Final Fantasy Gaiden out in Japan this October

Today, Square Enix announced the release date for its original multiplayer DS
Final Fantasy title,
Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden. The Matrix Software-developed RPG will be out October 29, at a Square Enix Tax-laden price of ¥5,980 ($62) -- the same price at which
Dragon Quest IX launched.
Speaking of
Dragon Quest IX, this new game seems pretty well targeted at the
Dragon Quest audience. We doubt it's a coincidence that Square Enix is releasing a streamlined, multiplayer version of its
other major RPG franchise on DS three months after the release of
DQIX. Check out some lovely new screens at
GAME Watch.
