Not just the best FFIV hack ever, but possibly the best *ROM HACK* ever.
Reviewed By: scarlet on 15 Feb 2020I’m not using hyperbole here either. This is a masterwork. This hack hangs together even better than the GBA/PSP version and blows away the DS version. Extra bosses, extra spells, extra everything!! *However* - and this is key - *all* of it fits naturally into the spirit of the game without looking odd or out of place. I have played possibly every FFIV hack there is (Darkness Within, Unprecedented Crisis, Golbez Edition, etc.) and while those are all very good, this is superlatively above all other hacking efforts on this game to date. It’s not only ruined me for other hacks, but it’s completely ruined me for the original game, which pales in comparison to what’s been done here. The script has been touched up to possibly the best version I’ve seen in the English cart, the menus have been enhanced…I could type about this game forever. Everything you didn’t like about FFIV is gone and everything you thought was great or should’ve been there has been put in here.
Obviously as you can tell, I adore this game immensely. If you play it and don’t like it, let me know so I can come to your house and physically assault you for being wrong!!! =)
