Final Fantasy IV Will Be Released On Steam On September 8th

Square Enix is releasing the next piece of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster set with Final Fantasy IV coming out on September 8th. One of the most classic stories in the entire franchise about love and betrayal, as most western players were introduced to this game as Final Fantasy II on the SNES, and served as an introduction to the series for those who never played the original NES title. Now you can experience it with a ton of upgrades and other content on PC. What's more, Square Enix is currently selling the bundle with 20% off, if you're looking to pick up everything released so far and what's to come. We have the full details below of what FF4 will come with when you purchase it.

In Final Fantasy IV, The Kingdom of Baron sends their elite airship fleet, the Red Wings, to attack the surrounding countries. Distressed by his mission, Cecil, a dark knight and captain of the Red Wings, decides to fight against the tyrannical Baron with his trusted friend and his paramour at his side. In his search for the crystals, Cecil must travel over land, under the ground, to the Land of Summons and even to the moon. Along the way, players will join forces with Kain the dragoon, Rosa the white mage, Rydia the summoner and many more skilled allies.
