Haven't they milked that game enough? Everyone who wants to play it owns it by now.
-
Will this be based on the absolutely amazing PSP version, or the ugly and poorly-acted DS version?

Uh, I think you've got things mixed up. The PSP version has the 2D sprites, and the DS version is 3D.
I suspect it'll be the DS/3D version because they've ported that one before; it's already on Android and iOS, both of which are much easier to port to PC than a PSP game is. But the PSP/2D version looks better, has better music, has no voice acting instead of crap voice acting, and includes The After Years. It's superior in pretty much every regard.

Except it doesn't have the super bosses that the DS version has like Proto Babil.

It's the 3D version:

And it's out now.

Ugh, I would have bought if it was the ported PSP version. 3D shitty DS version? No thanks.

Actually played trough the whole FFIV Complete Collection this summer, so.... not getting this. But I've heard the DS version have "more" story to it.

So.. interestingly the game has two difficulty modes now.. Normal (Easy mode) and Hard (DS difficulty)
-
Pff, easy mode? I mean the game's already easy as pie, why would you NEED easier difficulty?

Because it's based on the DS version which ramped up the difficulty.
I had to level my characters to 80 or so just to handle the final boss.

The 3D version was a mistake imo. It's very hard, at least for me, to take these graphics seriously. It feels like I'm playing with dolls, not engaged in an epic tale. It fitted FF3 better. While it was not as good as it could be, FF3 was a more light hearted; a less serious adventure kind of a game (yes, I know it has a dark tone to it but still...). Thus the graphics didn't really bother me that much. What bothered me more was that they added these, seemingly arbitrary, generic main characters in stead of the original nameless heroes. The nameless heroes/blank slates worked much better in the FF3 setting. At least considering they barely developed them at all.

Yes, the PSP sprite based graphics would be much better.

Seems people found out how to mod the music for the game easily. There's a music patch to turn the music to the SNES version.

How to Install
1. Go to your "SteamApps\common\Final Fantasy IV\EXTRACTED_DATA\files\SOUND\BGM" folder.
2. Replace files. (You should probably backup old files although you can always recover them from steam server)
I wonder if this forum will include sections for FFIII, IV and XII modding in the future..

The music was one of the few things that wasn't awful about this. It wasn't as good as the PSP version, but not the midi disasters we got for FF7 and FF8 PC either.
