==Gameplay== ''Final Fantasy IV: The After Years'' uses most of the gameplay features of Final Fantasy IV, including [[random encounter]]s and the [[Active Time Battle]] (ATB) system, which it originally popularized. It also retains a number of the graphical enhancements from the [[Wonderswan Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Final Fantasy IV'', while further improving the quality of character sprites to a level comparable with those of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.<ref name="v-jump"/> The battle system uses a new feature called the {{Nihongo|"Age of the Moon"|月齢|Getsurei}}, which reflects the game's [[lunar phase]]s, which change as players rest at inns, with each of the phases altering physical and magical attack powers for both player characters and enemies. Certain rare monsters also only appear during certain lunar phases.<ref name="famitsu-mag"/> The game also introduces a new type of combination attack through the {{Nihongo|"Band System"|バンドシステム|Bando Shisutemu}}, known as a {{Nihongo|"Band"|バンド|Bando}} ability. Similar to the Double and Triple Techs of ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', these allow two or more characters to coordinate separate commands into a single new attack at the cost of MP from all involved. Band abilities are said to be extremely powerful, and there are over 70 different Band abilities in all.<ref name="famitsu-mag"/>
