IV - DS
In terms of progress, today I finished another boss and am working on another. I do feel bad about not completely finishing this game before I review it, but problem is, I'd be at the game for weeks if I wanted to finish it before reviewing it. Plus, I'd probably get so worn out playing the game that it would take away from the experience. In my opinion, RPG's aren't meant to be speed through in a matter of days, especially turn-based ones. Sure, the game clock may say that you've only played a total of xx hours, but you've spanned that out over a few weeks/months, depending on the game.
Also, I'm really enjoying the auto-battle system now. No if's, and's or but's about it. It allows me to do other things while playing the game, which a lot of the time is very handy. FFIV is very much the busy man's RPG. That, or it's the lazy man's RPG. Funny how that works...
