Description:
Final Fantasy IV - Ultima is a ‘deluxe’ version of Final Fantasy II for the SNES. FF2US always felt somewhat lacking and incomplete but full of potential. This hack rectifies that by adding a ton of additions to the base game while keeping the majority of the main story intact and the feel of FF2US the same.
List of features, additions and changes:
- 32 New Weapons! Including Ultima Weapon!
- 25 New Spells! Also revamped existing spells!
- 25 New Bosses!!
- New Enemy Graphics!! (HUGE thanks to chillyfeez!)
- New Areas! New Side Quests!
- New Events! New Endgame Scenarios!!
- New Equipment Screen with DETAILED buffs and stats!!
- New attack/swing/spell animations!
- New weapon graphics!! New sound effects!
- New maps, new areas and new edits to overworld maps!
- New events! New enemies!! Sprint with the Y button!!
- New commands for characters. New Armors and Gears!
- Revamped shops/equipment and balanced their progression.
- Dark Knight Cecil now dual-wields and is 2-handed!!
- Edge is now buffed offensively! Stealing is also buffed!
- Rydia has also been buffed(slightly). It’s a surprise!
- Cecil has been buffed as a tank.
- Rosa can use more White Mage combative gears.
- Kain has new offensive buffing spells at end-game and new commands as he rejoins the team.
- Rare items and summons now drop much easier! This hack is designed as a ‘play-through’ without grinding.

- Useless finds now replaced with good items or equipment!

Nothing Spoony About This
Reviewed By: Karsh Highwind on 11 Feb 2020Long time fan of FFIV, likely one of the RPG’s I’ve beaten most in my gaming career. This mod fundamentally improves all aspects of the game without question. The characters all have more specialized roles, weapons/armors are vital to your success and gone are the days of just holding down the attack button with everyone to just brute force your way through the fights.
FFIV - Ultima let’s you think encounters through trial and error, figuring out the best way to approach each area/boss.
There’s plenty of new things to do in the game, and I highly recommend that you take the time to explore…Exploration of the world, old maps you know, and even some new ones you don’t, tend to be filled with new goodies that will pleasantly surprise you!
If you wanted to see what FFIV could have been…This is the mod for you.
