◆ Basic Operation & Synopsis
That's why I play FF4. Even with smartphones on the startup screen familiar with the Final Fantasy seriesPreludeWill flow.


The superior point of the smartphone version FF 4 is that it is easy to save data unlike the Super Nintendo version. Like a game of old days basically save data can only be done on the world map and specified magic square, but if you choose "Chuudon" anytime anywhere from the menu you can interrupt the game even in the dungeon . In other words, you can suspend and resume the game at the favorite place you like, so the point is that save does not become totally bothersome. Also, this interruption data is often made even when you quit the game without choosing "Chuuden" from the menu, even in the case that "I suddenly took a call and forgot to create interruption data" If you resume the game you can resume the game from the scene you interrupted.


In addition, smartphone version FF4 can choose game difficulty level at first play. If you only want to enjoy the story of the game "Normal", if you want to enjoy the battle well as well as the story, it seems good to choose "hard".


The main character of the game is Cecil · Harvey, the captain of the Red Wing.


As you can see from the dialogue that "Crystal is absolutely necessary for the prosperity of our Kingdom of Baron," FF 4 is a story about crystals like the Final Fantasy series.


"Red wings" is the name of the aircraft group of the Kingdom of Baron, and the story begins from the place where red wings led by Cecil rob the crystal from other countries and return home.


On the way back, a battle started when a flying boat was hit by a monster. With the battle screen like this, when the white gauge in the red frame part becomes Max ... ...


Battle commands will be available for selection. "Battle command" is "fight", "item", "change" "boko" is set to each character by default, and besides you can advance the battle by making full use of the character's own abilities etc. Cecil's unique ability is "Anko", it is becoming a dark knight-like ability to sacrifice his own HP and deliver a powerful attack.


For attacks, magic, items, etc., tap on the option at the bottom left of the screen or tap the target directly on the screen OK.


When the gauge on the screen turns red, the selected action is executed. Otherwise, if you tap "AUTO" at the bottom left of the screen, you can advance the battle fully automatically, you can skip the order of action of the character by tapping "SKIP". Tap "ESCAPE" to escape from the battle and tap "PAUSE" to pause the battle.


If you win the battle, you can get Gill, EXP (Experience Value), items etc. which are currencies in the game.


So when the first battle is over, the red wings arrive at the Kingdom of Baron.


It is Cecil who hands Crystal who robbed it from another country to King Baron ... ...


There is an incomprehensible declaration that King Baron will unlock the captain of Red Wings.


Cecil's best friend, Ryuukishi, Cain · High Wind appears. Cain is a knight who serves the Baron Kingdom as well as Cecil.


Cecil who was unlikely to be the captain of the red wing from King Baron can order the suppression of the phantom beast, but Cain will accompany it.


You will finally be able to move Cecil on the map here.


When you tap the screen of the smartphone, the moving pad is displayed, so sliding your finger as it is OK. Of course the operability is bad compared to using a physical controller, but moving will also be smooth if you get used to it.


If you slide your finger bigger, Cecil will dash. The detail of the character 's motion is as expected.


When Cecil is stopped, icons "Menu" and "Map" are displayed at the upper right of the screen. Tap "Menu" ......


A menu will be displayed on the right side of the screen as shown below. Also, as you open the menu, you can see what the hero's Cecil thinks about at that timing, so you can change the mindset of Cecil while advancing the story and where to go next You can get hints on what to do.


"Status" allows you to check character status and equipment. Cecil at the start of the game is at level 10, with a status screen with no heroes with zero occupation "Anko Kishi (Dark Knight)", the equipment is only dark equipment.


"Config" allows you to adjust the volume during the game and adjust the game speed. Although you may be able to play without a sense of discomfort at the beginning, you will be able to advance the game without stress if you set the battle speed and battle type to your favorite one for each player as the game progresses.


During the game, if a character that can talk to you is in front of you, you will see an exclamation mark above Cecil's head. This is the same when you find items you can pick up, so when you see a mark on the head of Cecil, it seems good to tap the screen once.


Trying to talk to people in the baron kingdom in Baron Castle and castle town before starting adventure like that, you can see that the invasion of Baron Kingdom is mostly suspicious of domestic and foreign people.




And the dark knight Cecil himself is also suffering why he must deprive the crystal from innocent people.


Cecil 's adventure started from the situation with such suffering. The first trip is a close friend's dragon knight · Cain, and Cain's unique abilities are "jumps" which appear in Final Fantasy series other than FF4.


In the dungeon data can be saved only on the magic square as it is displayed on the screen. We can also use tents and cottages here so we can fully recover HP and MP of party members at once. When enemies and bosses in the dungeon are too strong, it is often that you raise the level of the party based on this magic square.


In addition, when exploring the dungeon, a percentage indicating how much the dungeon has surpassed for each floor is displayed ......


When this becomes 100% you can get items.


◆ Character rich in character
Speaking of FF 15, which is the latest release of the series just released, there is no need for the main character party to replace members of the battle with only four people, but FF 4 has changed with that and various characters have appeared I will. Everyone has different mission and purpose and helps Cecil's journey, but the change of the party members is very intense, if you think that "the level of the party has come up to a good feeling ... ..." suddenly the members Total replacement is also available. Frequently speaking, it is possible to develop various battles by making use of the character's unique abilities, but if it speaks badly, it will be biased towards the party members and the level gaps will be great, making it an element that increases the difficulty of the game I also feel like.

Not only Cecil 's ally is attractive, enemy characters are also individualistic. Also, the boss game is devised so that it can not be cleared simply by repeated hitting a button, monsters that invalidate all attacks, monsters through which attacks pass only under certain conditions, monsters that trigger a powerful counter attack So, as you battle, you need to firmly identify the characteristics of the boss and be careful not to miss the display displayed at the top of the screen.

◆ Remake unique version of high image quality & politeness of story development
The smartphone version of FF 4 has been ported to smartphones, FF 4 released in full remake for Nintendo DS in 2007, not FF 4 released in 1991 for Super Nintendo Entertainment. By remake, the smartphone version of FF4 has the same basic system story as the original version, but adding a new story or changing the image to high resolution 3DCG, some with a voice event It may be surprising as it has been remade or quite considerably remodeled. Thanks to that remake, there is no "sudden story evolution" that you may feel when playing an old game, so rather like a polite story development or an event with a voice you can see the change of the character's mind very well It is becoming.

Production which can not be expressed in the age of Super Nintendo ... ...


Events with voice express well the change of the mind of the character, and it is made to be able to get in with the game.


There are also battle events, etc. It has become a heavy story that can not be thought of as a game that was born in 1991.


And the mysterious enemy character Golvesa that appears.



Can Cecil break away from the blood painted past?



The smartphone version FF 4 has become the royal road story over Crystals like the Final Fantasy series, and there are plenty of elements that support the Final Fantasy series such as active time battle which fights in real time and magic and abilities appearing in other series . A story of the characters who fight to protect Cecil and important things that change through adventure as well as high-quality images that can be easily played even by people who are deeply into FF's world from relatively new Final Fantasy series such as FF 15 It is moving. Because it is a remake version, it is a Ryosaku who wants to experience the super Famicom version of FF 4 by all means, so even if you install it during holiday sale during year-end and new year holidays there is no.
