RATING INFORMATION

FINAL FANTASY IV: The After Years

Platform: Wii

Rating: Everyone

Content descriptors: Alcohol Reference, Mild Fantasy Violence

Rating summary: This is a 2D role-playing game in which players embark on an adventure involving magical crystals and a mysterious kingdom. Players traverse across a field map or through dungeons and can enter into turn-based battles along the way. Players use a menu screen to select attacks or magic spells against tiny enemies (e.g., leopards, birds, knights, fish monsters, etc.) that blink and disappear when defeated. An item called "Bacchus Wine" is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle.

How many FF4 fans would care about this tripe?

More importantly, how many FF4 fans own a wii?

Wasn't Crystal Defenders first announced as Wiiware and then for PSN/XBLA?

I care. FF4 is my favorite game of all time.

Crystal Defenders R1 and R2 are listed only for the Wii on the ESRB site.

so it looks like the Wii has locked down the Square Enix downloadable software support.

Jansen · « **Reply #10 on:** February 27, 2009, 03:08:56 PM »

what's the difference between R1, R2, and just plain old crystal defenders?

I'm guessing its more of Square Enix's DLC tomfoolery, like they did with My Life as a King and Space Invaders Get Even where you just couldn't buy the whole game at once.

But I'm not playing this. I'm not playing any FF sequel, unless it's FFVIII or something. FFVII's sequels and shit have ruined the game for me. I won't let them ruin FFIV for me too.

My doubts about that have been increasing since that rumor first popped up. The original rumor was extremely flimsy and if it was going to happen you'd think it would have popped up with the Wii version just now. And at least with the Wii there is a somewhat likelyhood that its userbase had played FFIV at some point between the SNES, GBA and DS versions.

Wasn't this a cell phone game originally?

So this is what the Wii has been reduced to.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #24 on:** March 01, 2009, 03:13:11 AM »

Jesus Christ. My list of wanted Wii games this year is closing in on thirty. This isn't supposed to happen to Nintendo consoles.

To be realistic about 5 of them are just likely localizations that haven't been confirmed, 4 are gamecube ports, 1 ps2 port, 1 ps1 remake, a ninja turtle game by ubisoft, and questionable weaksauce shit like Drum King and MySims Racing to satiate some manchild yearnings I have. But goddam, if they ever fix the storage issue its going to hurt to restrain myself doubly so. I'm kind of hoping most of these games are terrible so I can ignore them.

edit: shit, I just realised I want to rebuy WiiFit and pick up Shaun White. Luckily alot of Wii games have a nice trend of price collapsing after about two months. That could help.

cool breeze · « **Reply #25 on:** March 01, 2009, 03:29:37 AM »

At least for the next the end of June (based on what is listed) I'm only getting two Wii games; MadWorld and Kororinpa 2 are sure buys with The Conduit bumped down to rental. I was thinking about getting Pikmin on the Wii, but I already own it on the gamecube, the controls are great in that version, and I have no problem playing a game in 4:3. I can't imagine picking out 30 games.

Punchout
Excitebots (blind excite fanboy faith)
Boom Blox 2
Mad World
Kororinpa 2
PES 09
Klonoa (ps1 remake)
Wii Sports Resort (mostly for the peripheral)
Muramusa
Little King's Story
Major Minor's Majestic March
Sin and Punishment 2
Phantom Brave(ps2 port)
TMNT ubisoft (nostalgia purchase )
Grand Slam Tennis / Virtua Tennis (need to see m+ integration first)
Tiger Woods (ditto)
Anno Wii
NPC Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

Likely localisations:
Monster Hunter 3
Endless Ocean 2
NPC Metroid Prime
NPC Pikmin 2
NPC Chibi Robo

Probably shit, but I would like a kart racer without mascots so I'm keeping an eye on the mysims racing thing. Drum King... I dunno, its a dual wiimote drum game and thats been a nerdy fantasy of mine since the system was announced.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #28 on:** March 01, 2009, 04:12:07 AM »

hey, Wii owners, don't forget about Broken Sword: The Directors Cut, or I will sodomize your loved ones with a toilet plunger.
or be snarky about the game's financial failure. Either of those.

I forgot about Sin and Punishment 2, Boom Blox 2 and Klonoa. I'll probably be forced to get Wii Sports Resort too. Need to see more on Punch Out and Little King Story before I decide to get those.

Guybrush Threepwood · « **Reply #34 on:** March 01, 2009, 12:35:41 PM »

Has there been any word on if Punchout Wii will have classic controls or just motion controls?

That's a major deal-breaker for me.

I'm looking forward to this, FFIV is one of the few FF games I love.

This and probably Madworld (I'd be more sold on it if RE5 didn't come out three days later) will keep my Wii sort of busy for a little while.

Klonoa might not be any good. I bought the import and only played a little but it honestly didn't seem much better than playing it on PS1. Then again I only played the first level.

Hey, wait. Can you hack a 3.4 wii without Twilight Princess? I was planning on hacking my JPN Wii that's 3.4 so I don't have to keep plugging in my US Wii everytime I want to play a US game, but I thought you needed to buy TP to hack it.

If you can do it without TP that would save me $40-50 of importing a used copy of Zelda that I don't need (already own the US version). So yeah, tell me about this USB Loader thing.

demi · « **Reply #56 on:** April 16, 2009, 10:12:12 PM »

You cant hack anything without TP right now, but theres supposed to be a new little exploit happening coming up

USB Loader is the program that lets you play the free games

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #57 on:** April 16, 2009, 10:16:03 PM »

Oh, ok. Well I guess I will import a used TP copy. It's still worth it if I can have a region free wii.

I would have modded my US Wii and used that since I have TP US but Madworld made it 4.0 ;_;

MadWorld doesnt make Wiis 4.0
