@@pokermitten9795 we have as close to a sight as we possibly can at the moment. You'll notice that even in the animation in this game we aren't seeing the actual black hole itself, just the light going inside. Just like the recent photo.
The Bio caught me by surprise, that got amped up hard in comparison to the older games. Zeromus really got buffed up in this version. But above all that, AN ACTUAL FINAL BOSS DEATH! YES! THAT'S how it's done!!
It's clearly the better one; especially since apart from the remake it received on iOS, it's impossible to get The After Years in a 2-D sprite form. I'm still miffed we never had III get a physical PSP release in the states, and that we never saw V and VI get the same treatment.
@@okagron I mean in a way it did on iOS, but the new sprites just didn’t compare to IV PSP’s quality, and of course the touch menu interface…don’t see why they didn’t at least make them for the Vita and make a collection of all six games plus TAY…missed opportunity indeed, even if the Vita sold poorly.
The Pixel Remaster does have some good animations and music for sure, but it cuts out swapping party members in Mysidia, the Cave of Trials, and the Lunar Ruins ):
@@PazuChill not yet lolol it’s gotten a lot of bad reviews for being a basic port of the original game and being easier. I’m still debating on getting it or watching a play through on TH-cam 🤣
Game came out yesterday and here is the final encounter. Nice. The music is incredible. I love the (I'm assuming Romanji) choir. What is the difficulty patterned after?
This is "based" on the original in terms of content, items and character abilities, but it is way easier since enemies give a lot more exp and gil. Also, arrows are infinite in this version and their accuaracy got a massive buff, so they're kinda op. It also seems they made enemies slower. This is the easiest version of FFIV to date, as all other pixel remasters.
this was a great version of the music, solid graphics update, etc. but big bang does not look *nearly* as cool as the old SNES version, the way the parallax background shifts out of sync and speeds up backwards just hits different, y'know? you can't just reverse the background and expect the same impact, you *need* that parallax background effect and sped up background
I like this version of the Zeromus boss fight song, about his attacks... Big Bang feels like it's the same animation from the PSP release, while Black Hole is better here, the rest of the animations like his death is much better now than the PSP Release... but still I feel the PSP as the better overall experience (maybe that could change once I give this particular version a try).
I still find the psp version better. Way more detailed graphics and it has nice extra content, as well as the original difficulty. This version is probably the second best though. The mini maps, remixed music and overrall fluid movement are its strengths.
@@stardustsdd true, Square-Enix did well with this version, but the Psp re-release is still too much for this one and still the best way to play ff4+after years (and for personal tastes, while the pixel remaster ost is really nice, I just can't help it but having the original SNES ost on PSP is a big plus for me, can't blame me when the fact that I grew up with either the OG SNES release or the Ps1 re-release made me love the game's OST from the get-go)
Whose bright idea was it to settle on that GODAWFUL font? The numbers look great but the trying to make out the words hurts my eyes! What if I had vision problems?
I would love to see more modern top down rpgs. Developers were so limited back then, technologically and experientially. The medium has developed so much. Just think of a game like this with a perfected ATB system similar to I-VI. How can we improve and make more interesting the menu based combat? Think of the stories we could tell without needing years of development or a small fortune; With a file size and system req that any cell phone could run. Resources could be dedicated to things like, idk, gameplay and story? Undertale was made by one guy, right? What could a TEAM do with that medium? It's an old painting we need to finish.
1:12 seems to be the previously-hidden "heal to full HP [once-only]" action used if he has a turn between 12-16k HP (assuming his HP is the same as the other non-ET 2D versions, 65,498 HP; does the bestiary list his stats?).
@@superneverover It only happens once, he switches to a different pattern afterward that doesn't have any "heal" actions. You can skip it entirely if you can push him below 12k before he gets a chance to act in-between that HP range (I do it in one of my old PSP videos).
Is this a minimum level challenge or did something change in this remaster? I remember slaughtering Zeromus with impunity. Just a curious question because most videos I see of this fight seem to struggle lol.
I go into detail on Michael Smith's comment chain, but it is the easiest version of FFIV to date. They give you way more exp and gil. It's still fun though.
About as difficult as the GBA version in my opinion which in turn wasn't that difficult either. Would love a mod of FFIV PR with DS difficulty and mechanics.
Graphically is laughably similar to the original, that's just.. lazy... but man that OST holy shit, can't wait to see.what they do with FFVI Specially Dancing Mad

I do love the Black Hole animation in this version cause of how they made it look like the recent NASA photo of an actual black hole.
Assuming what was pictured was actually a black hole and not a Plasmoid.
@@Zelink108 considering that thats borderline electric universe nonsense I'm going with black hole 100 percent.

I love that Zeromus sometimes just shudders in livid glee at casting larger spells. He LOVES watching you scramble to try and counteract him.
That indicates he's about to use Big Bang.
The Bio caught me by surprise, that got amped up hard in comparison to the older games. Zeromus really got buffed up in this version. But above all that, AN ACTUAL FINAL BOSS DEATH! YES! THAT'S how it's done!!
I believe this is based on the original Japanese version especially in terms of difficulty.
The Counter: Bio + Big Bang = OOF!
@@PhantomBlackStar Yes. That exactly.
@@PhantomBlackStar Yes, that combo can mess you up pretty badly. >_
really like this version of zeromus' theme
You know it's a good song when it gives you chills.
I can see this version of Zeromus theme playing in FF XIV Endwalker.
Oh please. PLEASE let there be a Lunar Subterrane raid series.
@@SnancyNegative We get something about the Twelve, and the actual Raid is based on Pandaemonium.
My copy of FF4 Complete Collection on PSP is still a masterpiece to me.
The revised music makes a VERY strong case for this remaster though!

JRPG composers when they're told that not every boss theme needs to have latin chanting in it
Final Fantasy X Final Boss theme "Otherworld" be like: One More God Rejected.
Sure it does!
I can get over how much of a slapper this ost is
I love how the final boss looks like something from a Gradius game
*Boss Fight theme starts with Ominous Chorus*
Me: *automatically leans forward*

Did you get it?

We need more Eldritch-Lovecraften cosmic horror end bosses in FF games like Zeromus.
*Edge dies for the 647th time*
Party: "God dammit, AGAIN?"
The big bang reversing the orbital plain effect is so cool and I have loved that since the SNES version.

that meteor animation tho
I think I prefer the psp version
I absolutely loved the meteor spell in the psp version! Really lives up to the standards of the ultimate black magic imo.
Damn, the Big Bang spam is real here.
Wtf did they do with the background. The snes one was amazing.
It's actually the same background but they updated the graphics a bit
its actually a downgrade
snes background looks better
Won't argue with that

around 63-65
40 and it's almost unwinnable
Is this a minimum level challenge or did something change in this remaster? I remember slaughtering Zeromus with impunity. Just a curious question because most videos I see of this fight seem to struggle lol.
How fast was the battle speed? He's challenging at Active-1, and you can't beat him without deciphering his patterns.
FF4s OST is so full of ba ngers. the four fiends theme and this one are all-timers.
This Zeromus is relentless wtf
英語版だとキュアガ（ケアルダ）、キュアジャ（ケアルガ）なんだね
They need to remake 1-6 into PSP’s quality.
And not let them stuck on a dead console:(
I've been wondering if this version is hard. If it is, I might buy it!

Seriously takes them so long to find what they need and then they get aoe again 🤣
Vanilla Zeromus, is this even randomized?
lmao I actually beat Zeromus with just Kain and Cecil when he's at 20% HP left since I never bought Phoenix Down the entire game
Good for you ?
Ok skipping the prayer then use crystal part is just mean. That’s the best part of the final boss.
