Final Fantasy IV is probably the best DS game ever. The game has some flaws that we will talk about soon. First off, every single thing in the game is re-made, from graphics to script and even the battle system and (gasp) voice overs. You can turn them off but if you do you're missing out on some really good voice acting. A new thing that can be a flaw or a plus is it's difficulty. It is from the original Japanese version. Bosses can go from an easy fight to a mind blowing frustration. But if you do get stuck you can level grind, and to make less painful there is an Auto-Battle feature which allows you to watch the fight instead of giving commands yourself. As long as you don't run away and battle normally you shouldn't have to grind that often-unlike Final Fantasy 3 on the DS. A helpful feature that was left out of Final Fantasy 3 DS is save points. A new customizable thing is the Augment System, this allows you to give abilities to other party members, for example: a counter ability that lets you counter when attacked. Another new feature is the Whyt summon, it is like a custom summon. You can draw a new face for it, train it through a series of mini games, you can battle it wirelessly with another person, but there is no single card multiplayer or Wi-Fi, it is not big deal but it was included with Final Fantasy 3 so it is a little surprising it is not here. A big draw back is that some bosses are a little bit cheap at times, and that is why some people say it is challenging. I recommend it, even with its flaws, it is a great addition to any DS owner's library.-Sam
