I just remembered that FF 4 After Years exists.
Final Fantasy 4 is my favorite FF game of all time. I grew up with it. I know it has its flaws compared to later games but I still love it. Its an all time classic. I was very excited but also confused when I heard a sequel was being made called Final Fantasy IV After Years because I love FF4 but how do you even continue that story. Anyway I eventually got to play the game and found it to be a huge disappointment. It felt like an incredibly low effort fan made game but I played it regardless. But because it has you save multiple files for different character stories, one day I accidentally saved over and erased the most important file and got super mad and said screw it, I'm done. So I never played the last chapter. Normally, I would not review something I have not finished but I played most of it and found it incredibly underwhelming and lazy.
Anyway, I want to hear peoples thoughts and votes on what you think of the game called After Years.
Voted for the "Okay" option. Just felt it was filled up by having repeated boss battles (Octomammoth I'm looking at you), and some of it just seemed rather pointless. There just didn't seem to be much of a plot going on.

I would've preferred a more traditional plot like in most of the Final Fantasy games instead of having to play through the scenarios of how many different characters, when really all I wanted to know was what the mysterious girl was up to. I eventually just looked at a guide on GameFaqs to get the gist of what happened afterwards, and finding out it was mostly just a long string of boss battles, I felt I couldn't really be bothered.
The new characters was the only thing I kinda enjoyed. Kain had an interesting plot, I didn't really care for Ceodore, and I honestly feel like I could do a better story (and will, wahaha)
Yeah the repetitiveness was a huge issue.
As far as the new characters, I did like Edward's new secretary Harley a bit but the new playable character that I liked the most was not actually new. The re-imagined version of Luca the Dwarf Princess was my favorite. The rest of the new cast I find rather unmemorable.
And yeah the story was largely uninteresting.
I never want to relive Edward's chapter again.

I haven't finished 4, so never bothered with the sequel. but for the record, ff4-2 did kill my parents, and I shall have revenge.
