Cecil Harvey's turn from Dark Knight of Baron to Paladin was the story that introduced the Active Time Battle system in 1991, and this 2005 Game Boy Advance version brings it to Nintendo's handheld. It uses a fresh English translation that restores content cut from the original North American Super NES release, which had been sold as Final Fantasy II.
The additions are aimed at players who have finished it before. Late in the game you can rearrange the party at Mount Ordeals, bringing back characters who had left the story, and two new optional dungeons, the Cave of Trials and the Lunar Ruins, offer extra challenges and equipment. On the downside, the port is often criticized for weaker sound and a few battle timing quirks compared with the original, so purists still argue over which edition to recommend.
Tips for Final Fantasy IV Advance
Set the battle speed and ATB mode in the config menu; Wait mode pauses the timer while you browse spells, which helps in tough fights.
Rydia's summons and Rosa's healing carry many boss fights, so keep them in the back row where they take less physical damage.
