What is FINAL FANTASY IV: THE AFTER YEARS?
This single-player RPG takes place seventeen years after Final Fantasy IV, as Prince Ceodore joins the Red Wings and a new moon brings monsters. You play through ten character-focused tales, travel between locations, and fight with a party in Active Time Battles. Lunar phases affect attacks and abilities, while Band abilities let party members combine their skills.
