Version 2.0
Another patch another update. =)
In October 2000, J2E (www.j2etranslations.com) released their final version of
their FF4 Hard-type translation. Some of the names have been changed to their more
'traditional' FF names (that is 'Cure' instead of 'Keal'), so I figured that I might
as well make an update. I'll keep both translation versions names for those of you
still playing the original patch. I also changed the layout a bit. In the first
version I had the 'Spell list for the ending characters' section BEFORE the 'Spell
Description' part, which didn't make sense when you looked read it. Also the FAQ
more than *doubled* in size! How the heck that happened is beyond me...
Version 1.0 (September 27,1999)
I created this FAQ. As of 9/27/99, it had a complete listing of magic for
the final class (Cecil, Cain, Edge, Rosa, and Rydia), and a complete of all
spells (white, black, ninjitsu, and summon). it had the levels in which the
final party learned their spells, or where they learned their spells. Finally,
for added comfort, I included the American version spell names and the MP each
spell costs...I think it's pretty complete.
This FAQ was written for one of my favorite games of all time, if not my
favorite game of all time....Final Fantasy IV. We, the Western World,
probably know this game as Final Fantasy II, because Square of America
released it as Final Fantasy II. But in reality, it was the forth installment
of the series. Anyway, Square did a crappy job of translating it, but luckily,
a translation group known as J2e got a copy of the original Japanese version and
did a wonderful job of translating it. Anyway this FAQ is mainly about Final
Fantasy IV's magic system. Those of you familiar with Final Fantasy II probably
noticed some of the spell names are different and the levels which you receive
them are higher too (this makes for a more challenging game). So I wrote this FAQ
to list the J2e's translated spell names, as well as the required level to learn
the spell, since they are a bit higher than what you may be used too.
I wrote this FAQ myself, it's not much I know, but it did require effort (not a lot
though), so please don't steal from it. I do not care if you post it on your site
or whatever, but please keep it unchanged. I could care less if you download it and
change it, just don't upload a revised version. Send email to me or ICQ me (both
found below), I gladly accept comments, question, corrections, and flames. Also, please
do not sell this FAQ for money, because I wrote it, not you.
It's worth noting that this document is best viewed with Notepad at a 800 x 600
resolution. It's also worth noting that I'm not very good when it comes to writing
FAQs, so if there's one of those damn long-ass scroll bars at the bottom of the file,
just use the 'Word Wrap' option in Notepad to get it to look right.
