FINAL FANTASY: THE FOUR HEROES OF LIGHT
Don’t let the chibi art style fool you my friends. Final Fantasy: Four Heroes of Light took inspiration from old-school JRPG’s like Fantasy III, V, an VI. The classic turn-based combat reminded players of the old days while keeping the game modern and fresh. The initial difficulty curve at the beginning of the game alone just proves how the title hearkens back to the grind fest that were older Final Fantasy games. But once you get your levels up and become an official team of the four heroes, the game gets way easier to handle.
The Nintendo DS had so many amazing RPG’s that it’s hard to go back and play all of them. Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light released the same year that the very controversial Final Fantasy XIII came out, causing the DS title to not receive as much time in the spotlight as it could have.
A proper sequel was being worked on but then evolved and ended up turning into Bravely Default, a spiritual successor of sorts.
