As much as I love FF, I think S-E is milking the cow to death on this one.
I already have 2 versions (PSOne and GBA), I'm kind of tired of buying the same game over and over again (not that I have to but yeah, you get the point).

Eh, whatever, I'll probably still get it. I haven't bought it since the SNES, so for me it's still fresh.

I don't give a flying F**k about a 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV, I bought IV when it came out on the GBA a little over a year ago. Okay sure its nice and I might buy it. Buy why the hell can't we get some games that Nintendo fans haven't played? Why can't we get DS remakes of FFVII-IX or Tactics or Dragon Quest or Star Ocean or Valkyrie Profile or Secret of Manna or Chrono Cross/Gear?
I might be the biggest die hard Sqaure fan here, and I'm getting royally pissed off with what Square is doing.

We are getting Dragon Quest IX. (not a spin off, but the 9th game of the biggest RPG franchise in Japan!)
We are getting Rings of Fate. (a DS sequel to the GCN game, also getting a separate Wii sequel as well)
There are more, but I'm not going to list them.

I agree, though. They should focus on bringing games that gamers want or have been ignored in the last few years.

Add Reverent Wings and Children of Mana to nitsu niflheim's list of original DS titles above.
Support seems pretty even. And seeing how port happy Square-Enix is, I wouldn't be surprised if they port some of those PSP titles on Wii.

While nobody is shouting for a Final Fantasy IV remake, I hate to say it...but I do think it will make way more money than a Chrono Trigger remake. Every time they redo one of the games it seems to sell nicely. Except when it's on PSP.

Is it because they all look like little kids rather than seasoned warriors?

You know what I've found most shocking is how good the voice acting is. Yeah, I said it, the voice acting is actually good.
Yeah it is really quite good for the most part (there are a couple characters that are so-so but overall it is quality). Without spoiling anything I really loved what they did with the leviathan scene I remember that from the SNES game but this really was a well made scene.

FFIV was full of memorable scenes, but the Mist/Bomb Ring scene has got to be the most epic scene ever.
Rydia's scream at the end of that cutscene just sent chills down my spine. The voice acting is that good.

I've read a couple of reviews saying it's kinda hard.
How hard is it say compared to FF 3 remake on DS?
This game might be my next purchase on the DS after I beat TWEWY.

I'm about 4-5 hrs in and so far it isn't bad if you take some time leveling up. Not sure how it compares to FF3 remake because I've never played it.

Agreed. Although this game definitely features that random whooping feature that appeared in earlier FF's.
Say for example your walking around a dungeon and get into a battle. The fight starts with you being surprised. One of the Ice Lion things decides to cast Freeze on the party which kills two characters outright (one of which is always the darned healer), brings one character to his knees, and the last character to 50% hp. Then the second Ice Lion thing feels like it has to outdo it's friend and casts Freeze as well, killing off the rest of the party.
Also, it may seem obvious, but never use a Phoenix Down on a dead character unless you have another character ready with a healing item or spell. If not, the computer takes great joy in always targeting your newly raised person. As a bonus, it will use a group damaging spell to make you pull out a few extra hairs from your head.
These sort of thing happens from time to time, but not too often. It can even happen to you if you have been grinding levels and are wearing the best equipment. Sometimes old FF games just thought it was time for you to take a break, but instead of using a quite "Open window with a breeze" picture, they just wipe your party out. :)

This game doesn't sound too hard, it's just money is tight and a want to make sure this game is worth the $40.00 I drop on it?
Is all the extra content from the GBA release in the game?
I've had a hard time getting a confirmation.

The extras from FF4 Advance aren't in FF 4 DS. Final Fantasy 4 is a fantastic game whether you play it in 2D (GBA or SNES) or 3d (DS).

As FoC said, the extra dungeon on the moon is not in the DS game. (I played it; to be honest, you're not missing anything.)
I am unsure about the party mechanics at the end of the game. On the GBA version, you could choose whatever party members you wanted for the last dungeon. You couldn't in the SNES original.

And the final boss was kind of a cake walk for me, he never got to finish his first set of attacks and skipped the second right to the third and after meteor he was dead. I did manage to steal from him after almost forgetting to.
I am currently outside of the mist cave on my new game + and am missing only the two entries you can't get in your first playthrough from the bestiary.

This is the first FF game I ever played, and damn, was I humbled. I had put it away for months after getting to the moon (the first trip there) and having my ass served to me endlessly by those fruit-flavored space jellyfish. And then it sat on my shelf, taunting me. And then began... the grinding. Good God, so much grinding.
As an FF n00b, I've gotta ask... how did anyone ever get through these games back in the day without an online walkthrough? Seriously: hidden paths, backtracking, teleports, 10 million enemies, each with different weaknesses, bosses with ridiculous insta-kill powers...
Hmmm, what next? I have FF V and VI for Gameboy Advance on hand, as well as TWEWY sitting on the shelf. (Maybe around 2015 I'll pick up a used PS3 and FFXIII.)
