Care to elaborate? Are you bothered by what happens in the later chapters or the entire story?

I won't play this game simply because of what they did with Golbez. **** you, SE!

It bothered more than just the s*** out of me. But maybe that's just me.

I think I can understand what Takara says, being myself a major Kain fan. But when I saw (SPOILER) the Holy Dragoon , I think I was blushing.

This game was a wonderful surprise for me because I didn't know it was going to come out on WiiWare. I downloaded it the same day I found out (yesterday).
So far only two things bother me: the chapters are too short and, they really could have recycled a bit less at least for enemies and bosses. WTF, Octomammoth again? But it's good to go through old dungeons again, see people, and so on. It's perfect for old fans like me.
By the way, I'm trying not to get spoilers around. I knew too much about the Hooded Man already.

I was thinking "What the?"

Because you're a man. I'm a girl. And Kain is still the most sexiest pixel man ever. Better even than Leon S. Kennedy, I daresay, because he doesn't utter lame lines.

I actually thought it was cool. Probably because I always had a soft sport for Kain, and I always felt bad that his inner struggles were left unresolved. Though, I know the majority of people here prefer Dark Knight Cecil over Paladin Cecil (because HE IS TEH DARK LOL), so I am not surprised that some people don't like what they did with Kain.

I am guessing they do something similar with Golbez, too, since other people on this forum keep on complaining about something to do with him. No one tell me if I am right or not. Don't even quote this part and even give me a hint, please. I will wait and see for myself.

I agree with you Sephex. Probably one of the reasons people like Kain, though, is because of his inner struggles and because he's the only one at the end of FFIV that doesn't become a king nor lives happily ever after. That's why they don't like what they did with him.
As for me, I expected that after 16 or so years he'd gotten over Rosa, but no... and I can't say I don't like it, because it keeps the sentimental tension that added so much to the first game in place.

Yeah, I understand that view point as well. However, that's why I also like what they did. I was like, "C'mon, man! It's been almost two decades! Get over your inner conflicts! You can do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt!"

I also became a huge dork and identified that scene with some stuff that has happened to me in real life, so that's probably another reason why I liked it.
