Nothing Spoony About This
Reviewed By: Karsh Highwind on 11 Feb 2020Long time fan of FFIV, likely one of the RPG’s I’ve beaten most in my gaming career. This mod fundamentally improves all aspects of the game without question. The characters all have more specialized roles, weapons/armors are vital to your success and gone are the days of just holding down the attack button with everyone to just brute force your way through the fights.
FFIV - Ultima let’s you think encounters through trial and error, figuring out the best way to approach each area/boss.
There’s plenty of new things to do in the game, and I highly recommend that you take the time to explore…Exploration of the world, old maps you know, and even some new ones you don’t, tend to be filled with new goodies that will pleasantly surprise you!
If you wanted to see what FFIV could have been…This is the mod for you.
