Sep. 13th, 2011 10:18 amFinally, after several years and three different ports, I finished the main storyline of FFIV. FINALLY!
I'd initially bought the GBA port when I bought my DS, and I played it on and off until the DS remake came out. At that time, I sold my GBA port version (because hey, why hang onto it when there's a new one available) and took up the DS version instead. Turns out that 1. the DS version is a lot harder than the original and 2. Augments are not good for someone indecisive like me, who can't decide who to give which Augment to or when to equip it. It also means that when characters leave the party and drop more Augments, I don't get them. I kept letting my ass kicked by those damnable Dark Sages, and I put the game down in frustration.
Then the PSP port came out, so the third time is the charm. It's also nice that the PSP has a big screen, which makes it easier for someone like me. My eyes aren't the greatest to begin with, and I'm getting older, which makes the little DS screen tough to deal with sometimes. Plus the FMVs were shiny! (But why none in the ending? Boo!) The difficulty in the PSP version is the same as the GBA port, so this time I got the whole way through the game. Hooray for cute married couples. <3
(In that vein, I read on the FF wiki that Ceodore's age had to be retconned such that Rosa wouldn't be pregnant when they got married. LOL. I knew she was up to something when she visits Cecil in his room at the beginning of the game.)
