Description

This is a re-release of two classic RPGs by Squaresoft: Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger, both of which first appeared on the SNES.

The most important change in this release was made to "Final Fantasy IV". The difficulty level and the complexity of gameplay were raised to match the original Japanese version (unlike the "simplified" US SNES release, erroneously entitled "Final Fantasy II"). The game also got a new translation. In addition, there are CG videos in the beginning and in the end of the game.

"Chrono Trigger" underwent less changes. Gameplay and story remain the same, but some animé-style sequences were added, and there are some extras available (music tracks, viewing the animé movies, etc.).
