Re-experience the classic RPG in the summertime.

PREPARE TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN AN ADVENTURE THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK

Final Fantasy IV Advance coming to the Game Boy Advance

21st March 2006 – An intricate and detailed plotline filled with intrigue, tragedy and excitement can mean only one thing, Final Fantasy has returned. As the undisputed father of the role-playing genre, the Final Fantasy series has spanned over a dozen titles, a movie and a huge range of merchandise. Players can now re-experience one of the most famous games in the series, with improved graphics and added content when Final Fantasy IV Advance launches on the Game Boy Advance on 2nd June 2006 across Europe.

As Cecil, the leader of Baron's elite Red Wings force, the king tasks you to recover the world's most powerful elemental crystals, from other peaceful nations, whatever the cost. However, after questioning these actions you are cast out and soon uncover a sinister plot, which left unchecked could result in the end of life as we know it. With your close friend Kain at your side you must set off on an epic adventure that literally takes you from the depths of the earth to the furthest side of the moon.

This game follows the classic roleplaying genre established by its predecessors. Players must travel the world, visiting towns and dungeons and defeating the hostile creatures they encounter. Friendly characters met along the way provide vital information and clues, which help Cecil unravel the mystery surrounding the king's strange behaviour. Each battle won or task accomplished earns the player experience, earning enough points will cause the character to 'level up' making them more powerful. Players can also upgrade their characters with new and better items and equipment.

As well as all of the great features which made this game such a huge success when it launched on the Super Nintendo in the US and Japan back in 1991, Final Fantasy IV Advance features a number of additions and updates to enhance the gameplay. The first and most noticeable change will be the vastly improved graphics and sound, not only have the background visuals been improved and enhanced, but new character portraits have also been added during conversations.

Final Fantasy IV Advance also features an entirely new 50 level dungeon featuring new creatures and ultra hard bosses to defeat. This dungeon allows players to easily level up their characters before accessing the end game content. The new bosses in this dungeon also drop brand new 'ultimate weapons', which will help tip the balance in favour of your team.

If you want to re-experience one of the greatest adventures of all time, or simply want to play an enthralling and innovative role-playing game, Final Fantasy IV Advance is a must-have title.

Final Fantasy IV Advance launches on the Game Boy Advance on 2nd June 2006 for the estimated retail price of around £30.

What, Grandia 2? Yeah, that was nice...

By the way, Europeans aren't playing the title AGAIN, we are playing it for the first time (at least those of us that didn't grab those compilations for the PS1).

We went to the moon in Grandia 2? I don't remember that. It has been a long time since I've last played that game. Yes, that WAS a nice game.... So is Grandia 3, so far. I like the "enhanced" battle system in 3.

As for FFIV, I bought it to go through it again, but I just can't get myself to play through it again. It is still a good game, just not as good as I remembered. I also have FF III for the SNES, and am still going to get the port when it comes out, just because it is my favorite FF ever, and the last that I've played of the series. Memories.... face-icon-small-sad.gif

Yes, you go to THE MOON after the evil pope went up there to resurrect that evil dude. The beastman dies up there.

Oh, wait, you go to THE MOON in Mc Kids, too. But you don't get to meet the Toast King...
