Final Fantasy IV (Super Famicom) Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translation

Final Fantasy IV (Super Famicom) (7.19.91)

A ground breaking evolution to the series, Final Fantasy IV brought a brilliantly paced story and the active time battle system, which was continued in numerous games afterwards. Curiously, Cecil, Rosa and Edge are accompanied by the more generic black and white mage designs, still encountered in towns.

Ships which sail the skies, the airships. People's long standing dream has become a reality. At the same time, they've come upon a way to fulfill their wickedest desires. Commanding the airship group, [The Red Wings], the Kingdom of Baron is the world's strongest military state. Now, the gears of the country are starting to malfunction. An ominous shadow is cast over the land... The roars of the cannons. Clouds of dust. People frantically trying to escape.


Why is it that Baron is obsessed with the Crystals? What in the world could be happening?

The legendary crystals, simply glowed silently. It's as if they knew everything...

The curtain now opens...to the grand story.


Impactful graphics and sound.

Mountains which tower up to the heavens. Valleys leading to the abyss. Ships which fly through the air.  Particular to the Super Famicom, the game is overflowing with finely crafted three dimensional graphics and a magnificent soundtrack which make up this Final Fantasy world.


New System: Active Time Battle.

The new battle system is filled with tension. 

The ability to assess an ever-changing battle situation is the key to victory. Party members (5 maximum) can be divided with both controllers, allowing for two-player simultaneous play.


A deep story and characters.

A carefully crafted story unfolds. Numerous friends and unique characters. Frightful evil

beings. Towns, castles and a varied landscape. Much joy, and sorrow, awaits in this super authentic role-playing game that's filled with surprises.
