New Final Fantasy DS game revealed News
DS News by Robert Purchese
Square Enix is working on a brand new and original Final Fantasy game for DS that will be released in Japan this autumn.
Japanese magazine Weekly Jump got the jump on the announcement, according to a translation by IGN - spoiling a Square Enix teaser site countdown that now ticks on in vain.
Dubbed Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden (translated from Hikari no Yon Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden), the game follows a 14-year old boy whose birthday is ruined when the King summons him to rescue his daughter from a witch.
His adventure plays out in typical party-of-four, plenty-of-menus fashion - although one where mana (or magic) points have been replaced by a Charge command.
Customisation will play a more important role, as equipment changes are reflected by the appearance of your character - a mechanic JRPGs usually forego.
FFXII and FF Tactics character designer Akihiro Yoshida will work on the game.
There's no word on release plans for Europe.

Chibi style is fine as I loved Final Fantasy IX, cel shaded is ok too expecially since it's the DS anyway. What I don't like is the sound of the plot, sounds very much in the vein of Tactics Advance.
Oh well, hopefully 光の四戦士 will have hidden depths. Especially since the title is presumably a reference to the first Final Fantasy.

The Microsoft viral sites were brilliant.. I love Bees and Our Colony were really great, they kept people guessing and gave rewards for doing so, it was a lot of fun. These basic countdowns are getting really old (especially when we're counting down for countdowns!). But yeah, the fact they keep getting leaked ahead of time makes them totally pointless. Announce the game or don't, I don't care about a clock.
I'm also a little tired of seeing such young main characters.. but assuming this game is actually co-op, I'll be interested. The Crystal Chronicles games are loot grinding awesomeness, a more traditional FF version of that could be pretty cool. |
