Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Re: FFIV Dev photos and The Cutting Room Floor

« on: July 24, 2016, 03:50:52 PM »

Next time I have free time I'll see about pixeling them in and posting patches in case people want to see those 2 portraits in-game. Any other early portraits/graphics amongst the info in that book?

Sadly there is no more FFIV unreleased pixel art, but a few pencil sketches of the battle characters / summons.
In the FF7 section there is one single amazing pic of FFVII as a (16bit) game. It think this is right after FF6 and during the time the FF7 team had to pause and work on chrono trigger - placeholder Locke in the screen like the SGI demo:

Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / FFIV Dev photos and The Cutting Room Floor

Howdy all, I just registered to share these photos from the 3 Volume Final Fantasy 25th Memorial Ultimania.
There are a few pages of FFIV dev documents, In my fragmented japanese I didn't notice any deviations from the release exception listing FuSoYa as a 'Super Mage' (ChouMadouShi) rather than 'Person of the Moon/Lunarian.' (No listing of Anna as a playable character.... I looked!)
There were 3 photos of planning sheets, the most noteworthy being a early 'Cecil / Kain / or Golbez' portrait and a different adult Rydia portrait:



The name for all portraits is roughly 'Zariganeel' - I don't know the significance of the name.

The other 2 photos are the shop screen and button config screen:

By the way, There is a great FF4 page on the cutting room floor - if you want to share your knowledge, add to it!
