Final
Fantasy IV was really released in the
US
as Final Fantasy II as the Japanese gamers managed to get FFII and III on the
Nintendo Famicom (NES in North America) which never made it to North American
shores unfortunately. Square decided to test the RPG market in the US
again as many North American gamers who played and enjoyed the original Final
Fantasy were longing for another epic RPG game in the Final Fantasy series.
After they finally decided to release FFIV (FFII in the U.S.) in North America,
many RPG fans in North America finally got their wish and the game proved to
be another great effort in the part of Square. While the game still didn’t
get the attention that many of it’s fans believe it deserved, it sold pretty
well still in the US and it became clear that Square is number one when it comes
to making epic RPGs as the other RPG games during this time were nowhere near
as good as the Final Fantasy series with the exception of Dragon Quest.
Square believed that Final Fantasy IV would be too hard for American RPG gamers
and they decided to release a watered-down version of FFII (FFIV in Japan) to
North America while the Japanese gamers still got the FFIV-hardtype version
to their liking. The majority of RPG fanatics were extremely pleased with
FFII and the game had the best character development and storyline out of any
RPG game to date and even now, it still manages to hold it’s own against newer
FFs. Continuing on the Crystal concept found in the original story, Square
expands on them further as they are now more integral to the storyline and many
new themes occur in FFII, which makes FFIV a solid RPG in its own right.
How does FFIV stack up against newer RPGs like Final Fantasy IX and Xenogears?
Well read on the review to find out………
Final Fantasy IV starts off with Dark Knight Cecil, Captain of the Red
Wings, an elite group of soldiers sent by King Baron of the Kingdom of Baron
to capture all the Crystals by any means necessary. Cecil and the rest of the
Red Wings were sent by King Baron to capture the Water Crystal of Mysidia and
are forced to murder any innocent beings who get in their way. After returning
home to Ba
ron again, Cecil greets King Baron and then gives him the Water Crystal
but then King Baron believes that Cecil can’t be trusted as Cecil seems reluctant
to follow orders. The King then dismisses Cecil from commanding the Red Wings
but Cecil and the Red Wings then tell the King that they are displeased with
taking the Crystal. The King then takes away Cecil’s command of the Red Wings
and then tells Cecil to kill the Phantom monster in the Mist Valley and to deliver
the Bomb Ring to the Mist Village. Kain then goes into the room and then convinces
the King to reconsider his decision and then the King tells Kain to go with
Cecil to the Mist Valley as Kain is certain that Cecil will be back in command
shortly. After talking a bit with Cid, Baron’s chief airship engineer and Rosa,
who is Cecil’s childhood friend and love interest, Kain and Cecil then head
out to the Mist Valley……..
After exploring the nearby
town of Baron for a bit, Kain and Cecil then enter the Mist Valley and after
defeating the monsters in the Mist Cave, Cecil and Kain then arrive in the Mist
Village but then the Bomb Ring starts to glow and releases a group of Bomb monsters
which burns the whole town and it surprises Kain and Cecil. A little girl cries
for help and Cecil and Kain then find out that her mother died and Cecil admits
that he killed her mother’s dragon. Kain then realizes that the King wants them
to eliminate the summoners as well but Cecil and Kain then go against the King’s
orders and they decide not to kill the girl. The girl is frightened and summons
Titan which destroys the mountainside as well and Cecil wakes up to find the
girl lying nearby but Kain is nowhere to be seen. Cecil then decides to take
her to the nearby village of Kaipo to help her. After heading to the inn to
rest, Cecil and the little girl sleep but they are later on interrupted by a
Baron General and he then sends some guards to kill the little girl. Cecil refuses
the orders and he then protects the girl from the General and the guards and
after defeating them, Cecil and the little girl then goes to sleep for good.
The next morning, Cecil explores the village for a bit only to find a very sick
Rosa in a building nearby and the man tells Cecil that he needs to find the
Sand Ruby to cure her. The little girl then tells Cecil that her name is Rydia
and then they both head out to find the Sand Ruby. They enter the Water Cavern
and they later on find a mysterious old sage in Tellah and Tellah asks Cecil
and Rydia to help save his daughter from an evil bard. Tellah then joins up
with Cecil and Rydia and then after going through the cavern, they all head
to the nearby Kingdom of Damcyan.
Just upon arriving in Damcyan,
Cecil and the others then see the Red Wings bomb the Kingdom and Cecil and the
others decide to check out what happened by entering the Kingdom. Some of the
survivors tell then tell Cecil and the others that the Red Wings took their
Crystal and then later on, Tellah sees his daughter Anna lying on the floor
and he sees the bard and then attacks him. Eventually, Anna tells Tellah to
stop and the bard, Edward tells Tellah that a man named Golbez led the Red Wings
to take the Crystal and that Anna protected him from enemy attack. Tellah gets
angry and then swears to get revenge on Golbez on his own and the walks away.
Edward then keeps on crying but then Rydia makes him snap out of it and they
all decide to venture to get the Sand Ruby using his hovercraft. After heading
east, they then manage to reach the Antlion Cave and eventually, they reach
the Antlion who has the Sand Ruby. After defeating the Antlion, Cecil and the
others head back to Kaipo and Cecil gives Rosa the Sand Ruby and then Rosa tells
Cecil that she secretly followed him and that Golbez is the new Captain of the
Red Wings appointed by the King himself. She later on tells Cecil and the others
that Golbez will go after the next 3 Crystals and Edward tells Rosa that the
Fire Crystal of Damcyan is already taken by Golbez. Edward then tells the others
that Fabul must be the next target of Golbez but it is blocked by ice at Mt.
Hobs and then Rosa asks Rydia if she can cast Fire but sadly, she can’t yet.
Rosa joins up with Cecil and the others and then during
the night, Edward plays
his harp by the water and is attacked by a WaterHag and during the battle, the
ghost of Anna cheers him on and then Edward wins the battle. She tells Edward
it’s all a dream and then the next day, Cecil and the others head to Mt. Hobs
and then Rosa then asks Rydia to cast Fire to melt the ice but Rydia hates Fire
as it burned her village. Rydia eventually casts Fire and then eventually, the
encounter a monk named Yang fighting some enemies and then Cecil and the others
help him out. Cecil and the others warn Yang that Golbez is after the Wind Crystal
and they then hurry to Fabul. After arriving in Fabul Castle, Cecil and the
others explore a bit and then Yang tells the King that trouble is near and then
Cecil, Yand and Edward decide to defend the castle while Rydia and Rosa stay
behind. After defeating a few Baron guards, the Red Wings bomb the castle and
then several waves of battles later, Yang, Cecil and Edward then retreat to
the Crystal room of the castle and then Kain appears. Cecil asks him to fight
alongside him like always but then Kain decides to fight against you!
Kain
defeats Cecil easily and then Rosa and Rydia enter the room and then Kain seems
weak when Rosa appears but then Golbez walks in the room and then easily wipes
out Yang and Edward and then Kain takes the Wind Crystal. Rosa wants them to
stop but then Golbez kidnaps her and then goes away and Kain follows along as
well. Cecil and the others agree that the best way to get Rosa back from Golbez
is to sneak into Baron by boat and then the King of Fabul provides Yang and
the others with a boat. Later on Cecil tells Yang that they plan on getting
an airship from Cid once they reach Baron to catch Golbez and then Yang’s wife
encourages them before leaving on their journey. At sea, a whirlpool appears
and then Leviathian pops out and then the boat sinks and then Cecil finds out
that he’s all alone. Cecil enters the town of Mysidia and all the people there
hate Cecil as he stole their Crystal in the beginning of the game and then Cecil
finds the town elder and the elder tells Cecil to overcome his dark-self before
fighting against Baron. He suggests that Cecil goes to Mt. Ordeals and become
a Paladin and then he brings along Palom and Porom, twin mages who will help
Cecil along the way.
After arriving at Mt. Ordeals,
Palom takes out some flames with Ice Magic and then a scene occurs afterwards
in which Rosa is tied up underneath a guillotine type blade and then Golbez
summons Milon, one of the four element fiends. Kain doesn’t believe Milon is
enough to get rid of Cecil and the others and offers to go after them instead,
but Golbez doesn’t like the idea much however. Near the top of the mountain,
Cecil and the others find Tellah again and seeks the elite spell Meteo on the
mountain to defeat Golbez. Tellah joins up with them and at the top of the mountain,
they encounter Milon and then a battle occurs. After defeating him Milon then
attacks them from behind and then Cecil and the others finally defeat him for
good. Cecil and the others encounter a pillar and Cecil hears the voice of his
father and then he ends up fighting his old dark-self. After defeating it, Cecil
then becomes a Paladin and is no longer an evil, dark knight anymore and then
Tellah learns all his old spells, including Meteo! They all return to Mysidia
to tell the elder the great news and then after talking to the elder, he then
admits that Palom and Porom were sent as spies just to watch Cecil. The old
Mysidian Legend is recited once again and then Tellah demands to find and defeat
Golbez and the elder opens up a road to Baron. Palom and Porom decide to tag
along and then Cecil and the others head to Baron. They head to the inn nearby
and then they find Yang and then Yang orders some guards to get you and after
the battle, Cecil and the others fight Yang and then Yang comes to his senses
finally. He tells Cecil that Rydia was swallowed by Leviathian and that Edward
is now gone and he gives you the Baron Key which allows you to sneak into the
castle. After g
oing through a waterway, they all reach Baron Castle and then
Cecil and the others enter the castle and then Baigan of the Baron army decides
to join Cecil and the others but then betrays then and after defeating him,
Cecil and the others find the King and it appears the King is none other than
another one of the four elemental fiends, Cagnazzo.
After defeating him, Cecil
and the others eventually meet up with Cid and then later on, the walls of the
castle try to crush Cecil and the others but then Palom and Porom then sacrifice
themselves by turning to stone to save the others. Meanwhile, Golbez is extremely
angry at Cecil’s power and Kain suggests making Cecil get the Crystal for him
by offering Rosa up for the Crystal and then taking Cecil out in the process.
Later on, Cid then offers Cecil and the others the use of his airship, the Enterprise
and then Cid joins up with Cecil and the others and then another airship flys
by. Kain then tells Cecil to get the Earth Crystal for him if Cecil ever wants
Rosa alive again and then Kain leaves. Cecil and the others then travel to Troia
and they enter the city of Troia. After exploring through the city for a bit,
Cecil and the others then head into nearby Troia Castle. Cecil and the others
then manage to find Edward inside the Castle, where Edward is resting his wounds
and Edward then gives Cecil the “TwinHarp” which it might help agains the Dark
Elf, who has the Earth Crystal. After reaching the Magnetic Cavern, Cecil and
the others feel a strange source of Magnetic energy and they eventually encounter
the Dark Elf in the Crystal room. After being easily defeated by the Dark Elf,
Edward senses that trouble is lurking and he uses the last of his strength to
play his harp and the music manages to break the Dark Elf’s magnetic field.
Cecil and the others re-equip themselves and then after defeating the Dark Elf,
they get the Earth Crystal and return back to Troia Castle again. The clerics
in Troia Castle marvel at the return of their Earth Crystal and then Cecil hears
the voice of Kain telling him and the others to board the airship again. Kain
then tells Cecil and the others to go to the Tower of Zot.
After reaching the Tower,
Cecil and the others eventually manage to encounter Kain and Golbez and then
Cecil gives Golbez the Earth Crystal and Golbez tricks Cecil and doesn’t give
Rosa back. Tellah then decides to fight Golbez to avenge Anna and then decides
to cast Meteo on Golbez, using the last ounce of his strength. Unfortunately,
Tellah dies and failed to get his revenge on Golbez and then Golbez attacks
Cecil but he couldn’t finish off for some reason and his control over Kain is
broken. Kain apologizes and he then joins up with Cecil and the others and they
save Rosa before the blade finishes her off and then after talking with Cecil
and the others, Rosa joins up with the others. They then all encounter Valvadis,
the next elemental fiend and after defeating her, Rosa casts Exit and they return
back to Baron Castle. Cecil finds himself back in his room again and then Kain
tells Cecil that there are actually 8 Crystals present in the world, the 4 that
Golbez has and the 4 Dark Crystals that are hidden underground. He then explains
that when all 8 Crystals gather together, a path to the moon will open up and
then Kain gives Cecil the Magma Key needed to use to get underground. Cecil
and the others board the Enterprise and they then head to the town of Agart
by a large mountain. Cecil and the others enter the town and after dropping
the Magma Key in the large well, a hole opens up in the mountain and then Cecil
and the others head into the hole. After a battle between the Red Wings and
some tanks, the Enterprise then lands underground and then Cecil and the others
head inside to a nearby Castle.
After arriving in the Castle,
Cecil and the others then talk to King Giott and he tells Cecil that two of
the four Dark Crystals are already gone but Giott’s Crystal is still safe for
now. King Giott asks Cecil and the others to defend the Castle using Cid’s airship
but then Cid tells him that the airship is beat up for the time being so he
has to go and repair it. King Giott claims the Crystal is hidden safely behind
the throne but then Yang senses something is wrong and they see a bunch of dolls
dancing around in the Crystal room and after defeating them, Golbez appears
and then explains that with the 8 Crystals, he can open the Tower of Babil which
opens up a path to the moon which holds power beyond compression. Golbez then
attacks Cecil and the others and later on, Rydia joins Cecil and the others
and they manage to defeat Golbez with her help. Rydia then explains to the others
that Leviathian took her to the Land of the Summons and they became friends
and there, she learned her summoning abilities but lost her white magic power
altogether. She also explains that time flows differently there which explains
why she looks a little older now and just as Cecil and the others leave, Golbez’s
hand reaches out and takes the Crystal and disappears. Giott then explains that
Cecil and the others head to the Tower of Babil to get the Crystals back and
Cecil and the others agree. Inside the Tower, Cecil and the others find the
TowerKey and later on Yang appears to sacrifice himself and then later on, Cecil
and the others encounter Golbez and he then destroys the bridge, leading Cecil
and the others to almost certain death. Cecil and the others get saved by Cid,
flying in the new Enterprise and then the Red Wings chase after the Enterprise.
Cid then tells Cecil to take over as he tries to seal the cave with a bomb and
he tells the others to head to Baron as he sets himself up the bomb and it seems
he has died.
Back in Baron Castle, Cecil
and the others find Cid’s two helpers and they attach a hook to the
Enterprise
which will help Cecil and the others along the way for their journey. Cecil
and the others head to Eblan Castle and after exploring for a little bit, they
head to Cave Eblan nearby and inside the cave, they encounter Edge, who is the
prince of Eblan and from there, they all head to the Tower of Babil. Inside
the tower, they encounter Edge’s mother and father, Queen and King Eblan and
a battle occurs. After a scene involving Edge and his parents, Rubicant, the
final elemental fiend comes in and then Edge and the others eventually defeat
him and then Rubicant vanishes. Later on, Eblan troops rush in and they offer
to help Cecil and the others but it is not needed and then Cecil explains to
Edge about the whole Golbez thing and the Crystals too. Edge and the others
steal an airship from the Red Wing fleet, called the “Falcon” and they all head
back to see King Giott again. Later on, King Giott gives Cecil a mystical necklace
to enter the sealed cave and then Cecil and the others find Cid sleeping inside
the castle. They manage to explain their dilemma to Cid, since the sealed cave
is over lava and then Cid upgrades the Falcon to their liking and the goes back
to sleep again after finishing the upgrades. Cecil and the others then finally
head off to the Sealed Cave and after entering it, they eventually manage to
find the Dark Crystal and then the walls close in on them and they end up fighting
an evil wall.
After defeating it, Cecil
and the others reach the entrance of the cave and they hear Golbez’s voice again
and he controls Kain once again and then Kain takes the Crystal away from Cecil
and into Golbez’s hands. Cecil and the others head back to the Dwarven Castle
again and then King Giott tells them about the Lunar Whale Ship, the moon and
the old Mysidian Legend. Cid installs a drill on the Falcon so that Cecil and
the others can head back to Earth and then Cecil and the others manage to return
back to Mysidia. At Mysidia, the Elder tells about the Mysidian Legend and they
all pray and summon the Lunar Whale and then Cecil and the others use the Lunar
Whale to head to the moon to go after Golbez and Kain. After going through the
Lunar Path, Cecil and the others enter the Crystal Palace and they meet a strange
old man named FuSoYa, a lunarian and then he tells about the lunarians and explains
that Golbez is being controlled by another lunarian named Zemus and that he
plans on summoning the Giant of Babil from the Tower of Babil to destroy Earth.
FuSoYa also tells Cecil that he is half-lunarian and then they head back to
Earth where they find the Giant of Babil trying to destroy Earth.
Cecil finds that most of
his friends are helping out to try and take down the Giant like Edward, Yang,
Palom and Porom and many more. Cecil and the others hop into Cid’s airship and
then they enter the Giant of Babil. Inside the Giant, Cecil and the others encounter
the Four Elemental Fiends 
once again and after defeating them for good, Cecil
and the others find Golbez and then FuSoYa casts a spell which removes Zemus’
control over Golbez and it is revealed that Golbez is Cecil’s brother. The Giant
them crumbles and then Kain is no longer under control anymore and they all
head back to the Lunar Whale. Cecil and the others then head back to the Crystal
Palace on the moon to go after Zemus and stop him once and for all. FuSoYa and
Golbez go on ahead and then Cecil and the others teleport themselves to the
Lunar Subterrane. Eventually, Cecil and the others meet up with Golbez and FuSoYa
who have confronted Zemus and they fight him. They both cast Meteo on Zemus
and then Zemus is defeated and turns into his true form, called Zeromus. Golbez
and FuSoYa go after Zeromus but then Golbez tries to use the Crystal on Zeromus
but it doesn’t work in the hands of darkness and then Zeromus defeats Golbez
and FuSoYa. Golbez gives the Crystal to Cecil and then back on Earth, all of
Cecil’s friends pray and then Cecil and the others gain power from them and
they fight Zeromus to determine the fate of the world. Cecil and the others
defeat Zeromus and then after a scene, Golbez goes with FuSoYa to know more
about his lunarian past and thanks Cecil and then Cecil and the others head
back to Earth. Cecil and Rosa then get married and become the new King and Queen
of Baron and thus, FFIV ends and the ending is a good one. This concludes the
full-story of FFIV, and it’s a solid storyline as well……

For it’s time, Final Fantasy IV’s graphics were considered very good for it’s time with excellent detail on the actual backgrounds and the animations were quite fluid for the most part overall. FFIV made significant improvements in terms of graphical capabilities over the previous FF game, FFIII. Using the added power found on the SNES, Square managed to make surprising advancements in terms of spell effects along with many other graphical treats as well. As usual, FFIV goes with the standard “Super-Deformed” style characters found in previous FF games and they are animated better than ever before. The backgrounds are well-detailed although some of them are kind of repetitive but considering that FFIV is the first FF game for the SNES, the backgrounds were equally as impressive. The graphical style is old-school with a medieval setting found in many RPG games and the summon animations are a huge leap over FFIII. From amazing spells such as Meteo to beautifully drawn character sprites and enemies as well as gorgeous backgrounds, FFIV’s graphics are definitely something to marvel about and it is sure to please any old-school RPG fan. But that’s not to say that the graphics are perfect though, FFIV does suffer a bit from slowdown at times, especially during the final boss battle and while some areas of the game are very similar to each other, FFIV’s graphics are still considered very good for the most part. With that set aside, FFIV made large leaps in terms of graphics from FFIII and it made use of the new SNES hardware at the time, a big plus in my opinion. In the FF Chronicles remake of FFIV, Square added in some FMVs although there are very few and the quality is quite poor in my opinion. But still, the graphics in FFIV for the most part are solid and the game runs at nice frame rate. FFIV’s graphics are the best that I’ve seen in any RPG game during it’s time and it’s one of the game’s strongest points.
The gameplay in FFIV is fairly solid although the game is quite challenging
due to the fact that you can only carry so many items throughout the game. Unlike
newer games, FFIV has a limit of items that you can carry, so you really have
to be conservative in this game but that’s a good thing since it makes the game
harder. Although the overall gameplay isn’t entirely innovative as character
s
learn magic as they level up, the gameplay in FFIV is solid and there is nothing
you can truly fault about FFIV. However, weapons and armor in FFIV have confusing
names and all different types of armor usually have the same name, like a set
of some sort which is pretty interesting in my opinion. Other than that, FFIV
doesn’t really offer anything special from other FF games; it’s the usual RPG
drill, level up, gain experience points and so on. The game is challenging though,
which is a good thing but there are a lot of enemy encounters in the game. Nothing
to fault about that though, but it does get tedious after awhile but otherwise,
the gameplay in FFIV is solid and it doesn’t confuse anyone, which is good but
however, it doesn’t offer anything different from past FF games. The gameplay
is solid overall but not phenomenal or anything though but it’s still good in
my humble opinion and many RPG gamers would probably agree with me on this one.
The storyline in FFIV is quite interesting and it’s more complex that any other FF game before it. There are a solid amount of twists and turns throughout the storyline in FFIV although the game is quite short compared to FFVII or FFIX. Still, the game is nevertheless challenging and the storyline is quite intriguing to many RPG fanatics alike. As usual, Crystals are present in FFIV, just like in previous FF games and every character has their own class, each with unique set abilities. For example, Rosa is a White Mage and can only use White Magic and Rydia is a summoner, who can summon monsters like Bahamut, Ifrit and so on. While this isn’t varied, it was still considered good for it’s time and the overall pace of the storyline is good, with no actual storyline slowdown or stuff like that as the storyline is fluid with plenty of twists and turns throughout the course of the game. There are many twists throughout FFIV and the ending is also not bad as well and there really isn’t much that ruins the storyline overall so that’s a good thing. The storyline is short, not too complex, yet not too simple which is good and has the perfect balance of drama, plot twists and suspense to keep gamers interested during the course of the game. While some events can be cheesy, FFIV’s storyline is still great and it’s quite well-written for the most part overall……
The music in FFIV is very good with plenty of nice classical tracks present throughout the game. While some tracks may be repetitive, but they are pure genius on the part of Nobuo Uematsu and FFIV features some of Nobuo Uematsu’s best work. Most of the classical FF themes are present like the standard victory fanfare found in every FF game and the usual “Crystal” theme is back once again, sounding better than ever. Most of the tracks in FFIV fit the mood of the game very well in my opinon although the tracks sometimes lack in terms of variety but nevertheless, they are still a real treat to listen to. The sound effects may not be the best as they sound out of date in terms of today’s standards but the sword slashes are excellent sounding and the boss theme is pretty good in my opinion. Most characters don’t have their own theme song unlike other FF games but overall I enjoyed the game’s tracks very much although some tracks seem just a tad cheesy in my opinion. Aside for the cheese factor, FFIV has some classical sounding tracks and its old-school FF at their very best. Sound is another strong point in FFIV, as if good graphics aren’t enough although some battle effects sound a little weird but considering that FFIV is the first FF game on the SNES, I’d say that Square did a very good job on the music in FFIV.
FFIV
is actually quite an interesting and fun game, even though it’s an old RPG game.
Anyways, there are a good amount of sidequests throughout the course of FFIV
and there are quite a few considering that FFIV is an old FF game. FFIV’s sidequests
aren’t entirely fun and exciting to everyone although I must say that they are
challenging, nevertheless. The storyline is interesting but
there isn’t that
much to do besides that but still, FFIV does have a few extras that might be
worth checking out like getting every character’s final weapons and getting
some secret summons and so on……. The sidequests are an integral part to your
success in FFIV as the secret summons are pretty essential to your success throughout
the game and they are truly helpful. The storyline itself is interesting and
it will make gamers interested for at least a couple of times through. Although
after beating the game several times, gamers will probably want something else
to do but unfortunately, there isn’t anything else much to do after you’ve beaten
the game several times. The fun factor for this game is pretty good but it’s
not excellent or anything though. Still FFIV is a fun game, regardless……….
For
the most part FFIV doesn’t have too many faults which directly affect the game,
most of them are minor and they don’t really hurt the game in any real way.
While FFIV’s gameplay isn’t innovative or anything like that, it’s simple and
efficient for the most part although sometimes it lacks variety but it’s still
good nevertheless. The item organization isn’t all that great in FFIV although
it makes the game harder and more challenging overall. The graphics were pretty
good for it’s time and the backgrounds were colourful and the character animations
had some good detail in them as well. The spell effects are actually flashy
but they get the job done, regardless and the music in FFIV is
classical FF
fare, with excellent music and it fits the emotion and mood very well with the
exception of a few cheesy scenes and tracks. The character development is solid
and while only a few characters have strong roles in the game, considering that
FFIV is an old game, the character development is solid although not excellent
or anything. The storyline in FF4 is interesting, not too complex but yet not
too simple so that’s good and there are enough storyline twists to keep gamers
interested for quite some time. Plus, there are several sidequests to keep people
busy for quite some time and some of them are pretty challenging although it’s
nothing too special though. Overall, FFIV is an excellent old-school FF and
it’s a deep and compelling RPG game with plenty of twists and turns in the story
to make gamers interested for some time. In my opinion, with excellent musical
tracks and good graphics along with an interesting storyline, FF4 is old school
Final Fantasy at it’s best and it’s one of the best RPG games on the SNES.
