FF IV news!

A major surprise that came out of Jump Festa 2008 was the Final Fantasy IV sequel, which has been explained at last!

Firstly, we can now confirm that Theodore, who we previously called a 'blood descendant' of Cecil, is actually confirmed to be his and Rosa's son! Not only that, but Cecil himself, along with Cid, Kain, Rydia, Edge and Yang will be appearing during the story!

The game itself will be using a very similar graphical engine to the original Final Fantasy 4, and will use a slightly altered ATB system where the enemy's command input can be seen as well.

Seeing as the game is being released exclusively for mobile phones, Square has decided to release the game in episodic format - these episodes will be downloadable from the mobile network, with the prologue episode available free. It is currently unknown how much the other episodes will cost, and how regularly they will be released, but we'll keep you updated.

UPDATE: (Source:ffinsider.net)

Square's Takashi Tokita says that Final Fantasy 4: The After may actually be localized for a Western release!

Questioned about the possibility of more Final Fantasy 4 remakes, Tokita (producer/director of the DS remake) replied:

We just remade it, so it's a bit of a stretch... Currently the sequel, Final Fantasy 4: The After, is available for mobile phones in Japan. We'll do our best to make this game available for our overseas audiences as well!

As to how this would work on Western mobiles is unknown, but its graphics aren't too advanced, so here's hoping it's possible!

We'll keep you updated.

Seriously? Awesome! I've always wanted to play that game (especially after playing the DS version of FFIV) and if it gets localized I may finally have my chance! This is VERY good news :p

I actually knew about this for a while. The After Years' plot is so awesome, but obviously I won't post any details. It is going to be released on the Wii as a WiiWare title, but I would've liked it better on DS. But then they would have to remake it completely, which would make it take even longer for it to be released...

Also, I thought Cecil's son's name was Ceodore, this is because Theodore is a certain other character's real name (I don't want to post it since I cannot find how to highlight words so I could hide it seeing it is a spoiler for those who haven't completed FFIV). For those who know who it is, get the new name: Cecil+Theodore=Ceodore. It makes sense if you have completed IV...
