Additional Hints & Tips
Hint #1
In the Japanese copy of Final Fantasy IV, you can find a Secret Programmers Room in the bowels of King Giotto's castle. Here, you can converse with the programmers, fight the designers, meet the musicians, and search the bookshelves for the most exciting item in the entire game : the Porno Book. Use it, and the screen turns red while Calcobrena's music plays...
Hint #2
This secret is so rare and hard to find that many gamers considered it an impossibility when it was first discovered. In a room within the final dungeon, Lunar Subterranean, Level 5, far right, resides the rarest enemy in the game known as the Pink Puff. The odds of meeting a Pink Puff alone are 1 in 64. Once one manages to defeat the Pink Puff, one has a 1 in 64 chance of acquiring the rarest item in the game - The Pink Tail. Take the Pink Tail back to Earth and trade it for the Adamant Armor. Now, even the most powerful attacks the game has to offer will only do 1-2 damage!
Hint #3
As you are aware, the version of Final Fantasy IV that was released in the states is not the same as the Japanese version. Many items, areas and even character skills were hidden to make it easier for gamers in the states. Needless to say, many gamers were upset by this 'dumbing down' of their favorite RPG. But not to worry, all is not lost! The elements can be recovered using a Game Genie and the correct codes. Sacrifice a party member for a greater cause with Last Hope! Summon a Cocatrice to turn opponents to stone! The possibilities are endless.
Historical Facts
Sold as Final Fantasy II in the states, Final Fantasy IV marked a major turning point in the series. It was the first game of the series to make a plot much more than merely a series of strung-together events and quests. The abundant character development and dialogue signified the more cinematic direction that the series would take. It was also the first game to truly shake up the gaming industry with its stunning sound and graphics - features that would soon become a series highlight.
