Changing characters and Mysidian sidequest!

Yay me! I was playing the GBA version of FF4, and to my joy I actually beat Rubicant!:D
Anyway, just before you go to the moon to defeat Zemus, my game said "You can now change characters at the Mysidia Tower (or Prayer Place or whatever)" and so when I arrived there, a little sidequest was waiting for me!
Tell me, could you change characters in the NES version, and can you do the Mysidia sidequest, or is it a unique thing to the GBA version?

First tell me Kupo...what is the sidequest?

It's GBA only. The sidequest mostly entails getting upgraded equipment for the new party members so that they have stuff capable of taking on the final dungeon.

You get an extra dungeon to go to with those who have left your party throughout the game and get them some extra equipment, and you're able to swap them out and use a different party than the standard Cecil - Kain - Edge - Rosa - Rydia team for the Lunar Subterrane.

Standard party's the most balanced though.

It's GBA exclusive content. And it was released for SNES, not NES

Oh yeah. I only got one new weapon for Rosa though. I didn't know how to get the others. Can anyone remind me what the weapons are?

Rosa only gets one new weapon - Perseus Bow and Arrows.

I know, that's what i said. I just asked how to get the others.

For which characters, specifically? Or were you referring to simply bows?

Alright, are the weapons their final weapons or not, and lets use Kain as an example--is he final weapon in that dungeon?

Kain's final weapon is Abel's Lance, acquired after beating Lunar Bahamut in the Lunar Ruins.

Thanks, so where do you actually find it? Because last time i fought and defeated Bahumut--i didn't acquire Kain's final weapon.

Lunar Bahamut in the Lunar Ruins. You get that and the Dragoon's Ring after beating him.

Whoops, I was supposed to say SNES.:choc2:

A) FFIV = SNES
B) You couldn't switch your characters in the SNES version.
C) This side quest didn't exist.
