RPG Site just got their hands on seventeen new screenshots for Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, the PSP title that combines Final Fantasy IV and the previously downloadable Epilogue The After Years into one title with revisited graphics and music but the same old FF4 gameplay.
The screenshots are a mixture of scenarios and battles from both the original Final Fantasy IV and The After Years, showing players in control of both Cecil in FF4 and his son Ceodore in each of the games. The game's due to arrive in Japan on March 24th, and it's fairly likely that it will end up coming West.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.
I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!
The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.

Thankfully Square Enix has produced protagonists that mostly fit that bill – though there are some exceptions. There is much discourse with some leads getting more love than others. Overall, though, Final Fantasy characters, are celebrated. Here’s our ranking of all protagonists from the Final Fantasy series."
" If you define him solely by these traits though, you’re doing a disservice to his past and the character arc he has over the course of the game "
Which is why when people say shit about Squall I know they probably haven't taken an interest in his character development with the story.
Ramza is the greatest FF protagonist of all time. Excellent characterization.
Out of everything you could say about Lightning, you picked "Independent", she is the opposite to that, perhaps the only thing that was interesting about her is how mentally fragile she gets when there isn't a goal blinding her
I can't get over how weird those updated sprites look. =/
This is certainly a weird decision. They made a fully 3D, voice acted FFIV for a less powerful system, but this is only a sprite update? Odd.
Still, I love the After Years, so I'm probably going to lap this up anyway. Hah.
cmon SE! get a clue already and release this on xbla/psn.
ill get this but, when is FF6 gonna have this treatment?
Seriously, why can't they just port the assets from the DS version? Seems like SE are getting lazier and lazier...
