Final Fantasy IV is a role-playing video game originally developed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. As the fourth installment in the Final Fantasy Series, following Final Fantasy III and preceding Final Fantasy V, FFIV built on the series established formulas to include a variety of characters who could be swapped in and out as the story progressed.

With The Ultimate Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy IV, the iconic game comes to life again with new remastered 2D pixel graphics and a beautifully rearranged soundtrack overseen by the original composer.

Updated graphics and audio

In this new remodel of FFIV, you can enjoy the dramatic storytelling and console role-playing features that have retrospectively earned it the distinction as one of the greatest video games of all time.

A compelling story with revolutionary gameplay

In Final Fantasy IV, the story follows dark knight Cecil with an ever-changing group of allies as he attempts to stop the sorcerer Golbez from seizing powerful crystals and destroying the world.

To tell the story, the developers of Final Fantasy IV introduced gameplay innovations that became a regular part of the Final Fantasy game series and role-playing games overall. Active Time Battles, for instance, was created as an alternative to the traditional turn-based system and was used in five subsequent Final Fantasy games.

A fresh perspective on a classic game

Retrospectively, Final Fantasy IV is regularly included on lists of the best games of all time for having pioneered many of the most common console role-playing features seen in games today. With new graphics and audio, players get the chance to replay the iconic game like it’s the first time and relive the story all over again.
