Final Fantasy Interlude chapter is about 15 hours long photo

Final Fantasy IV Interlude will finally be playable in the PSP title Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, set for a March 24th release in Japan. It's a whole new chunk of RPG goodness that fills in the story Final Fantasy IV and The After Years. It takes place a year after the first game ends, and you play as Cecil. 

Siliconera got a chance to play a bit of it and they say that this new content is about 15 hours long. Nice! That's way bigger than I would have guessed. I guess there's a lot of story to fill out here.

Here's how it starts off: 

Cid and Cecil race in their airships from Baron to the restored Damcyan Castle. Instead of corpses, the party is greeted with living guards. Palom, Porom, and Yang are already waiting in the throne room where Edward makes a speech.

It seems that Cecil and Rosa start out at about level 30 in Interlude. Also, the battle system is based on the FFIV Super Famicom version.

I never really understood why FF4 stood out as better than those earlier Final Fantasies. In fact, FF 1-5 I can barely even remember anything about them.

This is going to a great package. I'll be getting this because imo, the 3d work for the ds version is shit. Also I never played the After Years.

Prolly because FF4 is the best one pre-FF6. It has the best story pre-FF6, one of the best battle systems pre-FF6 (tied with FF5), and the second best progression system (after FF5).

Definitely excited about this, not that I take pride in buying every goddamn version of FFIV that has ever been released.

@llort het - FFIV was pretty much the first story-driven FF that worked. Don't get me wrong, FFII has more of a story as well, but that whole key word system made progressing the story rather cryptic.

What I want to know is why the hell are the two Level 1 characters in the front row. Seriously, what kind of horrible people are Rosa and Rydia to use them as meat shields!? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?

@UncleOgre:

Really? You think this is better aesthetically pleasing than the original?

you are spoiling part of the story of ffiv by telling how the after years begins! people, don't worry when palom and porom "die"... as you can see they are alive and well in the after years.

The DS remake isn't hideous, but I prefer the 2D style. So this super-duper HD version is awesome.

15 hours, holy sh*t, I thought it was going to be some 3 hour thing, so that's cool, I never got to play the after years, so this should be a pretty good deal for me.

UncleOgre: Not for VI. Dear god, VI does not need a graphical 'update' like this. :(

I guess I should stop playing my DS version. This version has more stuff.

But, by the gods, if they release a PS3/360 version with even more stuff, I'll chuck Rydia into Gyarodos' gaping mouth.
