Everyone knows the story of Final Fantasy IV by now. Yet, I've always wondered what if things had gone a different way? What if, say, Rydia had never joined your party? Or Kain had stayed with you after the incident in Mist? These questions and more are what this game explores, and tries to give a definitive answer to.
This is not a scene-by-scene remake, but rather a re-imagining of what I think a "parallel dimension" Final Fantasy IV would have played like. For the graphics, I took a lot of inspiration from the PSP remake, though I did try to up the quality of the graphics at least a little bit (especially using Celianna's tilesets which are amazing). Most of the tracks from the original game have been replaced with remastered/remixed tracks from all over the internet, such as OCRemix, the DS version, Dissidia, and many Youtube artists.
I'd like to note here that I went for a blending of several prior versions of the game in terms of the actual 'feel' of the game. Such as the title screen, I went for the classic U.S. release on SNES and just upped the graphics as much as I could. Other areas will have more of a SNES feel while others will reference the PSP and even DS versions at times. The maps themselves are similar to, but not exact, replicas of the original maps from the SNES version. Dialogue is going to be a mix of the Gameboy Advance translation with original story by me.
Lastly, a huge shutout and thank you to the dev of Legend of Balance. Your game was an inspiration and tremendous guide for me, and it's awesome.
IMPORTANT - If you come up with an error stating that you are missing the xinput1_3.dll then you will need the following (safe download from Microsoft's site) DirectX Jun2010
**Do NOT enter the Moon's caves post-game or else you will glitch your game!**
Reverted the build to a previous one (in which there were no significant issues save for the lag on the Overworld). My apologies for the inconvenience, but it seems that trying to fix the lag present only caused more issues.
Features:
- Random Encounter Radar System
- You may go to fullscreen by pressing ALT + Enter
- Battle Rows similar to the original game
- Classic side-view Final Fantasy-type battle system (Modified Journey Battle System)
- New cut-scenes and dialogue depicting an alternate version of events from the original story
- 15 to 30 hours of gameplay
- Battle Difficulty options
- Enemy HP Bars (they're visible when an attack is made)
- D-Pad functionality on Gamepads
- New "Lunar Expanse" bonus area (Boss rush dungeon)
- New "hidden" Arena
Special Controls:
To enter Lunar Whale's control room:
Keyboard - Q key
Gamepad - L button

CloseI was going to wait till I finished the game to do a write up and give my opinions, but I found a bug that you might want to fix. If you go to Mount Ordeals before going to Mysidia, there seems to be no check as to if Palom and Porom are in your party, and events proceed as if they are. Just thought I'd let you know!

Alas, another gamebreaking bug;
I guess I'll call it a night and patiently wait for the next patch.
Outside of Baron, there is a Chocobo Forest. I gave the Fat Chocobo some Gysahl Greens and started a Chocobo Race, in which I lost because time ran out. However, the race music never stopped and the screen went black. The caption "Chocobo Forest" popped up, but the screen stayed black. I had full access to my menu, but was unable to do anything upon exiting it, due to the black screen.
I guess I'll call it a night and patiently wait for the next patch.

author=Sphereauthor=KrazaelThat's something I was considering to use as a secret, but I've ultimately decided against. You'll want to re-download the latest patch to get rid of it.author=Sphereit worked, thx.
Sounds like you don't have the latest Data patch installed. Go to the Downloads section and you'll see the Data patch and what it fixes (there's a list of fixes once you click on it).
Holy should do damage, so it's probably something going on that was fixed via the Data patch. Once you've got the latest Data patch, let me know if everything is fixed.
i found that sea monster Leviathan i guess, is it possible to interact with it? another secret maybe?

I really am enjoying the game and I've now reached the point where there are stark changes from the original taking place...
Mt. Ordeals
Anyway, I've come across a significant bug, though not gamebreaking;
After defeating Rydia 1 on 1 with Palom, I am able to walk around with Cecil. However, if you take 1 step back and 1 step forward, the whole event with the Gilgamesh battle repeats. It starts with Tellah saying "I sense something amiss".
BTW, I'm running the latest version (2.5) so I figure no one else has encountered this particular bug yet?
That's supposed to be an unwinnable battle, it's why no one has run into it yet lol. I don't know how the computer managed to do it, but I've greatly increased that enemy's HP so that that glitch won't occur. You'll want to re-download the latest patch to fix it.
Ha! No such term exists in my RPG dictionary, lol.
I edited my previous post to let you know that the bug really is gamebreaking. I'll download the latest patch and continue. Thanks for the rapid feedback.

Edit: Upon further investigation, it IS gamebreaking.
Bottom line is there is no way to advance the story once you encounter this bug.

I was able to leave Mt. Ordeals (using Cecil's sprite) with no enemies attacking (minimap not functioning) and only Palom showing on my menu. I went back to Mysidia (still no enemies or minimap in the Overworld) and talked to the Elder. He said "There is a great trial awaiting on the mountain, Cecil". However, everyone on the mountain are stuck in limbo, minus Cecil's sprite.
Bottom line is there is no way to advance the story once you encounter this bug.

You'll be able to travel between both worlds anytime you want after a certain point in the story. =) And as for the blacksmith... well that's one of the secrets. XD

Hello.
About the diffuculty options.if i choose ultra and want to change to easy and i goes in in the menu it already says that it`s on easy.But ultra should be marked .Seems not to change the diffuculty because i dont see any difference between easy and hard .
There is a pretty big difference in the difficulty options, but may not seem noticeable at first. Ultra has enemies have twice the normal HP, twice the attack power, defense, etc. Easy mode is half the HP of enemies, half the attack power, defense, and so on. Also for some reason the script itself doesn't "mark" which one you choose visibly except with a sound effect. So when you go back into the menu the cursor may be on "Easy" but that's just the standard position of the menu once you get in there, it doesn't mean it's on Easy. If that makes sense. =)

When I started up the game & watched the beginning sequence, it gave an error
I'm not getting it on my end... oh I know why! I think you don't have the RTP installed for VX Ace? Because that file is a RTP file, not a custom one.

Help,
on the final battle against zeromus, when our deceased friends healing us, I got crash error. It says unable to find yang something something :(
Try downloading the latest Data patch. It contains the file you need. =)
author=kenlanauthor=KrazaelHello.author=Spherei just noticed the difficulty option and was testing it then this error occurred
Thanks Krazael! Oh there are plenty of plot twists ahead. XD
Script 'DT Difficulty' line 94: TypeError ocurred.
nil can't be coerced into Fixnum
it was on Hard
Congrats to a really great game.Fantastic and fun.
I wonder if there`s an difficulty option that i can`t see.
Thank you for all your hard work on this gem.
Thank you for the kind words! =)The Difficulty Settings are in the in-game menu where you see "Status" and all that jazz.
