Final Fantasy IV Namingway Edition More Information

This hack uses modern names where possible, and abbreviations where necessary, all items, spells, commands, jobs, and monsters are renamed. Monster stats, including the final boss, are restored to their original, along with spell learning rates. Also added to the mix is a B button Dash rather than a toggle or just walking everywhere.


Also added to this hack is the original treasure chests and save point graphics. The maps have all been restored back to their original FFIV, including the Developer’s Room. Items now have extended descriptions, as well.

As you can see, there’s a lot that’s different about this hack. Unlike localizations of games such as Super Mario World and Mega Man, it takes a lot of work for an RPG to be translated. Said work can involve even more than just the text. You can see this for yourself when you download this hack.

The easiest thing to do is copy the .ips file in to the same folder as the original ROM and make sure the .ips and .rom file have the same name, for example
