Apparently what we know as Final Fantasy IV was originally going to be Final Fantasy V for the super famicon. the above picture is a mock up of what Final Fantasy IV for the nes would most likely have looked like in the beta stages had it gotten past the drawing board. So yes, there is a lost final fantasy game, but only in concept because it never made it past a concept sheet and into a playable beta.

Thank you Shadowdorothy! I’m going to add your description in the page :)
I wish Final Fantasy IV was a beta for Super Famicom only. If you look for Final Fantasy IV Beta, I’ll be happy to see it.
Sakaguchi in a recent interview stated that the idea of the game being only a mock-up isn’t true. NES FFIV was 80% complete before being cancelled.
