Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection airshipping to Europe on April 22
Cecil, Tellah, Rosa and the gang will take up arms against the powers of nefarious crystal-hogs once again in Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, which Square Enix has now adorned with an April 22 European release date -- a few days after North America's April 19 due date. The PSP-exclusive collection not only includes the original, SNES RPG (bolstered with some fancy-schmancy new graphics and CGI cutscenes), but also the After Years expansions, which players will be able jump right into if they don't feel like replaying the original, casualty-heavy saga. The Complete Colelction will be available in both a standard and special edition, which includes a handful of lovely little Final Fantasy IV art cards, a PSP screen cloth and a DLC voucher for Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy. That cloth would actually be kind of handy -- you'll need something to mop up your tears following that one scene. You know. With those kids. And that hallway.

Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection's classy collector's compilation catalogued
Square Enix has revealed the "Ultimate Pack" for Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, the PSP release of Final Fantasy IV and The After Years, coming to Japan on March 24. This Square Enix E-Store exclusive is rather lovely to look at and comes with an artbook, game guide and 17-track audio CD, called "Final Fantasy IV The After Years Sounds Plus." Five of the tracks on the CD have yet to be decided (Square Enix is asking Japanese Square Enix Members to vote for them from a list). Even if you aren't a member, you can still listen to samples of all the tracks in the running. Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, and the Ultimate Pack, have not been announced for release outside of Japan.
Final Fantasy IV and The After Years collected on PSP
We're a little surprised it took this long for Square Enix to bundle Final Fantasy IV and its mobile / WiiWare followup, The After Years. Square does enjoy re-releasing Final Fantasy IV after all. The latest version is Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection for PSP, revealed in V-Jump magazine. Complete Collection includes an updated version of FFIV, like the freshened-up Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy 2 released on PSP, with fancy graphics for spells and new character portraits, combined with 2D character models. The After Years is presented in the same style. The Complete Collection is slightly more complete than just the two games on their own: it also includes an exclusive story connecting the two. It'll be released in Japan this spring. There's no reason not to expect Square Enix to localize this Final Fantasy game, so it's only a matter of time.
