==Development== The official developer blog (maintained by producer Tomoya Asano) has outlined several key features of the remake. As in the original, players can reform their party with whomever they choose as party leader. When the player enters the menu, the party leader will now appear on the bottom screen where the player can read their thoughts about what is happening in the story at that time (the development team suggests players check this feature often for humorous anecdotes).<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://ff4developers.cocolog-nifty.com/column/2007/09/post_2447.html | title=Official Blog: Party Leader Thoughts | date=2007-09-19 | accessdate=2007-09-19 | publisher=Square Enix}}</ref> Other developer blog entries have focused on the art and programming of the game. According to the art director, Matrix tried to make each location of the game feel unique. For example, the desert kingdom of Damcyan has taken on a Middle-Eastern flair, Fabul has been given a [[China|Chinese]] feeling, and Eblan has been given the feeling of a Ninja residence, which was not possible in the Super Famicom edition due to limited data capacity.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://ff4developers.cocolog-nifty.com/column/2007/10/post_17ec.html | title=Official Blog: Art Direction | date=2007-10-12 | accessdate=2007-10-12 | publisher=Square Enix}}</ref> Final Fantasy IV displays more characters and enemies on screen during battle compared to ''Final Fantasy III'', which required the modeling team to reduce the number of polygons per character<ref name="BlogProgramming">{{Cite web | url=http://ff4developers.cocolog-nifty.com/column/2007/10/post_0b00.html | title=Official Blog: Programming | date=2007-10-27 | accessdate=2007-10-27 | publisher=Square Enix}}</ref> The main programmer also suggests that the game is much larger than ''Final Fantasy III'' from a data standpoint, and compressing all the data to fit on a 1 [[GiB]] ROM was difficult largely due to the voice audio data.<ref name="BlogProgramming"/>
