Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (released yesterday on Wiiware!)

And the best part? It's multiplayer! Up to four players!

The worst part? My birthday was over five months ago, and my mom bought me a Wii for my birthday, but lives far from me and still hasn't been up to visit to give it to me. Grrr!

I played it.

Glad to see that it is a lot like the original SNES version. Also like the age of the moon system, Only gripe is that the transtion between menus is too ADD. It just "pops" up. There is no fade or transition to battles or to menu screen. Other than that, it's great!

I had no idea that the game was multiplayer. That feature must have been added in during localization. Can you play it online with friends?

From the description, it doesn't sound like online play is possible. The reviewer said the multiplayer setup was like VI and XI (assigning specific characters to a specific controller).

Honestly, I never really play any multiplayer games online. The fun in having the friend in the same room as you are in to talk with about how hard a boss was or whatever. And to strategize (haha, spell check claims that's not a word).

I am liking it so far. I know some aspects of the story will bother the s*** out of a lot of people, but I find it to be very interesting. Can't wait to play through all the other chapters.

I quite enjoyed the initial story... Would have liked it to be longer... But the other chapters should be just as good.

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