Later Squaresoft rereleased FFIV in the States for Playstation as part of Final Fantasy Chronicles, complete, uncensored, and retranslated. Sadly though, the release was plagued by censors, edits, and a pretty godawful translation. That's just a taste of what has been changed and how much work went into this hack!įinal Fantasy IV was released here in the States as Final Fantasy II, and was the game to firmly establish Square as an RPG force to be reckoned with. There are 42 possible block, water & statue arrangements for the many dungeon rooms, and all but 3 are brand new. Most of the monsters have new graphics (including all bosses) and some even have new colors. So, many places where you can bomb, burn, push things and use the recorder are quest-specific. The game allows each secret to be set to 1st Quest, 2nd Quest, both, or neither. For example, the rock you push to find a dungeon won't move on the second quest, so you have to find a new entrance somewhere else in the world. Secrets are now locked according to what quest you're playing. All location of dungeons and secreats have been changed as well. You are guaranteed not to recognize any locations from the previous game. The old world map has been completely overwritten by the new one.
