This was also the first Final Fantasy to have actual character personalities to tell a legitimate story.įFIV has been ported to several other platforms such as the Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, and Sony PSP along with its sequel Final Fantasy IV: The After Years with an Interlude in between. This served to make them more realistic and therefore more relatable instead of just interchangeable avatars. IV was also the first Final Fantasy to give each character their own unique and (mostly) unalterable character class.

It was originally released for the SNES in 1991, introducing aspects that became staples of not only the Final Fantasy franchise, but RPGs in general such as the Active Time Battle (ATB) System. It also has the unique trait of containing my favorite male main character in addition to my most hated character in the entire series.įinal Fantasy IV was also known as known as Final Fantasy II for its initial North American release, because the Final Fantasy numbering system is messed up (discussed more in the FFIII review linked above), but as is plain now, the game is the fourth installment in the still popular and ever ironic “Final” Fantasy series. Final Fantasy IV is my third favorite Final Fantasy, and given how much I love this series, that position is nothing to scoff at. I have been waiting to review this game since I initially started this project back in December 2015. These will be long-form reviews with detailed plot analyses, so please be wary if you do not want spoilers. Ideally, I will attempt to play a portion so that I can remark more accurately on the gameplay experience. Whenever possible, I will play the original version, but in cases where it’s not available and/or there are time constraints, I’ll use a port and/or watch a Let’s Play, both of which contingencies will be indicated in the review.
