Final Fantasy IV Coming to XBLA?

Final Fantasy IV Coming to XBLA?

None

According to some high-class sleuthing work over at 1up, Final Fantasy IV may make its way to the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The news crew found a mysterious URL (http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/games/f/finalfantasy4/) that appears to connect to a sparse details page that has yet to be filled in with substantial info. Nevertheless, the existence of the details page surely means Final Fantasy IV will make its way to the arcade service.

Pair this evidence along with last week’s official Microsoft presser concerning the future Square Enix ports to XBLA, which detailed the release of Yosumin and Crystal Defenders, and it looks like this rumor is likely.

“Beginning with these two games [Yosumin and Crystal Defenders], Square Enix plans to release a steady stream of its popular titles — as well as original content — on Xbox LIVE Arcade.”

Because Yosumin and Crystal Defenders are ported mobile titles, 1up makes the stretch that the version of Final Fantasy 4 that will be brought to the XBLA will be Final Fantasy IV: The After; a direct sequel to Final Fantasy IV.
