I love Final Fantasy IV and I’ve already made plans to marry Final Fantasy IV DS, but let’s face it: the game was melodramatic a thousand years ago and it has not grown sunnier with age.
In fact, the new translation really amps up the angst factor. The droning voice acting has also allowed me the opportunity to work on retorts.
I crack these retorts when I am playing alone. As you might suspect, I am often alone.
Please be aware of spoilers.

Happy 4th of Joo-ly. In the interest of slacking off, I present this side-by-side comparison of Final Fantasy IV for the SNES and the upcoming remake for the Nintendo DS.
The release date for Final Fantasy IV DS is set for July 22. What’s that? Treat myself to a birthday present? Don’t mind if I do!

If you’re like me, you’ve played Final Fantasy IV at least once for every release across the years (barring the Wonderswan remake, because come on). By now, you’ve probably decided what the characters sound like. Well, tell your brain to make some room, because the latest trailer for Final Fantasy IV DS matches up the characters with their first English voices.

Oh Cecil. If you don’t straighten up, people are going to start thinking that all Lunarians are…y’know, like you.
