Downloading FFIV

You will need a Super Nintendo emulator to play Final Fantasy 4 and the hacks offered on this page. To play the ports, a PlayStation 1 emulator and Nintendo DS emulator are needed. You can download these emulators from my emulators page. If you need assistance with any of the emulators offered on my site, check out my emulation help subsite: Video Game Emulation for Newbies.

Due to the release of the Pixel Remasters, I can't host any ROMs here. Rather, try the links below for collections at Internet Archive. Click here if you need directions with that. If Internet Archive doesn't work out for you, I have more options in my links.

Translation Patches

A variety of translations are available that give Final Fantasy IV a more authentic experience. Translators/ROM hackers release their works as patches. To experience their translations, you must apply their patch to the original game. If you need help with patching, I have instructions in my patching guide.

Namingway Edition is an extension of Project II, attempting to bring Final Fantasy IV (FF2 US) closer to its Japanese counterpart. Using modern names where possible, and abbreviations where necessary, all items, spells, commands, jobs, and monsters are renamed. Monster stats, including the final boss, are restored to their original, along with spell learning rates. Also added to the mix is a B button Dash rather than a toggle or just walking everywhere Apply it to Fantasy II (US).
