After a long time no FF...

I haven't played any Final Fantasy for a while now (since Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift). Ever since "Dissidia: Final Fantasy" is announced, I have revisited almost all the Final Fantasy storyline, understanding the characters (their backgrounds and relationships) and also the background of the story. From Final Fantasy I to Final Fantasy X, each of which has its own uniqueness, and each of its has its own fascinating story. I really am impressed by the creativity and innovative of Japanese (maybe for some all these stories are crap). If possible, I will also love to play through some of these games. Lately Cecil and Golbez from Final Fantasy IV have been announced to join the casts. Almost at the same time, the English version of remake of Final Fantasy IV for DS has been launched in the market. I wouldn't let the chance of understanding Final Fantasy IV to slip away.

The story begins with Cecil the commander of Red Wings from Baron obeying the order from the King to steal all sorts of crystals from all sorts of places. Of course, he was very reluctant and of course he turned away from his King's order. And the story evolves into his adventure to seek for justice with Golbez, the alleged man that have been manipulating the King for all the bad behaviour. The story is cool enough to grab my attention. The game play, similar to remake of Final Fantasy III, is wonderfully and beautiful -- all in 3D yet still keeps its fundamental FF gameplay elements. Well, I see I will finish this game in another 2-3 days (after 2-3 days of gameplay throughout the weekend). Now, we will have to wait for Dissidia in December!
