Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / FFIV Dev photos and The Cutting Room Floor
« on: July 24, 2016, 02:10:42 PM »
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!
