DS Daily: Two fours enter, one four leaves


Our overlords at Square Enix have been making everything old new again, and since we soak up RPGs like starlets soak up fake tanners, we can't say we're exactly displeased. In fact, the only possible dilemma we face when considering the barrage of remakes is: which ones are we most excited about? We thought we'd put the question to you guys as well. So which is it: Dragon Quest IV or Final Fantasy IV? We figured it was only fair to pit two number fours against one another.

1. I would say I am most excited about the FF4 remake, although I've never actually played either game.

I didn't get into RPGs of any sort until Secret of Mana and FF6, so I initially missed out on FF4. Despite various rereleases (including the PS version which I actully own) I still haven't played the game.

Now I just have to decide whether I should play it in it's original 2-D glory before jumping into the DS version...

2. Final Fantasy IV for SNES has to be one of my favorite games of all time. Maybe it's because I grew up playing it. I don't usually get real excited about games, but I'll probably buy this one the day it comes out.

3. I like DQ so much more than FF4, but it seems DQ4 isn't getting the same 3D treatment that FF4 is getting... so I'm quite disappointed by that. I'm waiting for DQMJ and DQ9.

4. FFIV. Ever since I had read it from a SNES tricks book I've wanted to play "FFII"

5. Enix and DQIV, naturally. Dragon Quest IV was so far ahead of its time on the NES, it was superior to many SNES RPGs as it was.

8. I loved FF 3 on the DS so much, it's impossible for me to not be excited about FF 4. Although DQ 4 looks good, the fact that it's not getting the upgrade to 3-D makes it pale in comparison to FF 4.

9. I didn't like the battle system in DQ4. FF4 for me!
