About the Game

A remodeled 2D take on the fourth game in the world-renowned FINAL FANTASY series! Enjoy the timeless story told through charming retro graphics. All the magic of the original, with improved ease of play.

The Kingdom of Baron sent their elite airship fleet, the Red Wings, to attack the surrounding countries. Distressed by his mission, Cecil, a dark knight and captain of the Red Wings, decides to fight against the tyrannical Baron with his trusted friend and his paramour at his side. In his search for the crystals, Cecil must travel over land, under the ground, to the Land of Summons, and even to the moon. Join forces with Kain the dragoon, Rosa the white mage, Rydia the summoner, and many more skilled allies.

FFIV is the first title to introduce the dynamic "Active Time Battle" system, where time moves even during battle, giving the players an exciting sense of urgency.Thanks to the wide appeal of the game, this revolutionary system would be implemented in many future titles in the series.

Witness the dramatic story and dynamic battles in this fourth installment of the FINAL FANTASY series!

One of the all-time great JRPGs. The story was revolutionary for its time and still holds up. Cecil's journey from dark knight to paladin is iconic. The DS remake adds beautiful 3D graphics and voice acting. If you love

The first of the GOAT Final Fantasy games. People don't talk about 4 as much these days, but back in the day there were just as many people talking about 4 as 6. I think it's easy to see why: Cecil is the first antihero

It's definitely one of the final fantasy games you need to play. Great story, amazing characters, new spells, classes ect. However, this game has a sharp difficulty curve and the drop rates/encounter rates are abysmal

The beauty in old titles is seeing past the pixels. We follow Cecil, a Dark Knight facing inner turmoil with the atrocities he's forced to commit in the name of his empire. We go on a journey of self discovery and
