Final Fantasy IV is an enhanced remake of the original Final Fantasy IV released in 1991. It is set to be released for the Nintendo DS as part of the campaign for Final Fantasy series 20th anniversary. The game will be developed by Matrix Software, the same team responsible for the Final Fantasy III remake, and will be supervised by members of the original development team: Takashi Tokita will serve as executive producer, Tomoya Asano as producer, Hiroyuki It as battle designer. Animator Yoshinori Kanada will storyboard the new cutscenes.
According to executive producer Takashi Tokita (scenario writer of the original release), 3/4 of the original script had been cut from Super Famicom original release, but this lost material will be reworked into the remake, while some new events will also be added. The player will have the possibility to use the Nintendo DS stylus to move around similarly to the Final Fantasy III remake, while some minigames will require this usage of the stylus. Additionally, the developers are currently working on a feature which should add replayability to the game, although it will not necessarily be a New Game Plus feature. In June 2007, Square Enix will hold a casting for a vocalist to sing a version of Final Fantasy IV's "Theme of Love" rearranged by Nobuo Uematsu.
