Final Fantasy IV,[a] known as Final Fantasy II for its initial North American release, is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in 1991, it is the fourth main installment of the Final Fantasy series. The game's story follows Cecil, a dark knight, as he tries to prevent the sorcerer Golbez from seizing powerful crystals and destroying the world. He is joined on this quest by a frequently changing group of allies. Final Fantasy IV introduced innovations that became staples of the Final Fantasy series and role-playing games in general. Its "Active Time Battle" system was used in five subsequent Final Fantasy games, and unlike prior games in the series, IV gave each character their own unchangeable character class.
Final Fantasy IV has been ported to several other platforms with varying differences. An enhanced remake, also called Final Fantasy IV, with 3D graphics was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007 and 2008. The game was re-titled Final Fantasy II during its initial release outside Japan as the original Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III had not been released outside Japan at the time. All later localizations of Final Fantasy IV, which began to appear after Final Fantasy VII (released worldwide under that title), used the original title.
The various incarnations of the game have sold more than four million copies worldwide. A sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, was released for Japanese mobile phones in 2008, and worldwide via the Wii Shop Channel on June 1, 2009. In 2011, both Final Fantasy IV and The After Years were released for the PlayStation Portable as part of the compilation Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, which also included a new game, set between the two; Final Fantasy IV: Interlude. Ports of the Nintendo DS remake were released for iOS in 2012, for Android in 2013 and for Windows in 2014.
Retrospectively, Final Fantasy IV is often regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time, noting that it pioneered many now common console role-playing game features, including the concept of dramatic storytelling in an RPG. It has been included in various lists of the best games of all time, by IGN (at #9 in 2003) as the highest-ranking RPG, as well as Famitsu in 2006 reader poll among the best games ever made It also appeared in various rankings for Best Games of All Time for Electronic Gaming Monthly in 2001 and 2006, Game Informer in 2001 and 2009, GameSpot in 2005, and GameFAQs in 2005, 2009 and 2014.

I always loved the fact that FuSoYa and Golbez don't mess around and wait for the mc like a lot of other game characters and they strait up do the first phase of the fight for you

[@DeathScorpian]

And its like, sure they lost, but they threw just about every spell in the book and wasted no time

[@Bitchslapper316]

It was a nice twist that Golbez was the main villain most of the game

[@elgamer2011]

The soundtrack, history of every character, i literally cry when Palom and Porom turn into stone. Sry for my bad english but this game it´s a masterpiece for me.-

[@giovannidinunno4855]

It is for us too :)

[@christopherfoley8322]

to me, the best Final Fantasy game cause of the memories it holds

[@SubaruNUMBA1]

That scene makes me cry soooooooooooooooo hard 😥

[@blizzardhawk1]

It's the best FF plot ever written... no doubt about it.

[@pinkbeatle2012]

no one truly dies in this game.

[@blizzardhawk1]

Definitely one of the best FF ever made. I'm always touched by this game.

[@KeyleeTamirian]

New arrangement of ending theme once the PalomPorom scene starts sounds very much like stuff you hear in late 80's and early 90's Anime. ...Which is very fitting, since FF4 is basically early 90's JRPG.

[@GardevoirBoy]

For all the evil Golbez has done, it's not his fault. Zemus made Golbez a fraud and that's why Golbez hates himself for being cursed with a bad life. Cecil forgave Golbez because Golbez didn't start this mess. Cecil had no one to blame, but Zeromus.

[@RyuukishinoKain]

As explained in the DS version, Teodore/Golbez only allowed to be controlled because he had darkness in his heart. He blamed himself for the death of his father because he's unable to use Cure spell, and he blamed Cecil for the death of his mother. That weak moment allowed himself to be controlled, just like Kain with his sin of envy, Golbez's sin is regret. Later on, Teodore finally amend his sin, on his last breath, to save Cecil without regret and died as a brother to him.

[@GardevoirBoy]

@@RyuukishinoKain So it was Teodore's self-pity and Lunarian blood which made it easy for him to be controlled by Zemus. It's no wonder Theodore was so gullible. Zemus was afraid some Lunarian would put an end to his world domination plan, so he used Golbez as a backup plan to take over Earth and rule with an iron fist. In reality, Zemus wanted revenge on Cecil because Cecil was the one that made Teodore get under his shadow, and become the Lunarian to stop his world domination plot. Deep down, Golbez was upset because he was bullied by Zemus to a fault because he was too weak to save his parents and got under Cecil's shadow. Zemus using Golbez as a pawn was his way to prevent Cecil from putting an end to his world domination schemes as Cecil was the only Lunarian left to stop Zemus.

[@RyuukishinoKain]

@@GardevoirBoy I think Zemus doesn't even care about Cecil at the beginning. He controlled Teodore to collect all the crystals, so they can use the crystals to power the powerful teleporter to send the Giant of Babil from the moon to Earth, so they can wipe out of all Earth's inhabitants. Cecil, like Firion from II or Vaan from XII, is a victim of swirling conflicts that bigger than himself and took part on the war to end the conflict. Zemus's plan is to make a new lebensraum for the Lunarian and the Blue Planet is his target. Zemus think this is for the good of his people. By killing the Earth's inhabitants with Giant Babel, Zemus think the Lunarian can safely re-inhabited the planet. Years ago, easily on millions of years since FuSoYa are said to witness the evolution stages on the Blue Planet, the Lunarian are actually prosperous and powerful being that live in the planet that exist in the asteroid belt between Red Planet and Great Behemoth. Their planet is somehow ruined, and they chose to leave the planet and find new planet to coexist with. But since the Earth are still in the early stage of evolution, the Lunarian chose to orbit near the Blue Planet using their spaceship, the second moon, until the planet is evolved enough to accept alien beings so they can live together in peace. Zemus was against that idea, he prefer to use force instead. Feared of his power and hatred, KluYa and FuSoYa decided to seal him. After that, KluYa went to the Blue Planet using the Whale to help people and teach them magic, while FuSoYa stays on the second moon to overseer everything. The other Lunarians went into deep sleep, waiting for the peaceful immigration. That works, until the seal power of Zemus weakened and the event of FF IV unfolds. After the event of FF IV, Teodore returned to the second moon to see his people and to guard the Zemus's seals, and wait for the Blue Planet to finally can accept them and the other Lunarians. But sadly, that is not the case since Zemus reawakened 17 years later, and ruin the second moon, presumably killed all the Lunarians including FuSoYa. In the end of The After Years, if Teodore survives, his next objective is to find the second moon in the space using the Whale after it went out of its orbit, hopefully to find them still alive after the Zeromus rampages. I always think that the Lunarians's fate are very tragic. Their way of peacefully waiting for the right time, end up becoming their demise. Especially when the Blue Planet after Cecil ruled in peace are basically ready to accept the Lunarians. Are Lunarians right with their way despite it ends up with them being destroyed before they reach their goals? Or is it Zemus that actually right, despite it would mean the death of billions of people? I believe Zeromus are wrong and must be destroyed, but that still left a bitter fate for the peaceful Lunarian.

[@mcrae9999]

@@RyuukishinoKain Regret is a sin? Well that's news to me.

[@Oscar92player]

Why does all the people I see in this walkthroughs still use protection magic before Zeromus changes its form? Don't you see that ALL magical effects are being removed after each turn? It is a waste of MP before the main thing begins.

13:35 They really wanted to pay extra tribute to Vangelis with this segment of the ending theme, absolutely goosebump inducing.

[@hecticvexed9088]

Delighted I'm not the only one who had Vangelis come to mind when hearing that!

[@3godzilla3]

Played through the whole game using the SNES OST mod. The final boss theme in the original is just way too freaking good. The new version is just fine, but the original SNES soundfont just has way more punch to it.

[@FCEngine]

yeah i do not like the violins in the boss battle, synth or electric guitar is more like it

[@Duck360Gaming]

Is this ost totally new? Like it wasnt out before on ds?

[@jamesblas6427]

The 3d ds remake did had a remake bgm and it was pretty fine. So with the pixel remaster came along with a better enhanced remake of the bgm this time ariund and so far ff 1 - 4 were fantastic so if you know ff 6 was that a big of a deal cause its bgm, then youll know for sure itll be a treat to all of us who went through 6 or even 5 for that matter how the bgm will sound to experience the presentation pixel remaster will sure offer.

I’m sorry but the PSP version has the best Meteor spell!

It looks good but takes forever, though. And the 3D version Meteor was underwhelming. I feel like this one is a good middle ground.

Does it get much more classic than this? I think not

[@SubaruNUMBA1]

holy hell how much HP did that mf'r have

[@DarthAlphaTheGreat]

Good job. You did it right. Set up before using the crystal! Zeromus won’t do huge attacks. People always use crystal immediately (which makes sense narratively but) then try to set up while Zeromus is massacring the party lol.

[@Mythril_YT]

But he deletes every status element from your party, it's useless to do so.

[@Kebin13]

Aah, the original (somewhat, since this is a remaster) version of the "light the way" segment we see on the endsinger fight on ffxiv, just beautifull.

[@DiogoJ1]

Cover is useless in this fight, all of Zeromus attacks are magical in nature.

You can even put Cecil on backrow because Ragnarok is long raged

Which would visually indicate the mid-fight phase change when his HP refills on the SNES. Unless you can do 62000 damage before the first big bang, which I've only seen done on the Free Enterprise rando.

I wish golbez is playable

[@san_carolingio]

It's funny because Golbez when you fight against him, easily he can survive attacks and powerful spells (Meteor, Fire, Blizzard, and he lost a lot of HP), but when you see him as a "playable character" (that moment when he and FusoYa fight against Zemus's first form) he only have 2900hp, so him is very weak XDD

[@andrewmiller3017]

What a great remaster!

[@ralphg2771]

Final boss music is perfect but I wish they would have left the chanting out. I beat the original when it came put. This is my favorite then 6. After 7, I gave up on ff. They lost their touch and overall theme of the original games.😅

[@PerpetualityHypnosis]

Note: Zemus never fights back. He willing accepts his death, Evern and light and dark torture him. In vain, they use the one use spell to kill him, and he falls. he is replaced by fire. have you ever felt hate? hate is like ice. Love. love is fire. Zemus's love for the universe replaces him. He must then battle yellow (the colour of judas ) cecil. Zeromus and Zemus never battle till they are hit. Even golbez and Cecil are spared by zeromus. Because Zeromus loves them, even though Zemus has died, Zemus is picked at random as a scapegoat. Zemus is the antichrist. because the could not kill jesus, they put the antichrist on the cross. This is the game.

[@PerpetualityHypnosis]

Zeromus doesn't lose because he is defeated. It is because he sees Zemus's son is loved and won't take that from him.

@@suzleber4 Yeah. I purchased the game, and all I can say is that if you're a diehard fan of the original, the soundtrack on this version is going to sound weak. Some of the redone tracks are acceptable/okay, but many of them are now less impactful due to the changes, and some just sound outright silly, in my opinion. I'm not a fan.

[@ZenKrio]

@@kelblueskies3937 How so? He was quite nearly the first villain to really make an impact for some sort of reason. Garland was evil for evils sake, as was Emperor, CoD was just a balance mechanism, with Xander being just a guy, Golbez was good, but mind control is lame. Exdeath was cool kind of, but he was just an evil tree born for no reason. Kefka was an insane being that wanted people to suffer, he wanted to rip the light of hope from people.

[@RyuukishinoKain]

Zeromus is clearly inspired by eldritch abomination in Lovecraftian horror story, a grotesque being with incomprehensible formed body, like tentacles and gaping void. I don't think this is random at all. I think this is the perfect personification of the sin of hatred, a grotesque mad god that know nothing but to devour everything in its path, like inescapable gravity. Amano totally deliver that.

[@mallorycarll6280]

@@kelblueskies3937 -- Hard disagree. Kefka is one of the more memorable Final Fantasy villains due to his descent into madness after electing to be experimented on. His sense of humor is a great juxtaposition to his greed and bloodlust to overthrow the Emperor and become the new unstoppable tyrant. He succeeds in his plan and literally decimates the world for an entire year. Kefka is badass.

[@mresturk9336]

My only complaint about Kefka is how easy he is to defeat in the final battle. Zeromus isn't too tough if you know his gimmick, but Kefka is still far easier to defeat. The clown god just wasn't balanced to deal with the kind of firepower you could build up in FF6, even without really grinding.

[@armnakornthab6867]

One thing I hate regarding PR is its reduced difficulty. In the original the big bang also dealt zapped damage, making characters lose their life gradually (at a quick speed) after the main damage. PR’s difficulty is an absolute disgrace.
