I heard Lik-sang sucks.. I can highly recommend Videogamesplus.ca, and im sure others can aswell. Its a very good website and I have never had to pay import tax on the games that I have bought of them, unlike play-asia.
Pit-Jr Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 RUMOR: The big rumour is a Final Fantasy XII side-story, exclusive to the Nintendo machine, that will be a full-price release and complete game, and is likely to be available within the next 12 months. Final Fantasy V has also been mentioned, which - according to reports - will be squished together with number VI in the series. The Japanese rumour mill is alive with claims that updates of all pre-32Bit RPG offerings of both the former Square and Enix stables will be made available in re-worked and utterly buyable forms to owners of the DS, though at time of going to press, the big talk is centering around Final Fantasy XII being continued in portable form. FFXII has encountered criticism for its linearity and lack of imagination, with many fans expecting a more complete experience. It would seem that Square Enix is set to expand much of its franchise on a format that has surpassed all expectations. source Spong (yeah i know...) Ok so its a Spong rumor but its interesting, particularly the part i bolded because it suggests remakes of all 8/16-bit Final Fantasies AND Dragon Quests Not far-fetched considering the huge sales of FFIII plus theyre gonna need funding for developing those expensive PS3 games

Jamba Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah and the response to FF3 can't go unnoticed can it? It must have been pretty hard to develop in some ways but now that they have an engine why not? FF7 isn't out of the question either as many have claimed that FF3 on DS has better graphics. But hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's wait until we see if S-E shaft us with FF:CC or not...
McMad Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 FF7 isn't out of the question either as many have claimed that FF3 on DS has better graphics. If they were to do it thought they probably have to cut the majority of FMVs out of the game which would probably ruin the experience.
pedrocasilva Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 If they were to do it thought they probably have to cut the majority of FMVs out of the game which would probably ruin the experience.Resident Evil 2 was 2 CD's on PSone (2x700=1,4 GB) and was released on N64 with 64 MB, with FMV's included... Video compression has come a long way since then though, I doubt a direct port with re-encoded video would take more than 256 MB with FMV's, still the biggest DS cartridge ever, but it can be made. (FF7 striped out of FMV's and compressed takes about 100 MB, for the 2 CD's) If they were to "remake" it from ground, they might manage to stay in the 128 MB limit (with FMV).
Advance Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Well, I think if they replace some fmv's for ingame cut-scenes, besides I know that they combined things like a lift going up with a fmv, and with the different resolution, it will proballly fit on a ds cardridge.
demonmike04 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Have they said anything about Final Fantasy VI extra features? It was announced for a november release in japan a short while ago..
Calza Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Have they said anything about Final Fantasy VI extra features? It was announced for a november release in japan a short while ago.. It will most likely be added dungeons, i doubt any real extras will be put it to it.
demonmike04 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 It will most likely be added dungeons, i doubt any real extras will be put it to it. An extra is an extra, so far the best one i've seen is Soul of rebirth in FFII, great plot extention.
DiemetriX Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Square Enix has announced a Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings for the DS. Little else is known about the title, but it's expected that more will be known during the Tokyo Games Show. Source: http://ds.ign.com/articles/732/732509p1.html
Nintendork Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 The Enix influence on character design is for the worse I think.. I heard that after the Enix merger the Square character designer walked out because they were not working as a team. Thus BlueDragon has a all star line up of staff.
khilafah Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 good video http://www.jeux-france.com/downloads6682_video-final-fantasy-iii.html
Jamba Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Looking forward to this. Should be getting US reviews soon and wont be long til ill be importing.
The-Ironflame Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Final Fantasy 5 for GBA is out soon in the US aswell Monday infact.
Nintendork Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Apparently the bottom screen is going to be turned off in gameplay because the graphics chips are both used to power the top screen. The touch pad will merely be used for control. Seems a shame to me.. but the graphics are nice. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles preview (probably posted) http://youtube.com/watch?v=eGZ17Ito4a0
The-Ironflame Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Final Fantasy V Advance Official site up: http://ffv.nintendo.com/launch/
Hellfire Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 1up gave the game a 8/10, considering it was reviewed by resident idiot Parish and it's a remake of an old, i'ts a pretty damn good score.
The-Ironflame Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Actually it got a massive 9/10. Compared to IV though this is a full remake, a bit like what they did with III but obviously they didn't remake V in full 3D. IV was mostly a Wonderswan port+. I must say I'm temped but with FF 3 out so soon I don't know. From the Video footage from 5 the battle theme isn't as good as 4 or 6.
