It's also immediately obvious that the story in FFIV is meant to drive the game. I'm invested in the saga of Cecil and his companions in a way that I never was with FFI through FFIII. This is still from the era of Final Fantasy games that I've never played before, so each twist and turn is a delight for me. I'm so excited to see where the characters end up. *Spoilers* I've already guided Cecil on his path to redemption and watched him find solace in his transformation from a dark knight to a paladin. I was touched when Polom and Porom sacrificed themselves so that the other members of the party could live. I was legitimately upset when Rosa was taken away because I enjoyed seeing the positive influence she had on Cecil. *End Spoilers* I don't know what the next twist will be, but I'm excited to experience it.
