How am I supposed to answer this question? Haven't you ever played FF4/2 before in any other installment?
It's the same in that they are both RPG's...but different as well...well as different as a variation as one should expect between the FF titles. The main difference really is that until 4 came out the FF series really hadn't hit the story telling sweet spot. FF4 was a big step for RPG's in terms of story telling.
IV has a much better plot, less level grinding (each character has a set job, so you only have to worry about levels, not job levels), characters that come + go (except for Cecil), and a very different setting. These characters have much more personality, and the DS version has voice acting as well.
The battle system is completely different as well.

Your action frequency is controlled by a bar; when it fills up, thats when you can attack/useitem/escape/magic etc.
I think that final fantasy IV is hands down the best final fantasy game. I do believe that the other FF games are good even great in some cases but none of them (YES even FF7 which seems to be the FF that alot of people started with) compare to the story line of FFIV. The characters are bada## where as most RPG characters are blond haired fruits these days.
FF6 would be closest to FF7 if anything, but yeah FF4 doesn't seem bad (story wise) like FF3 did IMO.I would say FF4 is closest to FF7. Heavy on story and light on customization.
So if you like other FF games but not FF3, feel safe getting FF4.

if the gameplay is going to be same does that mean its going to be turn-based?FlyyerAgain, no. It plays more like V, VI, VII, VIII, X-2, and IX than I, II, III, X, or XII.
Wow, until I read this thread, I was thinking of passing on FF4 because I was worried it'd be too much like FF3... Which would suck.
Wow, the battle system like in FF7? Awesomeness! Now I think I'll be picking this bad boy up.
FF4 has series second best music, and the new versions new arrangements is the main reason to buy this game for me. Music is second only to the FF6.
I think this version is the hard version, if I'm not mistaken.planetvash112No, the DS version is an all-new game. The easy version (the SNES version that we got) wasn't really easier in my experience; just stripped-down.
