Pretty DS Final Fantasy in October

By Robert Purchese Published 25 June, 2010

4 Heroes of Light has co-op adventure.

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light will be released here on 8th October.

This DS game allows groups of friends to adventure together using the wireless connection. And with character classes determined by the hat on your head, swapping roles and trying new approaches can be done quickly and without fuss.

The game's been put together by the Final Fantasy III and IV team, and the beautiful art direction lead by FFXII's Akihiko Yoshida. The video below offers a glimpse of what to expect.

    Definitely picking this up.

  • Incarta #2 2 years ago

    What interests me most is that it looks like long lost final fantasy of old.

    Does anyone know if this has support for wifi, or if it's local only?

    I have yet to really enjoy anything in the Final Fantasy canon* but this looks fantastic. And it's always good to see hand-held co-op stuff.

    * Before I get flamed to a crisp, bear in mind that I got on to the FF scene very late i.e. circa FFXII. Digging in to Chaos Rings right now and hoping that will take off for me.

    I hate the ugly big-headed character design, the concept art looked interesting, Square haven’t made a good game for over decade.

    @rarehobo

    You are soooo terribly wrong here. The likes of FFX and FFTA only date back some 9 years ago. Hardly a decade, then. (For the nitpicking, Dragon Quest VIII was made by Level5)

    So wait, is this turn based co-op? Might as well play hotseat Final Fantasy. >.>

  • Cid #8 2 years ago

    It's co-op play in a turn-based game.

    In any case, it's only a side feature.
