Wii gets Final Fantasy IV sequel

[vashivihan]

Our trademark research was right on the money! Square Enix will release Final Fantasy IV: The After, a direct sequel to Final Fantasy IV, in North America under the name Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. The ESRB spilled the surprise rating Final Fantasy IV: The After Years for Wii with an E rating and gave this description.



This is a 2D role-playing game in which players embark on an adventure involving magical crystals and a mysterious kingdom. Players traverse across a field map or through dungeons and can enter into turn-based battles along the way. Players use a menu screen to select attacks or magic spells against tiny enemies (e.g., leopards, birds, knights, fish monsters, etc.) that blink and disappear when defeated. An item called “Bacchus Wine” is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle.



Since all we have is a rating we don’t know if Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be a retail release or if Square Enix will release the game in downloadable parts via WiiWare, similar to how the original mobile phone version was distributed in Japan.



Final Fantasy IV: The After Years features Cecil, Rosa, and the entire cast of Final Fantasy IV years in the future. The story begins with their son Ceodore and introduces new characters like a brigade of ninjas under the command of Edge who is now the King of Eblan.

No its a sequel to FF IV (ie a follow up)

Wow Square seem to like making sequels to sequels and not actual new content
Or to put it another way
Rapeing there games till there holes are useless and no body cares anymore

Sounds good to me, though a remake of VII for the Wii would be godly.

FF IV was an awesome FF too tho.

And to say that the FF franchise doesn't reuse ideas throughout the entire series is naive and you should recognize it too.

Atleast they didn't choose to make a sequel to FFVII

LOL.

If SquareEnix ever chooses to make a FF7 remake, it MUST be on the PS3. It would be stellar to see that tech demo be turned into a real game. The graphics were so clean, especially if you compared it to the blocky bodies they had on the PS1
