Final Fantasy 4 was an absolute revolution, and for many fans, THIS is where the series truly began. In this retrospective, I’ll explain why this game became the blueprint to Square’s success, and the foundation upon which the rest of the series was built.

PS. Welcome to my new channel! This video was originally posted on my old channel on March 22nd, 2022. It’s reposted here because I’m starting a new channel dedicated to this type of content. I also took the opportunity to make some small updates to the video while I was at it.
