More information on Final Fantasy IV: The After
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.
As for release dates, Final Fantasy 4: The After - Return to the Moon is expected to release to specific Japanese mobile phone models around February, and then further models later in the Spring. We'll keep you updated on whether an English release will happen or not.
