This is my opinion!
Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remastered is a stunning remake that beautifully preserves the charm of the original while introducing modern enhancements. The graphics are gorgeous, with subtle yet impactful improvements that make the game feel both nostalgic and fresh. The reorchestrated soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu is a true masterpiece, adding a new layer of emotional depth to the game.
The quality of life updates, such as improved user interfaces and streamlined gameplay mechanics, make this classic JRPG more accessible and enjoyable than ever before without losing the charm of the original. The story, a genre-defining narrative of betrayal, love, and redemption, remains as compelling as ever with its narrative and memorable characters, just as it did when it originally released.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remastered is a must-play.

Final Fantasy IV came out in the US in 1991 as Final Fantasy 2 for the SNES. I was a 10-year old boy, but boy did this game influenced my tastes in games for decades to come. Every JRPG that came after, I just had to compare it to FFIV.
FFIV is the quintessential hero's journey. It's packed with a lot of life's lessons for any one 10-year old boy to learn. Friend becomes enemy, enemy becomes friend, morality vs loyalty, betrayal, third-party love situation, the limitation of life in old age, spoony bards, the duality of man, and journeying through self-discovery when the protagonist, Cecil, finally learns who he is and where he's from.
This port stays true to the original Japanese version with a lot of QOL improvements that makes the game easier to enjoy 30 years later. The 4x exp/gil boost is a welcomed addition along with the fast-forward feature.
It's a beautiful game that deserves it's place in history as one of the greatest JRPG ever made, with a legendary story about the human experience that resonates to this day.

In my reviews of the previous Final Fantasy games, I gave different recommendations depending on how much time you’ve got for gaming, because Final Fantasy I, II, and III are fine games in my opinion, but they’re not that great.
Final Fantasy IV, though, is a whole different story. It takes the series to the next level. The story is great, and for once, the characters actually have interesting personalities! That’s something the older games were really missing. The gameplay is solid, and everything runs smoothly. If you’re into jRPGs, you should really try this one. It's simply a great game.

FFIV is a reasonable next entry into the series. FFIV is probably the most story driven of the FF entries so far (though still don't expect an amazing story). Unlike FFIII, you can no longer swap into and out of classes at will anymore. However, the people in your party come in and out, and there is a lot of variety just because of this. You are constantly getting new members while dropping old ones (aside from the Cecil). I personally liked FFIII a bit more than FFIV as a game due to the freedom to swap around classes, but the story was better in FFIV vs FFIII.
Game aside, getting 100% achievements for FFIV is the grindiest of the entries so far, and there is a specific part that is just incredibly grindy to finish off the 100%.

I don't remember the game being this short originally, but I guess it kind of is. But much like the other entries in the PR collection, the updated graphics, animations, music, etc is all fantastic. I do wish it had some of the content from the later editions of the game, such as the Cave of Trials. It's card to call these the definitive version with cut content.

A classic game that definitely got a beautiful upgrade! The story is short but sweet, the gameplay is still just as good as ever, the soundtrack is GODLY, the boosts definitely can help new players (or players that don't wanna grind to level 70 to get that one achievement), and yeah despite it being a 33-year-old game, it still holds up remarkably well! This will always be a game I go back to!

I played both the FFIV Pixel Remaster and the FFIV 3D remake side-by-side for good comparisons
Much more fast-paced than the 3DR, also combat is simpler as well. Not as cinematic (like the other PR FF games that came prior)
Compared to the titles I played prior (1, 2, 3 PR and 3 3DR), combat changed a lot. Instead of it being a full turn-based experience, it has an action bar that fills up and when filled you'll get your turn for a character after other PCs/enemies who had action bars fill prior. Honestly a very clunky mechanic, in both variants of FFIV that I played. When casting spells, there is an invisible "Castbar" that has to fill as well, this was only apparent to me as this castbar is not invisible in the 3DR version of FFIV
Story was a massive improvement compared to the titles I played prior, for the first time in this series I honestly cared what characters were doing what and what was going on. The games seem to get better about this as I go through the series.
