Final Fantasy IV (ファイナルファンタジーIV, Fainaru Fantajī Fō^?) is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) in 1991 as a part of the Final Fantasy video game series. The game first appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, then was ported by TOSE with minor differences to the Sony PlayStation, the Bandai WonderSwan Color and the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. It was first released in North America as Final Fantasy II, although the original name was restored in later releases.

The player takes the role of Cecil, a Dark Knight from the kingdom of Baron, on his journey to save the world from the evil Golbez. Struggling to prevent Golbez from acquiring powerful Crystals, Cecil learns of his heritage and travels through three realms to battle Golbez's minions. His lover, best friend, and other warriors join him for the adventure.^[4]

Final Fantasy IV introduced innovations that became staples of the Final Fantasy series and role-playing games in general.^[5][6] Its "Active Time Battle" system was used in six subsequent Final Fantasy games. Its character-driven plot, use of the new technologies (such as Mode 7) and critically acclaimed score by Nobuo Uematsu have prompted critics to consider Final Fantasy IV one of the greatest games of all time.^[7]
