The latest issue of Shonen Jump contained new information on the latest port of Square's classic Final Fantasy IV, this time for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. According to the magazine, the game is being made as a collaboration between Square Enix and Nintendo, rather than just Nintendo, as some had speculated following the game's initial announcement.

Final Fantasy IV will mostly remain true to the SNES original, but it will feature some exclusive changes for the GBA. Specifically, a graphical upgrade is mentioned, and is apparent in the first images of the game. The sprites have sharper colors, and character portraits have been added to the speech boxes. No other specific changes were revealed at this time.

Shonen Jump also indicated that Nintendo and Square Enix are interested in bringing more Final Fantasy to the GBA, and though no concrete announcements were made, several other sources are reporting that the game has been labeled as the first entry in the "Final Fantasy Series Port Project." Final Fantasy IV will ship to North American retailers on December 12 2005 and to Japanese retailers somewhere in the vaguer time frame of Winter 2005.

I can't get the image to show up. It keeps forwarding me to rpgamer's home page. Can someone post the image as an attachment?

I had trouble with it too, I only got it to open by going to the page, right clicking and opening it in a tab (on Firefox, of course).

I am so freaking eager for this to come out :skull3:

December, man that's quicker than I expected. This is definately one of titles I'm most excited about seeing the release of. This will improve the value of my GBA to me by at least 100%.

Thanks for the info.

Great, soon we'll also have a GBA version of The Power of Cheese. Looks pretty good, hopefully Square Enix will make the game work like FFIV hard type, and hopefully they'll use the PSX translation. Or if they retranslate it again, they should at least keep comments like "You spoony bard" intact.

Could it be possible that we're finally getting FFIII in English for GBA in the near future?

There'll probably be a brand new translation, since that was the case with Dawn of Souls.

Threads merged.

*Dances happily*
However, if they leave out the references to Kain's father even this time, I'm gonna be very displeased. What's up with them?

No problem
