Final Fantasy 4 Gaming Journal

I took a break from FF9 since I am in a spot where I have to find the right way through a cave using one of thoe spiders and it is making me very irritated. I booted up a ROM with FF4 10th Anniversary Edition on it and its one where its the original japanese version translated with ll correct script and uncesored sprites-dialogue along with the pumped up difficulty that is making it near impossible for me to advance but its a lot of fun and quite the challenge.

Here is an entry of my progress thus far:

Location: Mysidia

Level 10- Paladin

Current Party- Tella, Porom, Palom.

Time- 03:21

Gil- 81

I must say in just 3 hours in game time I was able to advance to such a great length along with all the secrets and hidden areas I had encountered when I first played this game years ago in my SNES. The difficulty setting is very high, enemies seem to have double the HP than the US version and attack you mercilessly, but the game itself its not entirely hopeless, if things get too hairy, its very easy to escape with the shoulder buttons. The boss battles are the ones to watch out for in this version, being that said bosses, especially the Elements, are very very hard to beat.

The party I have its going bacl to Baron Kingdom where Cecil will confront the Water Fiend (Which in this version are called Emperors) and also the Summon Odin which is hidden inside Baron castle. Of course, their first confdrontation against Golbez which will result in Tella´s demise along with the young mage twins Palom and Porom.

I enjoyed Dark Knight Cecil since he was able to cast Dark Wave, a move you cou only witness in the US version when he confronted himself before becoming a Paladin. However said skill takes some HP from you, so I used it whenever I knew I had enough to win a battle. I also noticed characters have extra skills ommited in the US version, Porom has one where he can make his magic more powerful and Gilbert (Edward) has Medicine which raises HP a little on the party without using MP.

So I will next update on my progress revisiting FF4, I am sure by then I may be on the Moon fighting off pink gooey monsters to get the rat´s tail.

Looking for a particular snes game

Hey there.

I've been going down memory lane trying to remember the title of a particular game for the snes. I remember you played a knight(and also a wizard with a second controller) and you can deflect a fire ball(acted as a sort of pinball) or something like that at a wall of enemies/a wall of some sort. It kind of acted like a pinball game, but not. I remember it also had a storyline of some sort. The game's cover had a knight(I think in blue armor?) hitting the fireball with his sword. Anyway, I remember loving that game as a kid, but I can't recall the title of it, so figured I'd ask on here if anyone knows what the heck I'm talking about and hoping that I'm not going crazy. ;)

So why are some Super Nintendo games so expensive and hard to find?

I'm going back and buying old titles that I didn't have when I was a kid but things like Harvest Moon and Super Mario RPG are ridiculously priced on eBay.

Did they not make many copies of these? I thought they were among the most popular titles. Ergo, there should be tons out there, right?

Hello everybody,

When SNES and Genesis were out, I only owned a Genesis, so I didn't play much SNES. I eventually got one, but I was never really that sold on it. I guess I always liked the games I had for Genesis better. But now in the age of roms people can check out ones they never played. So my question to you all is:

What games on SNES are out there that I haven't played? Like special ones that aren't talked about that often (Ie. Not Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Illusion of Gaia, Mana, Killer Instinct, etc). Maybe exlude most RPGs (which I know SNES is the king of), because even though I love RPGs, I don't really have time for them anymore.

I'm talking about semi-obscure ones, those are the ones I love!

Finally, as a second question, I remember I used to subscribe to Nintendo Power, and I remember them advertising for Marvelous, a game that ended up only coming out in Japan. I've ALWAYS wanted to play this, but I don't speak Japanese. Does anybody know where I could find a patch for it?

Thanks very much!
