Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is an episodic role-playing video game co-developed by Matrix Software and Square Enix, as the sequel to the 1991 title Final Fantasy IV. Originally released in Japan as a mobile game in 2008, an enhanced WiiWare port of the title was released in North America, Europe and Japan in 2009. In 2011, the game was bundled with Final Fantasy IV as the PlayStation Portable compilation Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, which also included a new game; Final Fantasy IV: Interlude, which served as a bridge between the original game and The After Years. Using the same style as the Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy IV, this game was remade for the Android and iOS platforms.
Its initial mobile release in 2008 for Japanese feature phone users were under the title Final Fantasy IV the After: Tsuki no Kikan (ファイナルファンタジーIV ジ・アフター -月の帰還- Fainaru Fantajī Fō Ji Afutā -Tsuki no Kikan-?, lit. "Final Fantasy IV the After: Return of the Moon"). The Japanese WiiWare port and PlayStation Portable compilation Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection later adapted the Western title, renaming the game to Final Fantasy IV the After Years: Tsuki no Kikan (ファイナルファンタジーIV ジ・アフターイヤーズ -月の帰還- Fainaru Fantajī Fō Ji Afutā Iyāzu -Tsuki no Kikan-?).
