Final Fantasy IV

The characters have a "super-deformed" touch.

There is also voice acting during cut-scenes.

A new option has been added to the menu, which allows the player to read a conversation between party members and receive advice from them.

It also features many gameplay additions.

The difficulty level has been increased, not only beyond the difficulty of the Western SNES release (which was reduced compared to Japanese original and subsequent ports), but even beyond the original difficulty.

The party members are still bound by class, but they can now hunt for so-called "augments", which can be found or stolen from enemies and which grant the characters additional bonus abilities, resistances, spells that their class would normally not allow, etc.

Beside those major changes, there are also plenty of minor additions.

It is possible to obtain bonus items after exploring every corner and filling 100% of an area map; Rydia, the summoner girl, has a new monster summon who can be customized in various ways; there is a new quest involving the "naming" moogle of the original game, etc.

Final Fantasy IV for Nintendo DS is currently worth €38.06 loose, €25.36 complete in box, and €55.38 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Final Fantasy IV has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Final Fantasy IV, loose is €38.06 and CIB is €25.36 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Final Fantasy IV is currently worth €38.06 loose, versus €28.34 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
