I enjoyed the original FFIV and am anxious to play this. The first chapter and the Rydia extra DLC I know are both out on the net. It looks really awesome (if you're into old school RPGs).Main Game (MUST BE INSTALLED TO USE DLC!):Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Matrix Software and published by Square Enix, and is the sequel to Final Fantasy IV. The first two chapters of the game were released in Japan in February 2008 for NTT DoCoMo FOMA 903i series phones, with a release for au WIN BREW compatible phones in May 2008 and Yahoo! Keitai compatible phones in November 2008. The mobile phone release was distributed in monthly installments, the first of which was free to download, while the following chapters available via subscription. An English-language release was announced as a WiiWare title on March 25, 2009. The first chapter was released in North America on June 1, 2009.Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will utilize most of the gameplay features of Final Fantasy IV, including random encounters and the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which it originally popularized. It will also retain a number of the graphical enhancements from the Wonderswan Color and Game Boy Advance versions of Final Fantasy IV, while further improving the quality of the character sprites to a level comparable with those of Final Fantasy VI.The battle system uses a new feature called the "Age of the Moon", which reflects the game's lunar phases, which change as players rest at inns, with each of the phases altering physical and magical attack powers for both player characters and enemies. Certain rare monsters will also only appear during certain lunar phases.The game will also introduce a new type of combination attack through the "Band System", known as a "Band" ability. Similar to the Double and Triple Techs of Chrono Trigger, these allow two or more characters to coordinate separate commands into a single new attack at the cost of MP from all involved. Band abilities are said to be extremely powerful, and there will be over 50 different Band abilities in all.Following the events of the original Final Fantasy IV, the second moon leaves the Blue Planet's orbit and there is a period of peace as Damcyan, Eblan, and the Village of Mist are rebuilt, while the kingdom of Baron come under the rule of Cecil and his wife, Rosa. However, 17 years later, the second moon has reappeared in the sky, much closer to the planet than it was years ago, and the unchanging Crystals begin to emit a soft light; however, the meaning behind these events remains unknown.The game revolves around Ceodore, a young man who is the son of Cecil Harvey and Rosa Farrell, two of the protagonists from the original, both of whom return along with most of the other main cast members and a number of entirely new characters. Amongst these new additions to the cast are the Hooded Man, a wandering swordsman enshrouded in purple robes who is strangely familiar with Cecil's previous adventure, and the "Mysterious Girl", a female antagonist able to summon Eidolons who is attacking kingdoms and searching for the Crystals.The storyline of the game unfolds through episodic chapters, released roughly once a month, each with each primarily focused on a specific character. These chapters utilize foreshadowing, cliffhangers, flashbacks, and a nonlinear narrative structure to build the world setting and both explore and expand upon the mysterious events befalling the Blue Planet.
