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!

That was my first Final Fantasy game back around 2005-2010 on the GBA, I got stuck 3/4 late into the game as I rarely used guides back then. I am on a journey to 100% all Final Fantasy, maybe up to VI (6) 100%

FF4 is JRPG and Final Fintasy at its finest. The story is to well paced, never felt anything was dragging, the progression was amazing and especially near the end game. Cecil and all the other characters were great,

Within the first four hours of Final Fantasy IV, I could already tell this game was a huge leap forward compared to the previous three games. I can only imagine how people must have felt playing this on the SNES back

Final Fantasy IV is a very simple but still good JRPG for a 1991 game. Story of FFIV is simple, but good. Even though it is really simple, it definitely has a better story than some modern RPGs xdd. The writing is not

Very good, enjoyable game. Simple but likeable characters, very pretty art and easy to follow story. VI and VII are definitely deeper games, both gameplay-wise and story-wise, but I found this game's simplicity to be
