Characters Of Final Fantasy IV
Square Co. Ltd.'s role-playing game Final Fantasy IV features a large number of characters designed by Yoshitaka Amano. The game focuses on Cecil Harvey, a knight of Baron who embarks on a quest to defeat Golbez, a man that is controlling the king of Baron. During his quest Cecil, joined by his childhood friends Kain Highwind and Rosa Farrell, meets other warriors around the world who also seek to stop Golbez. While the game was released in 1991 and was ported to multiple consoles. In 2007 Square Enix released a remake for the Nintendo DS that added voice acting in both Japanese and English versions.
The game's 2008 sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is set seventeen years after Final Fantasy IV and introduces a slew of new characters that accompany returning ones. Primarily revolving around Ceodore Harvey, the son of Cecil and Rosa, the game weaves a new tale through character-centric chapters, with special emphasis placed on Ceodore's opinions and impressions of characters, both old and new, as he meets them for the first time. An intersequel between Final Fantasy IV and The After Years, Final Fantasy IV Interlude, was also released for the PlayStation Portable in 2011 featuring some of the original former's protagonists in another quest.
Final Fantasy IV was a revolutionary role-playing game for the characteristics of the main characters which made them stand out the year the game was released. For the Nintendo DS remake's English voice acting video game publications expressed mixed responses.

Famous quotes containing the words characters, final and/or fantasy:
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Always and last, before the final ring
When all the fireworks blare, begins
A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“It’s the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can’t see.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
