Final Fantasy IV remake for DS

General Kaliero sent me a link to a Japanese site with news of a rumor that FFIV was going to be remade for the DS.

Found two articles today confirming the rumor, as well as pics of it.

Pretty awesome, I'd say. And I'm surprised no one posted about it before me 😛

This thread gave me an erection.

That's good for you, but do we really need to know about your personal fetishes?

On topic, I like the visual design. About just a bit less cartoony than IIIDS.

I saw it over at www.the-magicbox.com last week-ish...

Meh.

Needs to be Chrono Trigger.

Still kinda cool, though.

I'm more excited about the newly announced Tactics Advance 2.

Who knows, it sounds like they opened a division devoted to remakes... they might give VI the 3D DS treatment and yeah, hopefully Chrono Trigger along the way...

oh god please yes... I'd buy a DS again just for that ><

I personally think 5, and 6 will be remade as well, because with 1 & 2 being on PSP for the 20 year anniversary this year. I see no reason why the other two classics won't be remade.

My 15 minutes to edit ran out.

(scroll down a bit)

It looks...really pretty. DS game? Wouldn't know it by watching that.

Also it appears it's been in the works for some time before it was confirmed as it says "Coming 2007" at the end. If it's out in Japan by the end of 2007, then it should be out in the US by this time next year.

And the girl (who I am assuming to be Rosa) sounds very familiar to me. Need to know who that voice actor is...

My favorite game of all time being remade for the Nintendo DS!!!! Christmas has come early!!
💃 💃 💃 💃

The last FF I played was way back in the days of my PS1. I think it was FF VII.

Anywhoo....I got a shiny new DS lite.

Is this game good for a FF noob like me?

Yeah, IV was the first RPG I ever played.

www.destructoid.com has an all CGI trailer for the game.

I don't think it would have killed you to link directly to the page with the video.

And it's the same as the video I posted, anyway.

I agree with that dude. We don't need 13 Final Fantasy XIII spin offs. Start remake on VI!!! I want to hear Kefka's laugh again!!

But any who, it said a lot of the script was removed from the orginal release of IV and that this game will add that script back into it. That may add a few hours of gameplay.

Actually yes, because it's the first one that really had the modern idea of what we think of with FF- long term plot with characters dropping in/out of the group, focussing on their feelings/relationships- and has pre-set classes so you don't need to be getting into the mechanics of the job system.

Assuming all that stays intact.

Oh-Oooh!!!! I like that!

Basic and simple. 😄

Yes it's a great starting rpg. Very easy to get into.
