Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Coming to WiiWare June 1st

Sweet. I plan to buy this the day it comes out. June FIRST!

See what I did there?

so awesome. :3

Thank you.

Cool,I hope they release Final Fantasy IV first.

People already have the next NP issue?
I don't get mine usually till the 15th-17th of the month.

So thats the NA release right? I figured it'd be a longer wait. Sweeeet.

@ supersonic1990. I agree. It would be preferable for those who haven't to play the first game before playing its sequel

Now if we could just find out how many points it will be and if it will be released in just one download or multiple episodes. I wish they would give other WiiWare games release dates too. Microsoft gives release dates for their XBLA games so why not Nintendo? Oh well, at least now I'll have my points ready for June 1st!

Excellent.

YESSSSSSSS!!! Day 1 buy for me - If I have enough Wii points.

Please tell me this will be a full fledged SNES style RPG and not just some half assed mobile phone game. I really want this to be good.

You forget that mobile phone games in Japan are WAY ahead of ours. This is gonna be great. Now I have less than a month to find FF4 and beat it. But I know someone who can help me with the first part! (hint hint Nintendo, hint hint)

wow thats a whole month away. do you guys realize that a month equals like forever in gamer time??

I'm more amazed that someone was able to post a release date for a WiiWare or DSiWare game... Blows my mind that I KNOW what's coming out at least a day before the game comes out.. lol

When's the European and Australian release?!
I really want this game!!

The game is for 4 players? Oh wow! That's a great feature.

You know, guys, I never see any mention of this, but you dudes KNOW this isn't one single game and that's it right? It's a multi-part release, like it was in Japan with individual parts coming out over time.

I was stunned to hear this, so I think it's info that needs to circulate a bit more lest people be shocked and angry come June 1st.

I think it's relatively well known at this point that it's episodic....a browse of the game's website indicates it'll be episodic, and the 9 parts will be released in some episodic format (conjecture has landed at 3 sets of 3 episodes apiece, which sounds reasonable)

@Swerd_Murd
I thought so too, but most people still seem to refer to it as one single entity. Even on Wikipedia it's not completely made clear that it's anything but a single game with multiple chapters inside.

I just throw it out there whenever I think people might be getting the wrong impression, because I'd hate to see a bunch of disappointed folk when they realize they've only bought one out of multiple parts.

I hadn't heard the three episodes per release though, that would be a nice compromise on Square's part. I guess I'm just pessimistic after the mind-boggling Crystal Defenders split.

Looks like a fanmade hack to me.

How about they release FFIV first on VC as they have promised, many gamers i'm sure even Final Fantasy fans have never played FFIV before and won't get this unless it's out for VC.. personally i'll wait, what's the point of playing a sequel..

Wow! I'm surprised it's coming so soon! This is definitely an instant buy for me. FFIV is probably my favorite FF game. Ahhh.... I can't wait for new-classic FF action!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! downloadin this as soon as i go home that day

Hopefully this means the Final Fantasy games aren't far away from coming to the VC.

By the way: June 1st is my birthday xD

Awesome. Can't wait.

Hmm, I suppose there is nothing stopping them from releasing the original Final Fantasy games out of order, so a VC release of FFIV before or on the day of this release isn't totally out of the question. I'm curious if they'll actually change the title from Final Fantasy II to IV for the North American release...

I bet its going to be released as Final Fantasy II just like the SNES game.

Actually now that I think about it, didn't a DS remake come out for FFIV about a year ago? That might be what's stopping them right now.

@Ragnor - We are birthday buddies

Happy Birthday to me, im going to play final fantasy

YESSS!!! I can't believe it!! ^^ I'm waiting for this game since it was announced!!

old news, but still feels great to read again and again
I dont think they'll be launching FF4 on VC yet, SE is probably counting on you already played the original game 17 years ago, or one of the remakes on PSX, GBA or DS... why not track down one of those copies instead of waiting for a VC release? besides, GBA and DS remakes are by far the best releases of the game.

And about the episodic content , i hope that from day 1 you can buy all the episodes you want, and finish them at your own leisure, that could be the best way to sell the game

Great, now an European release date...

By the way, i think i'm never going to download this. I never liked anything de original FFIV neither classic J-RPGs(except Chrono Trigger). So this wont touch my Wii...

I'm guessing the DS release of Final Fantasy IV means we won't see that for a while. At least we'll be getting this sooner than later.

Square already announced that FFIV/II will be hitting the VC for sure, they just didn't say when, remember guys?

YES!!!

Hm, I didn´t reflect over the episode- thing before. That´s a bit of a letdown, I hoped they would have put the pieces together for the VC relesase =/
