Instant Goosebumps: Final Fantasy IV site is live photo

Before you do anything else, turn your speakers up and click this link to the newly launched North American site for Final Fantasy IV.

Wow, right? Did you not just get instant geek goosebumps? What a great looking and sounding Web page! If this did nothing for you, you either have (a) no soul, or (b) hate RPGs.

We were already pretty excited about the DS remake of the Final Fantasy classic, and we've also been keeping an eye on the amazing music for this game. But this site's epic music and beautiful art kicked my ass! 

Unfortunately, the site has nothing else to offer but its pretty picture and song. But we have you covered with new screenshots from the game in the gallery below. These screens come courtesy of the summer launch confirmation for Europe, putting them in the same boat as us with our July 22nd release date.

How excited are you for this title? 

Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, the Japanese site is also impressive.

yeah stuff being re-done in 3d is crap usually, but i dont mind this style of 3d too much, reminds me of the kiddie link art stile from the ds zelda games.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I haven't played the game in 16 years, and I hope my retro goggles don't lead me to expect too much, like I did with the Final Fantasy III remake.

I'm looking forward to this, but since I never played FFIV before I'm going to check out the GBA version first.

I'm also excited about the Dragon Quest remakes...

I am so happy they are remaking my favorite final fantasy game. I am not sure that I will be picking it up since I have two other versions already, but I hope people who never had a chance to play this amazing game get a chance now.

Oh yeah and goosebumps over here too!

Anyone know if the cover on the box is going to be the same as the Japanese release? I thought the artwork on that one was beautiful. If its not the same, I might just have to get both releases to ogle at the old cover while playing the american release.

Love the music, love the series, but no longer have time to put 80+ hours into a game. I told myself I think Crisis Core will be my last FF title for a long time. There's just no motivation to play anymore. Maybe i'll pick up the next Tactics because you can kind of pick that one up and put it down for weeks if necessary.

in summary, whatever.

They seriously need to offer that picture as a desktop wallpaper or something. It's amazing.

Final Fantasy IV (back when it was 2) was the first Game of the series that I played. I'm really looking forward to this one coming out.

Wow. The Web site actually gave me chills. I'm really looking forward to this game, and I hope to God that they fix the inexcusable bugs that're in the Japanese version.

When I went to that site, it wouldn't let me leave. O_O; Literally.

So...um...I'm a little FF illiterate and trying to get into the series, so bear with me. Um, so which one is this? Like numberwise...

@ miss hinasaki

IV is American 2
VI is American 3

Though they did release the japanese 3 in America finally.

Damn, I just bought FFVI for the GBA (shut up, I'm late).

But WTF is that crazy white blob-thing? (A thing which I can apparently train, send into battle, and give a makeover to?)

Careful what kind of speakers you have. It sounds great on my laptop and probably good on small speakers. It sounds like ass on professional studio monitors ;_;

The site's been up for a while. You almost made me think they did a major update or something {/negative nancy}

Still can I say this is my one of my most anticipated titles of 2008? I'd say number 1 but I'm a dumbass who still has a tiny amount of hope that MAYBE Dragon Quest IX will come out at the end of the year. While Squenix doesn't completely have me by the balls, I go nuts over certain titles.

@Rainbowblack: You and me both (except I still want the game)

This game represents that moment in my life where I gave up my dirt bike and the out-of-doors to become a gamer, so its a sentimental favorite of mine.
