FFIV finally goes to the GBA

[Masamune·1600]

Ah, but if they didn't exist there would be no reason for exp, gil, or items! That's like saying terrorists help us in our struggle for safety from terrorists!

I'll be happy if there's a way to name the king.

[Rase]

Well, with all the new info (Screen, video, etc.) I must say I'm still very excited about this game. I seriously hope I'm not somehow dissapointed.

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

It probably will not be included... The sound of Square USA allowing the Development Room with all the Japanese creators sounds unlikely... and if they do, the smut item would be removed or changed...

[Takara]

Well, it was included in Chronicles. We'll see when the game's released, I guess.

[Sephex]

I hope it is, but I won't be upset if it isn't. I got to see it through a fan translated ROM and the Chronicles version as well.

[DJZen]

At this point, Square-Enix isn't in the business of excluding things from the US releases.

New FF IV Advance Details

http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2005/111205b.html

The newest scan for the upcoming Final Fantasy IV Advance has answered some questions about the additions to the game. Specifically, it outlines how the character switching will take place and some details surrounding the new dungeon.

Character switching will take place in Mysidia in the tower. All the available characters will be gathered there, and by talking to one of them, they can trade places with a member of your current party. It seems this function will only be available for characters that can make it to the tower, as not all characters are available.

The new dungeon will be 50 floors in length, and its purpose will be to level the other characters and give them ultimate weapons similar to those found in the original game's final dungeon. Once again, a special boss monster will guard each one. and each will be unique to the GBA version. The scan shows Porom getting a "Seraphim Mace" as her ultimate weapon.

And once again the hypothesies prove correct.

It seems this function will only be available for characters that can make it to the tower, as not all characters are available.

In other words, Tellah is not available. Golbez, however, might very well be.

[Sephex]

Cool. I unconciously figured that you would be able to switch characters in the tower of Mysidia. In fact, I was so sure of it, that I almost mistook it for being old news!

[Sefie1999AD]

I think everyone will be available there for the final dungeon except for Tellah, FuSoYa and Golbez. After all, (SPOILER)Golbez and FuSoYa went to the Lunar Subterrain before Cecil and others got to the Moon, the two didn't go there together with the main party. In the original FF"2", there's also the yaoi comics line said by one of the crystals: (SPOILER)"FuSoYa and KluYa's son went inside. And they've been in for quite a long time." I'll probably make a save in front of Mysidia and beat the game with the default FFIV ending party, and then go through the Moon again with Cid, Yang, Palom, Porom and Edward... though somehow I think you're forced to take Cecil with you, so you can't make a group out of those who weren't in the Moon in the original game. =/

[DJZen]

I don't see why you couldn't though. Imagine if they DID let you replace Cecil? It doesn't seem terribly out of the question.

[Sefie1999AD]

Sure, that would be neat, but who would use the crystal against Zeromus then?

[Rase]

Edward.

[DJZen]

And that would pwnz.
