I will say I was there at the birth of rpgs and I still play them today. With all the new real time fighting systems being implemented as of late I was in dire need of some old school turn base battles. That being said the Combat is simple enough for beginners yet has enough dept for pros. Battles are quick and enjoyable and I find myself not running away as much as I use too. The Auto battle feature is nice because it lets you fights battle with no hands giving you the ability to eat and play. The story is phenomenal and will keep you wanted more. The updated graphics and voice overs really bring it all together. So if you want to try your first RPG or you've played everyone this is one game you should rent.

This is the game that pulled me into RPGs. Square's masterpiece, FINAL FANTASY IV, is now in 3D on the DS, and even better than before. The bosses are more difficult, so update your strategies used on the SNES version. The voice acting is superb, the graphics are the best I've seen so far on the DS, and the storyline (of course) is better than half the films Hollywood has been pumping out the past couple of years. Rent this or buy this as soon as possible. 10/10
