A Classic Tale of Love and Redemption
The first three Final Fantasy games have been re-released in the form of the Pixel Remaster series, and now Final Fantasy IV is set to join them early next month. Final Fantasy fans will soon be able to re-live one of the series’ most iconic stories on PC and mobile devices–and with a shiny new coat of digital paint.
In this game, players will once again take on the role of Cecil, a dark knight of the kingdom of Baron, who is sent with his elite airship fleet the Red Wings to attack the kingdom’s neighbors. Distressed by his orders, Cecil decides to fight against Baron with the help of his trusted friend Kain and beloved Rosa.
