A modified version of the game was released for the Super Famicom in Japan in 1991 under the name Final Fantasy IV Easytype. While the game retained the storyline, graphics, and sound of the original game, the game engine had been modified so as to make the game substantially simpler, and the finished product was marketed at "beginning" gamers. Though a few changes were made, this version of the game was ultimately translated into English by Square's North American subsidiary SquareSoft, where, because the previous two installments of the Final Fantasy series had not been released to North American audience, it was released under the title Final Fantasy II. The PlayStation rerelease of the game (which was derived from the original version of the game) was retranslated and rereleased in North America as part of Final Fantasy Chronicles under the title Final Fantasy IV (where it was packaged with Chrono Trigger). The game did not receive an official European release until the release of the PAL version of Final Fantasy Anthology for the PlayStation in 2002 (where it was packaged with Final Fantasy V). The game is scheduled to be ported to the GameBoy Advance platform, with a tentative release date of December 12, 2005 in North America.
