Final Fantasy IV (DS)


Many wise gamers consider IV to be the greatest Final Fantasy ever made. This new edition provides a dungeon map, "decanting" ability, and a flawed auto-battle system. More useful additions than not, and so the game remains great.

Final Fantasy IV (known as Final Fantasy II on the SNES) is the one where you play a dark knight called Cecil, roaming the kingdom of Baron in search of love, crystals and the truth.
