Making a Archive

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 1 June 2009(UTC)  -   "If you don’t know, then I will show you. This is the true form of despair.": The talk page of this article was way too long so I make a Archive for it, no problem?

		No probs. Any news on when this is getting released on the European WiiWare channel?

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 1 June 2009(UTC)  -   "Into the depths of darkness.": Nope and I have all day searching for information and images (you can see my work in the articles) but I did find a trailer of the game for those who are interested in the game (like me): [[Video:Final Fantasy IV The After Years Preview|center|300px]]

		It don't work that way, sadly. If it didn't come from the same Wii as it was downloaded on, it won't play.

		I know. I thought I didn't have to use <joke></joke> for that one. The Wii makes that very clear when you buy WiiWare. I have heard of people getting around the restriction for the Virtual Console, though. I'm considering an attempt to make it work for WiiWare, too.

New guy here, but if you love this game, wouldn't that be counterproductive? You're trying to support the series through legal purchases, right? Anyway, I'm going to try to help on this article where I can as I just finished the story portion of the first part. Also, does anyone know the name of the song that plays when the Mysterious Girl appears? DerekRumpler 11:36, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know when the Yang (or next) chapter is gonna be released? Silas Harvey

Released?

I'm getting mixed messages from this article. The introduction implies that all of the chapters are released on WiiWare, with some costing 300 points and others grouped together and costing 800 points. However, the chapter summaries state that only four chapters are released, with the Prologue, Ceodore and Kain chapters grouped together, and Rydia's as an additional download. Which is the correct case here? I don't currently have access to WiiWare, so I can't verify this for myself. 24.78.39.15 21:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

It stops after you battle the fake Kain. One of our users wrote a walkthrough. It currently ends here.  ILHI 21:48, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

since this is now on wii ware do you think before crisis might come out on it? Oni Dark Link 12:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Shops

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 18 June 2009 (UTC)  -   "You know what? I’m not going to kill her. I think slow torture’s the way to go.": Since many cities from this game are the same from FFIV, should I obviously add the shops in the same article, right?.

Yes. Put the FFIV section under ===Final Fantasy IV=== and add a new ===Final Fantasy IV: The After Years=== section. (with italics and links)  ILHI ^{14:52, 19 June 2009 (UTC)}

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 19 June 2009 (UTC)  -   "What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion": Okay.

kains tale

the kains tale section is a bit wrong. it says they meet rosa and cid in baron and edward accompanys them. im playing this on the wii ware and dont want to change it in case its different in other versions. can some one confirm this? Oni Dark Link 20:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

If you're playing on the Wii, you have the right version. Don't be afraid to add information; if it's wrong by any degree, someone will change it to be right. Eric Ryan Jones 20:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

its on the kain page also though. Oni Dark Link 20:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Then it's more likely to be right. Go for it. Eric Ryan Jones 21:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

thats why i wanted to ask some one to confirm it, Oni Dark Link 21:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Someone make a memo about Japanese names

Check the WiiWare site. It's called The After Years. The mobile version is just called The After. It has two names, but I guess you can call The After Years the remastered edition. 156.12.219.88 22:51, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Why would we call it "Remastered"? The Japanese name is stated in the article already. Drake Clawfang 23:06, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Remake for other platforms

		Gustav Margriff - Hell yeah! Final Fantasy the best game ever! TALK - 21:24, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
		They should do others i mean, it is very difficult for me to obtain these kind of games for cellphone i don't have that much to play for phones i prefer to download them on my pc then play them.

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu November 15 2009(UTC)  -   "But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts...": You realize that the game is in Wii too, right?

Art differences

So, since the artwork was altered for the English release, does that mean to play the original game we need to buy it on a Japanese system and get some kind of translation software going on?

If they were willing to alter the character artwork, perhaps they also altered some of the dialogue? This seems like an extremely critical issue. Do we have comparison shots of the three girls in addition to the Ceodore example posted at the bottom? Ty 19:28, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

New remake on the way..

A ridiculous bug

In PSP i was diong rydia's challenge, right? So I killed off a bunch of horrible bats...but now the last one wont die. He's just sitting there. Not acting, my poison isnt killing him, he's not draining, my attacks arent missing. Nothing-is-happening. I even got a critical hit flash once with nothing happening! 96.28.157.126 00:25, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Oddly Worded Sentence

The last part of the "Bands" section was worded oddly, and didn't make clear that you could only learn story bands from the story, and only learn the rest by experiment. I fixed it but am not certain I phrased it well: "Some of these Band abilities are learned as the story progresses, but the player can learn others only by "searching" for them during battle and then inputting the correct commands." 74.132.249.206 22:20, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

3D version and changes.

seems the port is pretty faithful to the original version.. except that it's in 3D, now has a minimap and achievements. i don't personally own the new version.. but i watched it in action here. i think someone also reported that having FF4 and starting a game here gave him small tails according to the number of tails he got in FF4.--Arciele Spira (talk) 16:23, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'm hoping to get this soon, so I'll be able to report any changes :) Tia-Lewise 16:25, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

I got it last night when it released on iOS. I can't really tell if theres any changes to the story yet, but some of the music themes are minorly different compared to the PSP version, most evident to me (so far) is the Maenad's theme (Havent gotten to the battle theme yet) is a little more.. hallowy?. I'd rip it for other people, but I have no clue what to do with akb files. Anyways, Ceodores tale seems exactly the same as it is on PSP, with the obv 3d changes. You do get 14 small tails for playing FF4, which I assume are used to exchange for a rainbow tail later on. Zmon1 (talk) 18:07, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
