Final Fantasy IV for GBA News

GameBoy Advance News by Ellie Gibson

15 September, 2005

All right, so it's not the most exciting announcement Nintendo is likely to make at this week's Tokyo Game Show - but all the same, Final Fantasy fans will be pleased to hear that the fourth instalment in the series is coming to Game Boy Advance.

FFIV GBA will follow the plot of the original game and feature 18 towns and castles to explore, dozens of magical quests to complete and the usual assortment of monsters, weapons, special items and spiky-haired heroes.

We're also promised that "additional game elements" have been added to enhance the GBA version, including new characters and environments.

The game is said to offer between 30 and 40 hours of gameplay as you journey on land, across seas and through the air on a mission to recover a load of stolen crystals.

Final Fantasy IV is out on December 12 in the US. Nintendo has yet to confirm a European release, but since FFI & II and FF Tactics Advance made it over here, seems like we could be in luck.

Indeed, I've just a GB Micro, and it's very good, and yes you can read text on the thing just fine - the games look so much better than on any other GB machine!

Yes, Chrono Trigger would be amazing.

Square are totally milking final fantasy.

This is USA FF1 I Think, FF6JAP being FF3 USA. Correct me if I'm wrong? I call them all FF1-6 anyway.
You're wrong.

JP FF2 = US FF1
JP FF4 = US FF2
JP FF6 = US FF3

They've released I and II in dawn of souls. Now FFIV. What happened to III?

I've played this on the SNES and the PSOne already. I don't think I'll play it again.

Exactly

If it was something else (Chrono ..., FFVI) than maybe, but no FF IV or FF V

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I swore that Final Fantasy III was underway too? Seems to me they're planning on releasing the entire series on GBA. I will definately buy this.

FF6 was crap on the PSX, amazing game though.

Reasons for this: it was slow, it took ages to load, it was really slow.

Wonderful! Shame about the tinny sound chip in the GBA though. Half the joy of FFIV is the music.
