Final Fantasy 4 Overview
Final Fantasy 4 is a turn based role playing game that was originally released for the Super Nintendo. The main story follows the character, Cecil, as he turns from a dark knight into a heroic white knight. Today this game may seem to be a cardboard cut out of every other turn based role playing game, but this was one of the first. The characters are appealing, the combat system is simple, the soundtrack is good, but there is no replayability and today the graphics are pretty dated.
