Does anyone have any idea why development of this game was cancelled?
My theory is that it was made as a seperate of ffseries maybe not even a ff.Though id sure wish it would have came out...maybe it was meant to be ff3j-2?
i've played them both and ff3 is different than ff6
ff3 you start in a cave with 4 onion knights
there is the job system
ff6 you start with terra and the story involves about summons
Yeah, we all know that. This discussion is about whether or not Square scrapped a Famcom game that would have been Final Fantasy IV, but because Final Fantasy IV was released on the Super Famcom, this would be a Final Fantasy 3.5 if it was released today.Quote:

I wish it was something that would have/will come out, I like the older Final Fantasies so adding another one to the collection would have been nice.
It's invariably a bad sign when a game changes platforms in mid-development (see Sonic Crackers/Knuckles Chaotix), so when Square realized it would be releasing FFIV on the SFC rather than the FC, it completely restarted on the framework. So I'd wager.Quote:

It's also interesting to note that according to this page there is a prototype copy somewhere out there...
Is there any validity to that claim beyond some dude at an ip address saying so?Quote:

Well...there's also this board that talks about something along the same lines. Of course, it could (and probably is) just a rumor. Tough I will always have my hopes...
Lost Levels has already explained that the whole article was a mock-up based on conjecture. No serious programming was ever devoted to placing FFIV on the FC; the decision to develop it for the SFC was made before coding even began; etc.
We-eel, how do we know that Square ain't lying?
...
Yes yes, I know it's far fetched...
Or perhaps it's part of another alien conspiracy?
They're everywhere!
No, that's just a figment of your imagination.
