Final Fantasy IV: Namingway Edition
ファイナルファンタジーIV · Final Fantasy II (North America)
Rodimus Primal's long-running retranslation hack of the SNES Final Fantasy IV, which reworks the North American script to sit much closer to the Japanese original.
What it is
The North American SNES release of Final Fantasy IV, sold there as Final Fantasy II, is known for a rushed, heavily trimmed script. The Namingway Edition by Rodimus Primal starts from that version and rewrites the text to follow the Japanese game more faithfully, along with a number of other adjustments listed in the documentation that comes with the patch.
Version
