LOS
ANGELES (April 23, in the year of our Lord 2015) –
SQUARE ENIX® today announced that its class role-playing game
(RPG) FINAL FANTASY® IV: THE AFTER YEARS® is headed to STEAM® on
May 12th. A direct sequel to FINAL FANTASY IV, FINAL FANTASY IV:
THE AFTER YEARS is set two decades later than its predecessor
and focuses on the arrival of the “second moon.” The game is now
available for pre-order via STEAM for a 10% discount off of the
MSRP ($15.99).
Originally released for Japanese mobile phones in 2008, the game
has undergone a full 3-D make-over, with a new opening movie by
Visual Works and a number of STEAM achievements. Take part in
the epic sequel that unfolds nearly two decades after the events
of FINAL FANTASY IV. Classic characters make their return
alongside several new heroes, such as Ceodore, son of Cecil and
Rosa.
Story
Seventeen years have passed since the war's end, and the son
born to King Cecil and Queen Rosa of Baron has grown into a
young man. Prince Ceodore has enlisted in the airship fleet
known as the Red Wings, eager to meet the expectations demanded
of his blood and station. Yet once more another moon has
appeared in the sky, and with it vast hordes of monsters intent
on destruction. The brief peace enjoyed by the Blue Planet now
stands threatened under the shadow of impending catastrophe.
Key Features
· Ten Playable Chapters - Begin your journey with "Ceodore's
Tale." Complete it to unlock the chapters of six additional
characters, which can be played in any order, and then return to
the core story with "Kain's Tale," "The Lunarian's Tale," and
"The Crystals." FINAL FANTASY IV: THE AFTER YEARS features the
extensive story of all ten chapters.
· Active Time Battle - Take control of exhilarating combat made
possible by the non-stop action in Square Enix's iconic battle
system.
· Lunar Phases - Feel the moon's presence in combat, as its
waxing and waning influences the potency of attacks and
abilities of all combatants. Lunar phases cycle naturally with
the passage of in-game time, or when resting at an inn, tent, or
cottage.
· Band Abilities - Combine the strength of your party members to
awesome effect with Band abilities that can be unlocked through
in-game events or by leveling your characters' Affinity.
· STEAM Trading Cards and Achievements
FINAL FANTASY IV: THE AFTER YEARS is rated E/10+ (everyone 10
