Shoddy Wiiware, to milk the franchise. Damn you Squareenix, for succeeding in making us buy this!

Yarr, totally! Though I don't mind it... I just hope that any future WiiWare releases will be more graphically impressive. Or at least as good as the SNES versions. :x

	What?!

I've never even heard of this. XD; And I don't have a Wii, dammit! Now I want one, even if the game is kinda crappy?

I'm playing the DS version of the game now...

I never heard of it either, until I saw it in a magazine that my dad picked up recently. I kinda went "meh" at first, since it was listed for the Xbox Live, but when I found it on the Wii Shop Channel for 800 points, I was like "... okay!"

It's kinda fanfic-like, but it totally has nostalgia appeal IMO. And you get to play as King Cecil, Queen Rosa, and Prince Ceodore at various points in the game.

(I haven't played all the way through it yet, so I have no idea how far through the game I already am. I've read that this first installment is disappointingly short, so if I had to take a wild guess as to how far I am, I'd say roughly halfway.)

The DS version of the game is far superior, graphics-wise. Hot dayumn. FF4:AY is graphically more like a cross between the SNES versions of FF4 and FF6.

I'm all about nostalgia appeal, and I love the characters in IV. I don't even care about the graphics if the story is at least decent. However, I'm a little wary due to the treatment FFVII has gotten in its sequels...

Ah well, I don't have a Wii and probably won't get one anytime soon, so it's a none-issue at the moment XD Maybe they'll release the whole shebang on DS at some point.

I think the reason why it's so basic and primitive is because it was a Cell phone game upscaled for Wii-ware. Imagine how bad something is going to look when you have something that's on a window barely 2 inches diagonally brought up to full screen. It should have been maybe DSi ware instead.

Though you know, if this one does good I wonder if they'll port Before Crisis to something.

That's true, didn't know it was originally a cell phone game. Still a little disappointing, but eh, oh well. :P

What's Before Crisis?

A FF7 cell phone game that was a prequel to FF7 and involved the Turks and the pre version of Avalanche
