I am debating between both these games and would like to hear your opinion. Both have the same review score, and both look like they would entertain me for long periods of time.

What is the play time for both games (how many hours to complete)

Graphics? which is better

Replay value? is there any in either

and which is less frustrating difficulty wise?

Thanks for your help.

I haven't played the DS version of FF4 yet (though I have played the SNES version back in the day), but I had a blast with TWEWY. There is plenty of stuff to do, even after you've beaten the game. Graphics are good, the story is great, the difficulty is adjustable...buy it!

TWEWY is a great game, and this may sound biased. I never liked TWEWY that much, since it didn't feel very fleshed out. I think the DS remake of FF4, honestly blows it out of the water. Both games are great, but I just didn't enjoy TWEWY. It's unique, but feels empty. Visuals are great for both, and the story is great for both (that's what kept me from returning the game. >_>).

TWEWY is a way better game. I loved everything about it. Even the annoying background music. I only played FFIV for about 20mins which is just long enuff to find out that its turn-based before I got sick of it. Altho it did kinda remind me of Tales of Symphonia (one of the greatest games for gamecube). But its turn-based:evil:. That's what I hate the most. It would have been great if it wasn't. So if you like turn-based games then get FFIV. But if you're a hater like myself then TWEWY is perfect!!!:D

well, actually, i didn't mention this earlier, but if you're anything like me, twewy will be repetitive as hell.

edit: FF4 is quite a bit harder than TWEWY.

haven´t played FFIV DS yet, but I´m in Barcelona right now and I have TWERY. The graphics are really nice, haven´t beaten the game yet but there´s probably little replay value, but the battle system is AWESOME. I will probably buy FFIVDS when I get back to the States, or import Rhythm Tengoku for the same price. I dunno, man, but TWERY is hard to find. But do get it if you can! It´s well worth the 40 bling.

as far as i know, the only final fantasy games that havn't been turn based were the spin offs, im suprised you didnt know thats how it would play before you bought it. on a side note, Tales of Symphonia is my favorite rpg i've played thus far.

I'm interested in how this argument turns out. I recently bought TWEWY and my brother bought FFIV and I want to make sure I got the good one.

I forgot to mention, TWEWY has Secret Reports (basically, you replay through missions in order to get certain things/information on the story) and a side quest after you beat the game. There's a lot of replayability there, but I couldn't muster up the will to do it. >_>

I may be in the minority but I never really hyped about TWEWY. I got TWEWY, it has nice graphics and has a fresh feeling to it, nice bg music too, but after some time I got bored of the battle system and lost interest in playing. I would prefer FFIV against TWEWY if I were you.

Personally, I don't believe that a comparison of the two is appropriate. However, in terms of rarity I would pickup a copy of The World Ends With You as soon as possible.

both games were very promising it's really hard to compare them however TWEY is better to me in it's unique game play.

I am loving both. But if you like turn-based battles you should get Final Fantasy IV, if you do not like them then you should pick The World Ends With You.

Yeah, thats the idea, TWEWY is unique, you can compare final fantasy IV with another FF but you cannot compare TWEWY with anything...

Graphics would go to FF
replay value-the world ends with you
you can change difficulty on TWEWY...not sure about FF :S

In the end you should get TWEWY...great characters, great story, just a perfect game

Hmmm, Im going to go with Twewy since im not a big fan of the FF remakes. But I'd say in terms of graphics Twewy wins because its graphics style is completely different and works better on the ds then 3d polygons with jagged textures!

But hey, depends on if you want a great turn-based, strategic game get FF4. But if you want a more unique and fun battle system def. get Twewy.

Plus TWEWY comes with one of teh greatest soundtracks ive ever heard in a video game, Im listening to the music almost as much as I actually play the game!

The story has the same story style as a KH game, you dont really know all the secrets until you really explore and find the secret reports.
