Final Fantasy IV

Square Enix has announced yesterday that Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection for the PlayStation Portable will hit North America and Europe on 19 April.

Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection is a remake of the original game released back in 1991 for the Super Nintendo together with the sequel The After Years that was released on mobile phones (only in Japan) and WiiWare. The game features 2D graphics, unlike the DS version which has 3D graphics. It also features a new senario that links the original and the sequal.

On the official website you can watch a trailer of the game.

Yesterday Square Enix has announced that the remake of Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS will be released in Europe and other PAL-territories on the 5th of September.

Orginally released in 1991 on the Super Nintendo, Final Fantasy IV was the game that introduced the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which was used in many Final Fantasy games after then.

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “Final Fantasy IV is one of the most significant titles in the history of the Final Fantasy franchise. It has been remarkably enhanced for the Nintendo DS, making it a great opportunity for our fans to experience its deep story and ground-breaking battle system in an exciting and innovative new way”.

For more information and a trailer check out their official website.

Square Enix has opened their official website of the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV.
They've also opened an official Star Ocean portal called Eternal Sphere that will cover the two remakes Star Ocean: First Departure and Star Ocean: Second Evolution and the new game Star Ocean 4. When you click on one of the games you'll see TGS2007, which most likely means that more information about the games will be announced on the Tokyo Game Show.

Seems like Square-Enix can’t keep anything a secret for their upcoming party! Rumor has it that Square-Enix will be giving Final Fantasy IV the 3d makeover treatment to appear on the DS. The team working on the game is the same team that handled the 3d remake of Final Fantasy III. Of course, Square-Enix has no comment, and most likely won’t confirm anything until their party. I think it’s a safe bet to take this one as truth.
