I got Metal Slug 7 and Chrono Trigger x 2... Apparently my folks didn't coordinate correctly. This happened the year before last when I got Final Fantasy XII twice!

It's okay, I gave CT to my grandma because she has a DS and liked that game. I also bought her Professor Layton.

C'mon, are you REALLY asking this question??

Let's see... FFIV got a 9.0, FFTA2 only got a 7.0.

FFIV is a direct remake of arguably one of the best FF games in the main series. (1 transition)

FFTA2 is a sequel to a hand-held spin-off of a relatively good PS1 game that uses the FF namesake. (3 transitions, meaning the games likely get weaker with each transition)

These are two entirely different games we're talking about here and it's really your matter of preference on whether you like classic RPGs with great stories and characters or tactical games... But I think if anyone had to choose between FFIV and FFTA2, most would choose FFIV.

Quit being such graphic whores and give this game a chance!

Good graphics != good game ;)

Hmm, I really don't know what to make of it... I'm a big fan of the original and while the original graphics and music still hold up to today's standards, I almost wish they would have done a little more with it... Wait, what am I saying? I LOVE 2D sprites...

It just seems like this should have been a WiiWare game but I guess they figured why make only $10 when you can make $40? But I'm not complaining, since I only have a DS and not a Wii!

The thing is, these handheld ports of Square RPGs like the FF ones that appeared on GBA... I can't say that I got too into their bonus dungeons. They felt pretty tacked-on and largely out of balance with the rest of the game...

However, Chrono Trigger had an area called the Crying Mountain (it even had its own music!) somewhere in 65,000,000 BC, but it didn't make it into the final version of the game, so if they include that level as the bonus dungeon, then maybe I'll be happy! :)

EDIT: Make that "Singing Mountain"... Crying Mountain was the remix and Singing Mountain was the title of the original song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=94F6pNTS7Nw

It's only sold at Toys R Us, huh? That's pretty weird! I don't know if there's any Toys R Us in San Francisco, so maybe I'll ask my mom back home in PA to pick it up for me if she sees it... It looks like the kind of game I would enjoy!
