Final Fantasy 4 Sequel 'After Years' Coming to Wii, Original FF Games Hitting Virtual Console

by Chris Faylor and Nick Breckon, Mar 25, 2009 10:02am PDT

The Wii will soon see a total of four more Final Fantasy releases from Square Enix, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata just revealed in his Game Developers Conference keynote.

Left, FF4: The After Years. Right, My Life as a Darklord.

The Final Fantasy IV sequel "The After Year"s and Final Fantasy Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord will arrive as downloadable WiiWare games, while the Virtual Console will stock Final Fantasy I (NES) and Final Fantasy IV (SNES). All are due this year.

In a separate press release, Square Enix further noted that other classic Final Fantasy entries are also bound for the Virtual Console, but no timeline was provided.

An FF4 sequel, eh?

Seeing as how FF4 was the game that made me the hardcore gamer nerd that I pathetically exist as today, I don't know what to think of this. I just hope it stays true to the original's heartwarmingly ridiculous storyline.
