Was the party Square that eliminated commands and stuff? I thought it was Nintendo.

That's what I heard too.

I don't see why they would have. Nintendo didn't MAKE the game, and Square had a USA office at that time.

It was Square USA that redid the game, in order to make it 'more appealing' to the Americans at the time. Their thoughts were that if the game was too hard for the Americans, they would not buy it.

The specialty commands, as well as several items, were not included in the SNES version of FF2/4j. They are in the PSx version.

That's not true. They were in FFIV, they were taken out only in the American version.

No it's true. SNES means the American console, so he's right. If you are playing FFIV on the Super Famicon or using one of those things that lets you play SFC games, then you get the specialty commands, etc. According to one gamefaq, I don't know about commands, but the magic they got rid of was Shell, Protect, and Dispel. Personally, it didn't make any difference to me since I hardly use those. Dispel didn't have much of a point, and I always felt like the other two weren't working.
