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

CloseThat fixed it, thank you! Now I can get back to playing it.
Also, one more thing I just now noticed:
Also, one more thing I just now noticed:
After exiting Fabul, the dramatic music from Rosa's fight still plays in random battles. It's kinda' funny because every random battle feels like a sad moment, as though I were mercilessly taking the lives of these monsters.

Thank you! And check the downloads I just put up a patch. All you gotta do is copy the Data files to your build and you should be golden. Let me know please.

Dude, EXCELLENT job, this is great.
However, I do think I ran into a game breaking bug. I will post it in the hide tags so people aren't spoiled.
Other than that, great job. Looking forward to a fix so I can continue playing.

After the Wind Crystal is taken from Fabul, the plot cannot progress. Upon exiting the crystal room and trying to exit Fabul, there is a glitch where Yang and Kain are stuck outside the castle gates as if they were still awaiting the attack on Barron. Trying to run into them or talk to them do absolutely nothing. They are glitched and will not move and you cannot progress the plot.
I attempted to talk to the king in case that was a switch to progress the plot, but he only yields a sleep bubble.

Usually this type of story line is not my thing, but this one has gotten me interested.
I hope you enjoy it when it releases in a few months! :D

Oh...your name is Sphere. The first time reading the overview, I thought that you made this game in a program called Sphere. I was about to lose it. Good luck on this game, we need more FFIV love here!
That made me giggle. Hehe! And thank you, I hope the passion I have for FF IV shines through with this game. =)

author=Noel_Kreissauthor=SphereOkay. Still, this is gonna be fun.author=Noel_KreissIt'll be set in stone alternatives. If it was choice driven, while cool, it wouldn't be Final Fantasy IV. I'm trying to stick to the essence of what FF IV is and how it plays, while showing how things could have turned out differently for certain characters/events.
Will it just be a story of set in stone alternatives or will the story be choice driven (which would be really cool and encourage replays with different choices)?
Also, would it be possible for you to post some early battle footage? I wonder how those character sprites play out.
I don't see why not. =) I'll actually post up a video later on of the whole Intro, so you guys can see some of the battles and the iconic opening. I'll get to recording it now.

Well at least your not doing a complete remake, someone on this site already did that.
I played FF 4 on the psone, can't say I remember much about the story. Thought it was a tad over rated.
It's definitely not a remake, and maybe the alternative plot might appeal to you over the original story? For me, this is not just a labor of love, but of something I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid and I first played FF IV. So, while this game will be soaked in nostalgia, I hope the alternative story told makes the game feel fresh and 'new'.
