GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation game console according to its instruction manual. Make sure the power is off before inserting or removing a compact disc.
Insert the FINAL FANTASY IV disc into your PlayStation game console and close the disc cover. Insert game controllers and turn the power on.
A computer graphics (CG) movie will begin playing. After the CG movie ends, the Title Screen will appear.
•
If the START button or button is pressed during the movie, the movie will end immediately.
•
Press the button to access the Load Screen.
STARTING A NEW GAME
At the Load Screen, select "New Game." To "select" something means to select it using the directional buttons, then press the button to confirm your selection.
CONTINUING A GAME FROM SAVE DATA
Select a memory card containing FINAL FANTASY IV save data from the Load Screen to access the File Screen. Select the save from which you wish to continue.
SAVING THE GAME
Saving frequently is important when playing a role-playing game (RPG). In FINAL FANTASY IV, there are two methods of saving, so take advantage of them.
Saving onto Memory Cards
This is the standard method to save your game. On the World Map or at a save point, use the Main Menu to access the Save Menu. Select the memory card, then the save block you wish to save onto.
Using a Memo File
This method allows you to save your game temporarily onto the PlayStation game console. On the World Map or at a save point, use the Save command in the Main Menu to access the Save Menu, then select Memo to save your game.
There is only room for one Memo File. Since the Memo save is instantaneous, unlike the more time-consuming standard memory card save system, you can use it to progress through the game with minimal interruption.
SOFT RESET
To continue from the Memo File, execute Soft Reset (by pressing the L1, L2, R1, R2, START, and SELECT buttons simultaneously). Then press the button at the Title Screen and select Memo.
The Memo File is different from a normal Save File. If the power is turned off or the RESET button is pressed, it will be deleted. However, being annihilated in battle, like soft resetting, will not delete the Memo File.
CHANGING THE CHARACTERS' NAMES
In FINAL FANTASY IV, you may change character names according to your preference during the game. If you wish to change the characters' names, talk to "Namingway," who can be found in any town.
Namingway will ask you which character's name you wish to change.
THE MAIN MENU
While roaming the Field and the World Map, you can open the Main Menu at any time by pressing the button. Using this menu effectively is one of the keys to completing the game.
