'''''Final Fantasy IV''''' is the fourth installment of the ''[[Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series. It was originally released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in July 1991 for Japan and November 1991 in North America. It was the second ''Final Fantasy'' game to release in North America, so the original release was titled '''''Final Fantasy II'''''. In October 1991, a month before the North American release, an easier version of ''Final Fantasy IV'' released in Japan, titled '''''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type'''''.

''Final Fantasy IV'' is the first game with [[Active Time Battle]]s, where characters and opponents fight in real time, meaning that they do not wait for the other side to attack. This feature has been included in subsequent ''Final Fantasy'' games and other RPGs in general. ''Final Fantasy IV'' is one of the earliest games to utilize the {{wp|Mode 7}} graphics chip. The game received critical acclaim upon its release.

Like other 2D ''Final Fantasy'' titles, ''Final Fantasy IV'' received several [[reissue]]s over the years, and several of the lesser significant releases were exclusively released in Japan. In 1997, the game received a [[PlayStation]] remake in Japan. In 2001, ''Final Fantasy IV'' was included on the North America-exclusive compilation title, ''[[Final Fantasy Chronicles]]'' and has since dropped its ''Final Fantasy II'' title. In 2002, another remake was released for [[WonderSwan Color]]. In 2005, ''Final Fantasy IV'' was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] under the title ''[[Final Fantasy IV Advance]]''. In 2008, the game received a [[Final Fantasy IV (3D remake)|20th Anniversary Edition remake]] for the [[Nintendo DS]], following after the 3D remake of ''[[Final Fantasy III (3D remake)|Final Fantasy III]]''.

In 2009, the game received a follow-up title, ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The After Years]]'', which was first released as a [[WiiWare]] title. In 2011, both ''Final Fantasy IV'' and its follow-up were included on the compilation title, ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection]]''.

==Story==
[[File:FF4 Cecil Red Wings commander.png|thumb|left|200px|Cecil commanding the Red Wings during the game's intro]]
''Final Fantasy IV'' begins with the monarchy of [[Baron]] using the [[Red Wings]] to attack peaceful nations and find four powerful Crystals that correspond to the classical elements. [[Cecil]] questions the king's motives after stealing the [[Water Crystal]] from the town [[Mysidia]], where several of its inhabitants were killed. Upon questioning the king, Cecil is stripped of his rank and is sent with [[Kain]] to deliver a package containing the {{hover|[[Carnelian Signet]]|Named Bomb Ring in Final Fantasy IV Advance and earlier releases}} to the village of [[Mist (location)|Mist]]. To reach the mountain valley where the Village is located, the two traverse the [[Mist Cave]] and defeat the [[Mist Dragon]] guarding it.

Upon reaching Mist, Cecil and Kain discover that the package is an explosive. It explodes and causes destruction of the town and kills many of its inhabitants. In the ensuing chaos, Cecil and Kain encounter [[Rydia]], a young female survivor standing over her mother's body. Rydia's mother was spiritually connected to the Mist Dragon; the dragon's death ended her life as well. The infuriated girl summons a monster to attack Cecil and Kain; it causes an earthquake, which cuts off the route back to Baron and knocks the three unconscious. When Cecil awakens, he discovers that Kain has disappeared and the girl is injured. He carries her to an [[inn]] at [[Kaipo]].

Soldiers from Baron arrive in the night to abduct the girl on orders from the king of Baron to kill all [[Summoner]]s, and Cecil defeats them; impressed, Rydia joins him. While in Kaipo, Cecil discovers a bedridden Rosa. While searching for Cecil, she contracted an ailment curable only by the {{hover|[[Sand Pearl]]|Named Sand Ruby in the Final Fantasy IV release and earlier}}, released when the [[Antlion (boss)|Antlion]] lays its eggs. Access to the Antlion's lair is controlled by the Kingdom of [[Damcyan]], so Cecil and Rydia travel north to Damcyan through the desert and an [[Underground Waterway]] through the mountains. There, they meet a sage named [[Tellah]], who is also traveling to Damcyan in search of his daughter [[Anna]]. The three arrive just in time to witness the Red Wings attacking the kingdom. In investigating the ruins of the castle, they discover that Anna was killed in the assault; Tellah blames her death on her lover, [[Prince Edward Chris von Muir|Edward Chris von Muir]], the smitten bard. Edward explains that a warrior named [[Golbez]] orchestrated the attack to steal Damcyan's [[Fire Crystal]], prompting Tellah to leave the party to seek vengeance on Golbez for her death. Edward joins Cecil and Rydia and helps them retrieve the Sand Pearl.
[[File:Cecil becoming a Paladin FF4A.png|thumb|200px|Cecil becomes a Paladin in ''Final Fantasy IV Advance'']]
At Kaipo, the revived Rosa joins the party, which resolves to go to [[Fabul]] to protect the [[Wind Crystal]] from being stolen by Golbez and the Red Wings. Along the way, while crossing [[Mt. Hobs]], they encounter [[Yang]], the head of the Fabul Monks, being ambushed by Golbez's monsters; the party helps him fight them off. Yang requests Cecil's help in defending Fabul after they inform him of Golbez's plot. At Fabul, the Red Wings attack and Cecil's party slowly retreats through the halls of the castle to the room containing the Wind Crystal, where he is confronted by his friend Kain and learns he is affiliated with the Red Wings. Kain challenges and defeats him in a duel. Golbez arrives, kidnaps Rosa, and steals the Wind Crystal. The next morning, Cecil and Yang decide to sneak into Baron to acquire an airship from [[Cid Pollendina|Cid]] for a rescue attempt. After considering Baron's weak sea defenses, Yang charters a ship to take Cecil, Edward, Rydia, and himself to Baron. While sailing, they are attacked by the sea monster Leviathan and the party is scattered.

Cecil awakens on a beach near Mysidia, where he is met with contempt by the town's wizards for stealing the Water Crystal earlier. However, the Mysidian elder understands Cecil's plight, and tells him that to defeat Golbez, Cecil must climb Mt. Ordeals, surrender his dark sword and become a [[Paladin]]. The elder sends twin wizards [[Palom]] and [[Porom]] to assist and spy on Cecil. On the mountain, they encounter Tellah, who is searching for the legendary spell [[Meteor]] to defeat Golbez. Golbez attempts to stop the party by sending [[Scarmiglione]], the Fiend of Earth, to stop them, but the party defeats the demon, Cecil completes the trials, and becomes a Paladin; in the process, Tellah also learns the secret of Meteor.

Upon returning to Mysidia, the town elder is impressed that Cecil successfully became a Paladin and allows him the use of the [[Serpent Path]], a teleporter that takes the party to Baron. There, Cecil learns that Cid has been arrested and Yang brainwashed into the service of Baron. After helping Yang recover, Cecil, Yang, and the others infiltrate the castle and discover that the king is actually the Fiend of Water, [[Cagnazzo]]. After defeating him, Cid is freed and takes Cecil and his friends to his newest airship. Before dying, Cagnazzo causes the walls of the castle to move with the intent of crushing the party. Palom and Porom petrify themselves to halt the trap.
[[File:Tower of Babil underground FF4.png|thumb|left|200px|Cecil standing outside the Tower of Babil from underground in the Super Nintendo version]]
Cecil takes command of the airship and is met at takeoff by the brainwashed Kain, who demands Cecil retrieve the final [[Crystal]] in exchange for Rosa's life. Cecil heads for [[Troia]], where the [[Earth Crystal]] is enshrined. He learns the Crystal was stolen by the [[Dark Elf]], and his friends and he retrieve it. Kain leads the group to the [[Tower of Zot]], where Rosa is imprisoned. After the party battles to the tower's summit, Golbez takes the Crystal and tries to flee. Tellah uses Meteor to try and kill Golbez, only to be killed instead, although Golbez is weakened, therefore shattering his control over Kain's mind. Kain helps Cecil rescue Rosa and, after defeating the Fiend of Wind, {{hover|[[Barbariccia]]|Named Valvalis in the Super Nintendo version}}, the party escapes to Baron.

In Baron, Kain reveals that Golbez must also obtain four subterranean [[Dark Crystal]]s to achieve his goal. Cecil swears to defend the Crystals; Kain gives him a [[Magma Rock]] he obtained while in the service of Golbez that is instrumental to accessing the [[Underworld]]. The party is initially unsure of how to use it, but they eventually discover the town of [[Agart]], whose inhabitants claim descent from the [[dwarf|dwarves]] of the Underworld. Thinking this town may have the secret to accessing the Underworld, Cecil drops the Magma Rock into the town's deep well, triggering an earthquake that opens a passage to the Underworld. They fly through the opening, but their airship is soon damaged while caught in the cross-fire of a battle between the dwarves' tanks and the airships of the Red Wings, forcing it to crash outside the Castle of Dwarves. King [[Giott]] of the dwarves accepts Cecil's offer to guard the Crystals. Cid departs to repair and upgrade the airship; soon after he leaves, Cecil, Rosa, Yang, and Kain discover Golbez has infiltrated the dwarves' crystal room and try to stop him from stealing the Crystal. During the battle they are joined by Rydia, who was sucked into the Underworld by Leviathan. However, Golbez escapes with the Dwarves' Dark Crystal, and Cecil sets out to the [[Tower of Babil]] to retrieve the lost crystals. King Giott offers the services of his tanks to draw the fire of the tower's defenses while the party infiltrates it. While inside, the party confronts Golbez's servant [[Dr. Lugae]]. After defeating him they are informed the crystals have been moved to that portion of the Tower that is above ground. As his last act, Dr. Lugae orders that the Tower's [[Super Cannon]] destroy the dwarf tanks. Yang volunteers to stay behind and destroy the Super Cannon while the party escapes, and is presumed dead.
[[File:Cecil on the Moon FF4.png|thumb|200px|Cecil visits the moon late into his adventure.]] 
Upon escaping the Tower, the party is met by Cid and a repaired airship. They are pursued by the Red Wings and fly back to the upper world to escape them; Cid throws himself overboard and detonates a bomb to re-seal the passage, apparently sacrificing himself. Back on the surface, they find the path to the Tower of Babil's upper half. While following it they encounter [[Edge]], the ninja prince of [[Eblan]], who seeks revenge on [[Rubicante]] for the death of his parents; Edge joins the party. Inside the tower, the party defeats Rubicante but falls through a trap door to an Underground portion of the Tower and finds an abandoned Red Wing airship. After returning in it to the Castle of Dwarves and consulting with King Giott, Cecil and the others decide to go to the Underground's Sealed Cave and retrieve the eighth and final crystal before Golbez gets to it. After they succeed in doing so, however, Golbez takes back control over Kain and forces him to steal the Crystal. Back at the [[Dwarf Castle]], Giott tells Cecil of the [[Lunar Whale]], a ship designed to take travelers to and from the [[moon]]. Cid, who was found by the dwarves and nursed by them back to health, fits their airship with a drill and the party drills their way back to the surface. Cecil returns to Mysidia to pray for the Lunar Whale's appearance. It rises from the ocean, and Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, and Edge board it to travel to the moon.

Upon arriving on the moon, the party enters the only visible structure, the [[Lunar Palace]], and there the party meets an elderly man named [[Fusoya]] who explains that Cecil's father is a heroic but deceased [[Lunarian]]. Fusoya also explains that a Lunarian named [[Zemus]] plans to destroy life on the [[Blue Planet]] to facilitate Lunarian inhabitation. To achieve this, Zemus manipulated Golbez and Kain to obtain the Crystals needed to revive a giant destructive android, the [[Giant of Babil]]. Meanwhile on Earth, the forces of the world, including some characters (Yang, Palom, Porom) thought to have died, hopelessly attack the unleashed Giant. Fusoya, Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, and Edge enter and destroy the Giant. Fusoya breaks Zemus' control over Golbez and Kain, and Cecil learns that Golbez is his brother. After destroying the Giant, Golbez and Fusoya head to the core of the moon to defeat Zemus. Cecil's party follows after reuniting with Kain. After battling to the moon's core, the party witnesses Golbez and Fusoya defeat Zemus but quickly lose to his ultimate form, Zeromus. With the united life force of all beings combined with a special Crystal provided by Golbez, Cecil and his party defeat Zeromus. Following the conflict, Golbez decides to remain dormant along with the other Lunarians, as he would not be welcome on Earth. One year later, the heroes reunite for Cecil and Rosa's wedding and coronation as Baron's king and queen.

==Gameplay==
[[File:FFIV SNES gameplay.png|thumb|200px|Cecil and Kain fight a [[Floating Eye]] and two [[Eagle]]s near [[Baron]] in the Super Nintendo version]]
As with other ''Final Fantasy'' games, ''Final Fantasy IV'' features exploration on the [[world map]]. The player can have up to five [[party]] members. As the party progresses, they receive more options to travel the world map, such as by [[airship]] or by riding a [[Chocobo]]. The world map shows assorted towns and [[dungeon]]s, each represented by an icon. The party can access a location on the world map by moving to it. Several [[dungeon]]s take place either inside or outside of a mountain and usually end with a boss battle. ''Final Fantasy IV'' is more linear compared to other RPG titles, and has only a few side-quests.

Like other ''Final Fantasy'' games, when a located is accessed from the overworld, the screen zooms in closer. Towns and villages each have an [[inn]], where the characters can pay a fee to rest at and restore all of their [[Health Point|HP]] and [[Magic Point|MP]]. Towns and villages also have [[shop]]s, and later ones sell more effective items and stronger weapons to reflect the game's increasing difficulty. In towns and villages, there are houses that can be entered, and the party can talk to the person inside of the house. The villages have various objects where small items are hidden, such as a [[potion]] or some [[gil]]. Certain areas have a [[Fat Chocobo]], which can store some items for the party.

[[Battle]]s are not much different than in earlier ''Final Fantasy'' installments. As characters gain [[experience point]]s, they [[level]] up, which increases their stats. There are four types of magic: [[White Magic]], which is used for healing and support magic; [[Black Magic]], which is used for offensive magic; [[Summon]], a type of magic only usable by [[Rydia]] in which she calls forth a creature to attack an enemy; and [[Ninjitsu]], a specialized type of attack magic used by Edge. Characters who can cast spells learn them as they level up.

''Final Fantasy IV'' is the first game to feature the [[Active Time Battle]] system, in which the characters fight in real time. However, there is no gauge that indicates the order and time when party members can attack, as this feature would later be introduced in the following title, ''[[Final Fantasy V]]''.

==Release history==
===''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type''===
The game's first re-release is ''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type'', released exclusively in Japan for the Super Famicom in October 1991, a few months after the game's original release. This version has various changes to make it easier, such as enhancing the attack power of weapons and the protective abilities of certain spells and armor. The North American ''Final Fantasy II'' release is partially based on ''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type''.

===North American localization===
Because the previous two installments of the ''Final Fantasy'' series had not been localized and released in North America at the time, the original Super Nintendo release of ''Final Fantasy IV'' was distributed as ''Final Fantasy II'' to maintain naming continuity. This remained the norm until the release of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' in North America (after the original Super Nintendo release of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' under the title of ''Final Fantasy III'') and subsequent releases of the actual second and third installments, ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' respectively, on various platforms.

The English localization of ''Final Fantasy IV'' retains the storyline, graphics, and sound of the original, but the developers significantly reduced the difficulty for beginning gamers. Square released the United States version in Japan with the title ''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type''. Square was worried that western fans would find it difficult to adjust to the game's complexity due to not having played the previous two entries, so they decreased the overall depth considerably.<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20160525072847/http://www.1up.com/features/final-fantasy-iv-remains-masterpiece Why Final Fantasy IV Remains a Masterpiece After All These Years]". 1UP.com (Wayback Machine, [https://archive.ph/MJYbm archive.is backup]). Published January 27, 2012.</ref> To comply with Nintendo's censorship policies at the time, other changes done to ''Final Fantasy IV'' includes the removal of overt Judeo-Christian religious references and certain revealing images. The magic spell [[Holy]] was named White, and all references to prayer were eliminated; the [[Tower of Prayers]] in Mysidia was renamed the Tower of Wishes. Direct references to death were also omitted, although several characters clearly die during the course of the game.

The ''Final Fantasy II'' Super Nintendo release is featured on the cover for the 30th issue of [[Nintendo Power]].

===PlayStation===
In 1997, ''Final Fantasy IV'' was ported to the [[PlayStation]] in Japan. The porting was done by [[Tose]], and [[Square]] published the game. The PlayStation version is nearly identical to the original game, although minor tweaks introduced in the ''Final Fantasy IV Easy Type'' are present. The PlayStation release most notably includes an FMV opening and ending sequence, the ability to move quickly in dungeons and towns by holding the {{button|PS|circle}} button, and the option of doing a temporary save on the world map via a [[Memo]]. On March 11, 1999, the same version was re-released in Japan and included in the ''[[Final Fantasy Collection]]'' package, which also included the PlayStation versions of ''Final Fantasy Fantasy V'' and ''Final Fantasy VI''.

In 2001, the PlayStation port was later released with ''{{wp|Chrono Trigger}}'' in North America as part of ''[[Final Fantasy Chronicles]]'' in 2001 and with ''Final Fantasy V'' in Europe and Australia as part of ''[[Final Fantasy Anthology]]'' in 2002. The English localizations feature a new translation, although certain translated lines from the previous localization by Kaoru Moriyama, such as "You spoony bard!", were kept, as they had become fan favorites. In 2012, the PlayStation version was released as a PSOne Classic in Japan, and was made compatible with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable.

===WonderSwan Color===
In 2002, a remake for the WonderSwan Color was released exclusively in Japan at an MSRP of 5,200 yen.<ref>Witham, Joseph (February 23, 2002). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20160303220047/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q1-2002/022302b.html Final Fantasy IV WonderSwan Color Details]". RPGamer (Wayback Machine).</ref> It featured minimal differences from the PlayStation version, and character sprites and backgrounds were graphically enhanced through heightened details and color shading.

===''Final Fantasy IV Advance''===
In 2005, Tose ported ''Final Fantasy IV'' again to the [[Game Boy Advance]] and released it as ''[[Final Fantasy IV Advance]]''. The enhanced graphics from the WonderSwan Color port were further improved, and minor changes were made to the music. The localization team revised the English translation, improving the flow of the story, and restoring plot details absent from the original. The abilities that were removed from the original North American release were re-added, while spells were renamed to follow the naming conventions of the Japanese version, changing "Bolt2" to "Thundara" for example. A new cave at [[Mt. Ordeals]] was added featuring powerful armor and stronger weapons for five additional characters, as was the [[Lunar Ruins]], a dungeon accessible only at the end of the game.

===3D remake===
{{main|Final Fantasy IV (3D remake)}}
In December 2007, a 3D remake of the game was released in Japan, and it would later be released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2008. The remake adds a number of features not present in the original, such as voice acting, minigames, and some changes to the basic gameplay. The game was developed by [[Matrix Software]], who also did the work for the ''Final Fantasy III'' Nintendo DS remake, and was supervised by members of ''Final Fantasy IV''{{'}}s original development team: Takashi Tokita served as executive producer and director, Tomoya Asano as producer and Hiroyuki Ito as battle designer.

===Virtual Console re-releases===
In 2009, the original Super Famicom release was ported to the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] in Japan, and in 2010, the ''Final Fantasy II'' localization was released for the Wii Virtual Console in North America, Europe, and Australia. In 2009, ''Final Fantasy IV'' was also ported to [[i-mode]] compatible mobile phones, which features a remake of Lunar Ruins named EX Dungeon.

In 2014, the Super Famicom version was ported to the [[Wii U]]'s Virtual Console in Japan. In 2016, the ''Final Fantasy IV Advance'' was also ported exclusively in Japan.

In 2017, the Super Famicom version was ported to the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Virtual Console, and it remains exclusive in Japan.

===PlayStation Portable===
In 2011, the original 2D version of ''Final Fantasy IV'' received another release, along with ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The After Years]]'', this time for the [[PlayStation Portable]] compilation title, ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection]]''. It retains some of the updated names from the 3D remake, such as [[Carnelian Signet]]. The collection also features a side-game called ''[[Final Fantasy IV: Interlude]]'', which takes place between the events of ''Final Fantasy IV'' and ''Final Fantasy IV: The After Years''.
