01Overview

Final Fantasy IV is the fourth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. In North America it was released as Final Fantasy II, with alterations made due to Nintendo of America's guidelines at the time. You play Cecil, a dark knight serving the kingdom of Baron. After the king orders the seizure of the crystals of other nations, Cecil questions his orders and sets out on a quest that grows from a conflict between nations into a threat to the world itself. The story is character driven, and the party changes as members join, leave and return. Unlike in the previous games, each character has a fixed class, such as Paladin, Dragoon, White Mage, Black Mage or Summoner. Battles are turn based and use the Active Time Battle system, where characters act as their gauges fill instead of waiting for a fixed turn. You travel between towns and dungeons across a world map by foot, chocobo, ship and airship, and the story later leads to the moon.
