Released On:
10 Jul 2001
Final Fantasy Chronicles brings together two iconic role-playing games from Square's vast library. The collection includes Final Fantasy IV , which has undergone significant changes compared to the Western SNES release known as Final Fantasy II . The game's difficulty level and complexity have been increased, and previously omitted dialogues have been re-translated into the script. Additionally, new animated opening and ending movies have been added.
Chrono Trigger has undergone less significant changes, with its gameplay and story remaining largely intact. However, several anime-style movies have been inserted to enhance the game's visuals. The collection also features a range of extra content, including a "movie theater" mode, unlockable bestiary, dungeon maps, and an art gallery.

How to Play
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.

Using Magic

At the Character Screen, select the character on whom you want to cast the spell.

Choose the spell you want to cast and press the button twice.
Casting Spells on the Entire Party
You can cast certain spells on everyone. At the Character Screen, after you have selected which spell to cast, press the left or right directional button, and a cursor will flash beside each character (press the left or right directional button again to cancel). Press the button to cast the spell.
Rearrange Spells
Rearrange spells as you would items. Consider placing spells you cast frequently near the top of the Magic Menu.
