They said that the original game (and all subsequent ports) was only about 25% of what they originally planned. Whether that means story wise or overall content is rather ambiguous.

Either way, what actually ended up in the DS version is nothing like what they implied. Although they did say they were going to try to put 'some' of the cut content into the game so I guess they didn't exactly lie.

I think u don't need to ask if the DS version of this game worth it... if u are a big fan of this game, will be awesome to play it just even if there is no change at all on the script, items, dungeons, and that stuff... 'cause just seeing ur loved characters in a 3D enviroment is awesome!

Of course, if u are not a great fan of FFIV, u can just play the snes, gba, or ds version with no need to play them all...

I guess the big question I really mean to ask is, with brand new original games coming out around the same time, like FFTA 2, is it worth buying another copy of a game I've played countless times. Did they really add enough new stuff to warrant buying it among many new games/titles coming out at the same time?

I liked FFIV, but I didn't love it, and it would not kill me to wait til it dropped dramatically in price to get it. I still haven't bought New Super Mario Bros because it is still 35 dollars, and I do not feel it is worth 35 compared to other titles

You get to see Rydia in 3D! Of course it's worth it!

Between the Decant Item system and completely revised boss battles, FFIV DS is like a whole new game. The GBA port was a hack job, but this is a true remake.

FFTA 2 comes out almost a whole month before FF IV DS.

I pretty much was going to say the same thing. I haven't played it, though. However, from what I read, it sounds like it is going to be worth it. Can't wait untill next month.
