I’m here for the original cast of characters. They’re like old friends you haven’t seen in awhile and check on every now and then.

Okay, after watching these FMV movies I have to ask.....how the hell do these crystals get stolen so easy? The games make it look like they're just grabbing them and putting them in their pockets or something. But dude, those are some big, fucking crystals.

Wonder if Rosa ever popped her eye at some point on those spikes on Cecil's armor.

This is one of the best Final Fantasy games I have ever played. I totally love it.

Bravo *applause* These intros are so magnificient I want to cry

This game is seriously one of my most favorite Final Fantasy games ever.

Watching this and the final fantasy 4 ds opening made me think that final fantasy 4 could be made into an amazing anime series get on this shit mad house or ufotable

friendzone level: Edge

That Kain who "trying again" was the culmination of all Kain's dark thoughts and emotions. Dark Kain was always the unlucky person from how I saw him; he would always be the guy who never gets the girl who he loves due to his friend already in love that girl. To add to that, he has to suppress that emotion for a long time. Thus creating his inner darkness.

Time to check in on my childhood

That sequence where the "Hooded Man" jumps around while fighting "Kain" pretty much gives you-know-what away. I can't imagine anyone would think otherwise.

holy shit palom and porom look so swag after their toddler days :O

when it looks like kain's about to kiss rosa, i think of cecil saying: dude, thats my wife

Notice how the last shot in the cutscene is also used to represent the final tale in the story select screen? That's a nice touch.

2:03 its so beautiful

SPOILERS: It made me very happy to see how much Kain had changed to want to protect Ceodore as much as he did. It was almost like an homage to how Cecil protected child Rydia for so long.

As of 10:30 PM July 17th Sunday 2022 this video has 333k views, posted 11 years ago with 1.9k likes and the channel 118 subs with this comment being the 281st. FFIV is easily my favorite final fantasy and the opening cinematics from the initial re-releases/compilations always make me feel excited everytime, if only a little bit.

I want this and the original FF4 made into 2 superlong movies. Preferably CGI, so everyone looks like in the trailers. Hurry up and do it already!

I wish they would remake this, it has the potential of a good story.

the last dungeon was absurdly long

when i was growing playing ff4 i had a weakness for rydia, and i still do

Amazing work

I wish they do a 3d remake of final fantasy 6. I loved the storyline.

How the hell does Kain keep all that hair underneath his hood?

@XTORD1 in 1:35 is Ursula (Yang Daugther) & in 1:44 is Ceodore{his name was combined name from Cecil & Theodore/Golbez} he's Cecil & Rosa Son.

Thanks guy, Made some good wallpapers out of this

Yeah I've always been sorry for him. Not only because he's in love with a woman who prefers his best friend over him, but also because he got all the blame for Golbez's actions when he controlled him, even though it wasn't his fault.

I have considered buying a PSP for the sole purpose of owning this sequel.

Of all the FF games, FF4 is my favorite. Then FF6 and FF7. FF4 is so good because it's a typical cliche adventure and it doesn't try to be different.

Yes, in fact, it relies on a DS version-exclusive cut scene, so technecally it is a sequel to the DS version only.

i'm a huge fan of FF4 and bought the Wii version for 800 points, only to find that it's 15 minutes long and wants to charge you another 800 points to continue the story. I wouldn't have minded if they billed $20 for the whole thing (main quest pt 1 and 2 and side stories), but both halves of the story and all the side quests (each individually priced) add up to something ridiculous.

You can find it in Final Fantasy IV: Interlude.

I downloaded this from the Wiiware in x-mas 2010. Didn't get this movie though. For an after the fact sequel in the 16-bit era this game was so great. I doubt anyone who didn't play and like the original could enjoy it, but if you did it was so worth getting. Kain, Ursula, and Porom were great episodes, as were the 5 ninjas. I'll bet that everyone who's played this game has their favorites episodes though. I wonder how this game was set up on the PSP? On the Wii each character's story was DLC.

@mindstheprison: All of this is based off of their Amano artwork, rather than their sprites. Hence why they look that way. On the flipside? Gilbart/Edward looks pretty badass.

@HayabusaTaichou: Yang's daughter, Ursula. I'm kinda sad the intro didn't show Harley, or the Eblana Four. But they included Leonora, which is good. Plus grown-up Palom and Porom.

2:09 dat evil ohgod-Im mindcontrolled (again!) smile...

Oh shit I wanna play this now.

Rydia Edge

I'm such a Giga-dork for the original game. I've played The After Years on my wii, but this game may be the only reason I would still buy a PSP.

They're both good in my opinion.

This is in the PSN store but only for the PSP as a digital download

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Kain's trying again with Rosa XDDD The poor guy.

Cecil is just way too epic. you're right, poor kain.

the spoiler of intro is Fake Kain and Original Kain

in ff3 Ingus in his character designs is wearing a crystal 'round his neck, i mean the ds remake version.

yeah I really like this intro but I do tend to agree that a "tech" demo opening is not the way to go and would much prefer openings that are simply a showing of events prior to the start of the game. Although I do get for a sequel or remake people want to see all the major characters that they know. I personally liked how they did the PSX opening for FFVI since the majority of it shows events prior to the start of the game.

Why isn't this game getting a remake or two instead of FF 7?

I like this scene 2:07

Reminds me of "Terranigma" for SNES, where the main guy had a little box with a dimensional warehouse inside so you could store your sh*t.

Rydia! We love you!

AMANZING!

You have a point, sir.

YANG! y u no change your training part since the previous opening XD

My only concern is did Kain get paid for essentially babysitting Cecil’s kid?

I always wanted to play this game but they won't release it on disc or PlayStation Network.

When I saw it was sold out, I was like, "FUUUUUUUUU-"

how can i download it ?? i like it

I feel old

Holy shit 7 years later and 247k views xD

You see, the After Years FMV shows the changes in the characters compared to the FFIV FMV, look at the FMV, and compare them yourselves.

i did not know there was 2 final fantasy IV xD

:OOOOOOO I need to finish 4 so I can buy thissssssss omgggggg

We going to the moon boys !!

They live in a fantasy world filled with monsters and magic. If shit made since, then their would be no fun. FF7 had a charactor who had gravity defying hair and a large sword that he carries easily.

Well you also have to consider all the items they are flipping carrying too. I mean swords, armor, accessory's, potions..ect ect. Its always confused me...That and Zelda.

@OnFireGamer So the guys 2:14 fight Kain vs. Kain? And why don´t stay Kain on the end with the other ? :(((

Hey, what I wanted to know is, is there a person who can do a band with golbez exept Fusoya or is there not?

nothing video appears Tellah :/

Well they do in Dissidia! so cheer up my friend.

In the DS version of the original FFIV, they very blatantly change size in between camera shots. They go from being the size of a human to roughly the size of a soda bottle. So the developers don't know either.

am i the only one who didnt play with that son of cecil :p cecil and rosa for ever :3

Is this for PSP too. I've been going through an old Final Fantasy kick. Just bought 6. When I beat that I'd like to play IV and the After Years.

The crystals seem to naturally float, so maybe you can just push them to take them.

am i the only one who would love to see cecil's reaction when he finds out rosa's pregnant? i figure it'd be adorable X3

Should i get the ds version of iv or the psp version of iv

oh i love rydia

What's the title of the ost at the beginning?

@HayabusaTaichou Oh, did ur mean is Ursula?

When I first watched this intro I actually thought that Leonora was Porom because I recognized Polom right away and they did a combo spell together but then I asked myself 'but wait Porom is a white mage then I found out when playing Ceodore's tale that the pink haired girl was Porom. Wait what but her hair was brown I don't know if square enix made her hair pink so that her outfit would make sense (not to offend anyone who likes it or the company) I just found it a bit confusing that's all. But hey its still one of my favorite opening in final fantasy

Where is LUCA?

Rydia & Edge~

Anyone know what the name of this song is???

This and the other final fantasy games will be the only reason I ever get a psp. D: < WHEN DID THIS COME OUT???

just like in pokemon you store your bike in your backbag it's video game logic :P

@tsubasa1988 there are actually... lets see, four now xD the original, the 3d remake of the original, the wii ware one thats a continuation of the original, and now this one :P

shame they didn't put all the characters in this op. would of been cool to see cid the 4 ninjas and the other characters like golbez and fusoya.

Great!

It would be awesome if this would be remade in thd PS3 or something..

The only way to know these are spoilers is by playing the game. You need to play the game to know the details so you can say " x sequence is this part of the game". So no spoilers whatsoever. Heck you could argue that the intro from FFIV DS had more spoilers than this

Japan could make 3 movies out of that game and use the core story. I wonder if Mila Kunis would play Rydia :>

si esto es un juego para la GBDS quiero jugarlo YA!

This takes 1,000 memory block, I've played it.

2:17 Hey look it's Endwalker!

Pretty sure that's an evil Kain... haven't gotten that far in the game yet, just started, but he doesn't look like himself.

That just makes me wish After Years was a better game.

Well, they can fit tents in their pockets. Why not big-ass crystals?

Remember when corona virus wasn't a thing in the 2000s ah the good times

The girl at 1:33 looks a hell of a lot like Vanille from FF13.

There goes Kain again, hehehe

Opps, not PS1, but Super Nintendo! FF 1-3 were played on Nintendo, and SQUARE changed the game platform to Super Nintendo when Nintendo was upgraded. FF4-6 were on Super Nintendo, and it was FF7 when SQUARE again changed the platform to Play Station. FF fans cried but still paid for both new platform and new FF. It was 22 years ago when I first played FF4 when I was in Japan...
