Final Fantasy IV: The After Years?

[Rock Raiyu]

Remember a few weeks back when I posted about Final Fantasy IV: The After and it heading to XBLA? Well a little something has appeared from that. Take a gander below.

We mentioned Final Fantasy IV: The After here many times. Always with an undercurrent of disappointment since the direct sequel to Final Fantasy IV is a Japan-only mobile phone game. Recently, Square Enix found ways to bring their mobile phone games outside of Japan. Crystal Defenders came out for the iPhone and is being retooled into an Xbox Live Arcade / PlayStation Network / WiiWare game. This happened a few months after we discovered a trademark for Crystal Defenders.

On the European Patent and Trademark database I found a trademark for “The After Years” registered by Square Enix. While this isn’t 100% related to Final Fantasy IV: The After, it sure sounds like an alternate and better worded international subtitle.

This was an episode based cell phone game. It was a direct sequel to FF4, only a considerable time later. It uses graphics pulled straight from the Wonderswan and GBA versions of FF4. Here's a video:

I want this. Now lol. FF2(US) was one of my favorite games for YEARS, and getting to replay it time and time again has been wonderful... that game STILL holds up (for me

).

And the music is the same.

A wonderful retro style game for me, that i PRAY gets a translation... I suppose we shall see.
