Okay, bunch of Goblins and Flan Princesses, it's time we put a thread like this for those who dared to buy this WiiWare game.

Actually, this thread is very simple.

And so, we start this by giving out the chapters and all that.

I might get this. Don't know about buying all of them. Saw this interesting article about how all the ones after the first are just patches and can be gotten other ways.

Kinda mad me off because I thought they were making it as they went along. Nope, they just are adding suspense and money to their pockets.  >:(
Then again, I can't do the simplistic computer... things... so I might not be up to hacking.

But yeah, FFIV is my second favorite FF game. Does this game bring it to shame or does it add more, good story to it?

I can tell you everything.

First of all, battle seem to be more frecuent as the rate of random battles was a little bit increased.

Second, it has a very good story (if you played the prequel). All the foreshadowings, cliffhangers, and suspense are great in each tale.

Third, it has a good replay value. Once you finish a tale, a Challenge Dungeon will be opened. Be aware that these dungeons want to make you get to lvl. 38 when you're at lvl. 23. (If you plan your moves well, you could get a lot of EXP..)

And forthly, each chapter has many surprises.

This WiiWare game is worth buying than all the others. Also, the characters' sprites look like they came from Final Fantasy 6 Advance. Get the game and try to get all the chapters. ;)

HOw much does it come to in total?

[The Riddler]

HOw much does it come to in total?

3800 points?

[DededeCloneChris]

3800 points?

Actually, it's 3900.

By the way, the purple Mad Ogres in Palom's Challenge Dungeon are weak against Break. Break can take them out most of the time so don't waste your time using arrows.

Updated a little bit with the final chapter.

[spoiler]For that chapter, you have to wait for the Summons to calm down once Rydia has spoken to them during battle. Otherwise, you'll kill them and they won't return for the remainder of the game.[/spoiler]

I haven't played it yet, but I know in one of the chapters with [spoiler]Golbez[/spoiler], you will lose [spoiler]him[/spoiler] if you don't have[spoiler] Cecil, Rosa, Ceodore, and Golbez[/spoiler] in your party.
