Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection

Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection is a compilation video game announced on December 13, 2010 by Square Enix. The compilation consists of remakes of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.[2] They are both combined into one game and the game is set to be released on UMD[3] and digital download[4] for the PlayStation Portable, and was released in Japan on March 24, 2011[4]. It is scheduled for release on April 19, 2011 in North America and April 22, 2011 for Europe.[5][6] There is also a new playable plot element called Interlude, which bridges the gap between Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.[7][8][9][10]
[edit]Development

The game is supervised by Takashi Tokita and will feature high resolution sprites[11] similar to those used in the previous Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II remakes on the PSP.[7] A new soundtrack arrangement,[7][12] new levels,[13] a new computer generated imagery (CG) opening, and a gallery mode for viewing Yoshitaka Amano's artwork[14] and CG movies are also included in the game.[11] The game will run with a 16:9 screen ratio and use CG videos from the Nintendo DS remake of IV.[10] In Japan, the collection is being made available in a collector's edition[15] "Ultimate Pack" including an art book called Final Fantasy IV Complete Arts, a game guide, and Final Fantasy IV The After Years Sounds Plus—a 17-track audio CD whose final five tracks will be selected by votes cast by Japanese Square-Enix members.[16][17] This collector's bundle is packaged in a box with art based on one of Yoshitaka Amano's images.[4]
