Final Fantasy IV is a turn-based RPG developed by Square and released in 1991 for SNES. Players control Cecil, a dark knight, and assemble a party of characters through the game's narrative progression. Combat uses a menu-driven system where characters take turns based on their speed stats. The game features a linear story structure across multiple continents and dungeons, with character-specific abilities and magic spells unlocked as the story advances. Players navigate towns and dungeons in real-time using the d-pad, then enter turn-based battles when encountering enemies.
