Introduction

The Super Nintendo brought American gamers countless titles that are considered classics to this day. RPG gaming purists have especially fond memories of this generation of games, for gems such as Chrono Trigger graced the genre at this time. Thankfully, another SNES-RPG classic of the early 1990s, Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV in Japan) has been re-released for a third time, this time on the Game Boy Advance in the form of Final Fantasy IV Advance. With extras not found on the Wonderswan or Playstation re-releases of the title, Final Fantasy IV Advance boasts all of what made the original title great, with two extra dungeons, the original difficulty of the Japanese release, and a slew of other extras and additions that will keep even the most seasoned veteran playing for hours on end.
