I actually found Leviathan very useful in this game (FC/NES version), it does around 2000-2500 damage to each enemy on the screen (a lot better than Quake at the same spell level). Very useful in the Sylx Tower, Eureka and for level/skill grinding in the Bahamut cave (wipes off every enemy there => less returns to the airship inn).
when I first heard the few scenes in FFIV DS....I jizzed at the voice acting. The game is truly a fun remake of an old classic. I hope they get around to make FFV and FFVI DS remakes with the same quality as FFIV.
if you score EXATLY 7331 damage on any enemy it unlocks A Chuck Norris summon that instantly anihilates all the enemies yor fighting plus Quadruples your earnings.
I seem to recall you mentioning in the video you got him that Odin, if used by a "white" caster instead of a Summoner, would set up Reflect on all your characters at once. Wouldn't that have been a more efficient tactic than using the Barriers one at a time?
leviathin took me 2 tries, 1 at level 39, 1 at 41, Dark knight, Envoker, White mage, Black mage. also he is much harder on DS, your party would have been toast.
Oh! I've wanted to say this for a while, but I kept forgetting! If I were to make an RPG, and I wanted to make a water elemental bow, I would call it the Rain Bow.
It just dawn on me, now I know why the DS version is much harder than the original version...it's because most bosses have 2 or more attacks at the same time. Leviathan could use the tsunami attack twice in a round...why didn't I catch on to this sooner...
DS version is easier since there can never be more than 3 enemies in a battle (except when the guys in the sewers) so to balance it, the stats are worse, the ninja suck along with the sage, and the bosses are harder.
In the DS version a full-group Curaja (Cure 4) heals for about 2800 or so. Then again, if it did heal for about 400 like in this version, the game would be impossible..
FFIVDS certainly is good Mr. Bailey! I was slightly worried that the voice acting was going to end up being terrible but it is actually pretty decent and the augments are really neat as well all in all i'm pleasently suprised!
I think if HCBailly does do another side LP, it should be an action RPG or platformer, that is a completely different experience than the RPG he's doing as a main LP. Yay variety.
Yeah. Final Fantasy IV DS is awesome to play. Even though it's quite difficult, I find it more enjoyable. I love everything about the remake. And you did a great job with your vid, HC. And also, you don't have to show weak enemies all the time, just show the ones we should care about.
How do I make commentary for my videos? From the sound of your videos, you record the commentary at the same time as you're playing the game. Would you also mind suggesting any audio programs for me to use? Thanks in advance.
...Now to comment on the actual video. Great video as always. Keep up the good work.
Other Let's Play people have put up decent tutorials for that, so check them out too. LateBlt, for example, tells what he used for DOS emulation, some of which is valid for recording other stuff also.
I just beat the doctor. You want a cheap way? Use an Elixir on him when he Reverse Gasses you. Of course...I realized that on my fifth attempt with Yang at 30 HP. Yeah.
yeah im bout to buy a DS very soon like next friday cause off all the hype about FFIV and theres gonna be a chrono trigger on it before too long so no spoilers HC lol!
Final fantasy 3 on the D.S has to be my favorite game of all time,I've play 1,2&4 on the advanced and I hate how you can get into a fight with 8 guys at once,I think there great games but Final Fantasy 3 is more my stlye you should try it(Refia actucaly a girl in it and they all have a diffent back story)
I got final fantasy IV ds and ive gotten to the lunar subterean place and everythings freaking hard beyond comprehension i guess in my terms at least. Red Dragons have way 2 much health!
I've just gotten to that area as well - picked up the Murasame. I think I'll need to go in, find a save point, and use that as a base for other travels to bosses and items, as Level 63-65 characters are still taking 4-digit damage (or at least 700) on almost every hit. Now I know why I assigned a couple of the Augments the way I did (though I missed Dualcast, Reach, and Fusoya's other two, and I need a Rainbow Pudding for the others).
My characters are really in the 80's and im still getting obliterated by Blue dragons and red dragons. And there reaching there attack strength limit.
Yeah, same here - I know what I need to do to defeat two Blue Dragons at once, but it requires Rosa to get three turns! She can't survive that long against multiple Icestorms... maybe I should have her Berserk the dragons one at a time first, then Slow them? If only I could make sense of the B5 minimap...
I have a DS and final fantasy 3 for DS and it's way harder than this. The monsters can hit you more than once sometimes. The phisical attacks do so little damage even with duel weapons and that's a problem because the monsters have a lot more Hit points now for some reason. Also gaining hit points for party members seems to be harder than this you have 2000 hit points on some party members I only have 1400 hp and my party is around level 37.
Yeah, in the DS version gaining HP is a lot harder, you'll usually end the game with around 2500 hp in the mid 50's, they wanted to make it harder than the NES counterpart.
plz don't use the final jobclasses it's to cheep plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
i really need to buy a DS :(. i heard the games are awesome and if i can get one in the future i definitely plan on getting FF4 and FF3, FFTA:2, and apparently they're remaking chrono trigger for the DS too, so i'll look into that. another great vid HC
Pretty simple. Given that Dorga and Unne were disciples of Noah, it could be concluded that they'd be able to stop Zande, Noah's third disciple. Whenever the heroes of a game befriend somebody with great power, that person has to be killed to make the point that the heroes are truly the only hope for the world.

The first time you face Bahamut (in his nest), he's nearly invincible. I found out through my hex editor that he has roughly 300 million hp IIRC.
