An old Final Fantasy IV trailer is new again
Even though we've totally seen the TGS 2007 Final Fantasy IV trailer, it's worth seeing again now. One simple change has made it the perfect promotional vehicle for the North American launch of the game in July. That change is words. In anticipation of the English release of the remake, this trailer has been subtitled.
Despite knowing the story already, and even having seen the trailer, we were still taken aback by the dramatic presentation. We may be 2D for life types, but there's no denying that characters of semi-realistic human proportions, who have faces and can move, do a much better job of conveying emotion than 32x32-pixel sprites.
This new trailer comes from the updated Final Fantasy IV website, which also shows the possibly-final, totally minimalist boxart. We've screencapped it and placed the image after the break for your perusal!
