Final Fantasy III gameplay footage
A Final Fantasy III (DS) video -- minus the fluff -- has surfaced on YouTube. Although edited, this clip is 3:44 of gameplay footage: a lil' exploring ... a surprise skirmish ... some more explorin' ... a lethargic giant-tortoise boss battle ... a shiny crystal -- you know, classic Final Fantasy. Sure it's garden variety, but it's a proven formula and looking extremely polished at home on DS.

Also, I'm intrigued by the changes they're making to the story. Hopefully it's up to FF standards.

You're right. Or, you know, they could do both...
I really hope Crono Trigger is on the Wii virtual console.

I would kill for a CT remake, but I doubt the DS could make the whole game 3d.
On an unrelated note, Mischief Makers needs to come to the DS.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the reason it looks so different from Final Fantasy III is... it is. This is tha real Final Fantasy III, the one that did not come out in the US. Our III is the real VI.

I'd go for a Mischief Makers on DS.
Hell, I'd go for a Legend of the Mystical Ninja on DS too.

Hmmm, I'd have to agree with you on this one even though I'd put DS head and shoulders above PSP in terms of library (of course) This remake really doesn't need two screens unless there is something in there that hasn't been revealed.
But, If Camelot made a Golden Sun sequel for DS, I'd take that before FFIII on PSP and not care one bit.

I'd like to see a remake of FF6 on the ds with enhanced graphics, but that's not going to happen. Oh well, FF5 and 6 on the GBA will be sweer :)
I'm still praying for Bangai-O on the ds.

I was expecting bigger command box in battle or something.

FF3 here in the US was Final Fantasy 6 in Japan.

The look of the combat in ths game looks severaly outdated by todays standards, which sucks IMHO. I was hoping that they would at least upgraded this when they made the transition from 2D to 3D.
I am clearly not impressed... but this is me.

The combat, though, looks like it could have used a bit more work. I'd much have preferred the FF7-style "run up and attack" than the old "step forward and swing the sword 20 feet away, yet still hit".
The part where the character looks "up" at the text on the upper screen made me chuckle a bit.

Pheonix Gamma, have you seen the screen shots of the DS Dragon Quest Monsters game? Its full 3D and looks nice. Its reminiscent of DQVIII on PS2. Chrono Trigger could be done in 3D on DS. I'd rather them do it in 2D though...but it can be done.

It's been years since I played it, but it was the first Japanese style RPG I ever played...probably 1993-1994.

Anyway, FF III is starting to look really good! Can't wait till it comes out!

im not sure how accurate this article was, but apparently, Squenix (learned it on this thread and i will now and forever call it that) is gonna release every FF game on the ds up to VII (or prior to.... im not sure) but i've read that they WANT to or have plans to do that, and whether its gonna be in 3d (which i hope) or not (which is ok) is still up for questioning.... no news about a CT remake, but THAT WOULD BE FRICKIN SWEEEEEEEET and as for dragon quest..... meh..... and they NEED to release the MOTHER 1+2 for the GBA out in AMERICA!!!!
