Gorgeous art by Yuka Miyamoto, demanding play, non-linear exploration in second half of game, great soundtrack, innovative battle system
Manic shifts in difficulty, underdeveloped and weird story, underutilised strategic battle options
Despite its undeniable artistic charms, Matrix Software's first original Final Fantasy suffers from manic difficulty shifts and an underdeveloped story...
Abstract: I've been saying for a while that Square Enix should release a completely new Final Fantasy game with a retro vibe. As it turns out, such a title did come out a few years ago, so what did I do? Buy it, put it in my backlog tote, and forget about it. For s...
Abstract: I can't imagine what it must be like to work at Square-Enix. I can't even imagine what it must be like in this day and age to be in the games industry, like almost every other entertainment medium, trying to reinvent itself and subset of genres to cont...
Abstract: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light has been referred to as a "traditional" Final Fantasy title. The word traditional is simply another way of saying "Final Fantasy titles before Final Fantasy VII." The game can be difficult, it can be obtuse, the co...

28 crowns to collect, each with unique abilities. Storybook graphics, can use touch screen or standard controls, cute characters, challenging at times, can power up crowns to earn new abilities, can upgrade weapons, there’s a nice assortment of enemies, local cooperative multiplayer and equipped items and hats make characters look different.
Story seems trunicated sometimes and some people may get lost when trying to figure out what to do next.
Charming, compact world is easily explored via hints from helpful townsfolk, Crowns allow party composition changes on a dime, Lots of element and classbased gear swaps for any occasion.
Initial hours are disjointed and full of backtracking and grinding, Menus are clunky.
It takes some time to get off the ground, but this traditional-style role-playing game is an enjoyable flight of fancy and fantasy....
