The original FINAL FANTASY IV comes to life with completely new graphics and audio as a 2D pixel remaster! 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.
Runs well on modern hardware.

FF6 is the best Final Fantasy, but FF4 will always be my favorite. Really good remaster of the original SNES version, though I do miss the original for nostalgia reasons. 10/10, in my heart.
This game is so well-written, I simply can't. It's easy to get emotionally attached to characters and pacing is just right. If you're getting into FF franchise or so, this is PERFECT place to start. Just my opinion.
What an INSANE entry. Literally the best in the franchise so far. One of the greatest stories I have ever experienced, and im not even comparing it to the previous entries here, the story stands on its own as one of the best Ive played, period. The characters and their insane development, the emotionally driven plot. The gameplay itself was so good too. Traditional levels with characters you swap seamlessly throughout the whole game, and grinding their levels was actually fun because of how versatile each character becomes as abilities unlock along the way. These characters stick with you long after you finish the game, its genuinely THAT good. Gotta shoutout a few characters who are just badass, not only story wise but in how each of them fight differently. Kain, Edge, and Yang are easily the 3 best in the whole game so far. Now I gotta say, compared to the rest of the franchise, this game was kind of brutal. ESPECIALLY the final boss. Dude does one big bang and its ggs, but Kain came in clutch and saved the day, my goat. Easily the hardest boss so far.
