I already own FFIV on the SNES and FFV as part of the US FF Anthology.
FFX was released in Australia a day before FF Anthology, so, naturally I’m spending most of my waking hours playing it.
Needless to say, it hasn’t spent all it’s time unused. I played the intros and the start of both FFIV and V to compare them with the NTSC versions, and, there were a few surprises. Luckily, FFIV and V aren’t as badly squashed and letterboxed as FFVI was.
One thing about FFIV though. The new FMV intro wasn’t really in the same league as the new intros for FFV and VI, which both had orchestrated BGM and used Yoshitaka Amano’s art for the character designs. FFIV, on the other hand, had a rather noisy take off of the Red Wings from Baron Castle, showing a manga -influenced Rosa watching as Cecil flies off on his airship into the distance. No music, no credits. Still, I thought it was a good scene nothenless, if only far too short.
Today’s Classic FF Quote:
"Even the booze tastes bad now." Rude of the Turks, after Elena ruined their vacation by getting them to go hunt down Don Conero, FFVII
I have FFIV, but I have newer completed FFV.
