  • I'm not a full on FF fanboy so I need some clarity here: This is going to be a redo of the Japanese FFIII, not the FFIII SNES game that is actually FFVI right?

    xredmenacex, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Correct, this is a remake of FFIII for the Famicom that never came out here. Kefka is not in the game, the onion kids are.

    Jay, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Close one, I was just uploading this :)

  • This is most definitely from Jump.

    Jay, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • *gasp* new scan! This game looks sweeeet, even better than TOT! lol@shonen jump guy

  • ff3 does look amazing but not better then tot noway

    stylusx, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • This is great news but killing people waiting for good RPG's. These RPG's probably won't show up int he states for at least a few months past their Japanese release date. Oh I agree with flipping heck, I'm really confused what's true and not.

    NPC, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • FF3 definately look better that TOT and i thought TOT was awesome lol Square never let you down.

    rockamaniac, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • hmmm. you think the overworld will be 3D too? i couldn't really tell from the scan.

    curlyhairboy, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Yes, but the camera will be further back.

    Jay, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Cant stop looking at the new screens xD Looks so.. sweet! :D @curlyhairboy: Can´t tell for sure, but it looks 3D to me.

    Sildorian, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Cant wait. Does anyone think itl be bigger than Metroid Prime Hunters?

    sawyer, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • @ sawyer. Metroid Prime was on a 128mb(1 gigBIT) catridge.. which is the highest Nintendo DS Capacity catridge however Nintendo has said it is possible to extend this to as high as Nintendo or the a 3rd party would want.. but that will Cost Alot and higher costs would mean higher prices for the game. Tony Hawks AS was on a 64mb catridge to reduce costs so u can imagine how expensive the catridges are. Big companies like Nintendo and Square can afford higher cause they know the software will sell like Hot Cakes wherelse the company behind Tony hawks had to do a gamble so to say cause they didnt know how much it would sell on the DS so went for the cheaper option. ETA: Anyone see the Battle screens they dont have a Battle Menu.. i think maybe we attack with the stylus..

    rockamaniac, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • We probably choose the attacks/magic on the bottom screen - seems like the first 3D proper FF game on a Nintendo system. (This is Ben Ds-x2 by the way).

    rocketexe, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • tot battle system is so much superior comepare to ff game. as well as storyline are strong enough well never play ps 1 only nintendo 1.

    stylusx, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • I guess its a matter of opinion then.. i think Final Fantasy has a much deeper and electriyfing storyline with heart breaking twists and turns.. while the Tales of series has good storyline but just not as good as Final Fantasy series... I prefer the FF battle system too.. lol..

    rockamaniac, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • sounds sweet, i want it for offline mostly but if its online ALL the better =)

    darkshadow61, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • OMG !!! YES YES YES!!! CANNOT.WAIT.OH.GOD *DIES*

    rockamaniac, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • This online stuff really destroys any spare time you have doesn't it.

    Andrew, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FINALY HOPE IT TRUE :S i love rumor :D can't get any better :) was ff3 short? on the nes? hope not cos i want this remake rpg to be a long and hard 1

    stylusx, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Hey Andrew/Dennis etc. It's Ben here, my PC has kinda blown up + needing new power supply. So won't be online for a while. And this is okay news, see how it turns out. And whats with everyone thinking that a game will be awesome if it's online (for DS/Rev).

    rocketexe, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Too bad Ben. Get back soon! We'll need your help during E3 ;)

    Dennis, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Ben, terrible time for it to go.

    Andrew, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Im a bit confused with this Wi-Fi malarchy, When people mention Wifi it could mean either online or offline. Like Tales of the Tempest has WiFi connection but its not an online game. Argh!

    flipping_heck, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • You are right it does need some clearing up.

    Andrew, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • no 1 said n e thing about online being good it just 1 :O

    stylusx, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • That sounds pretty awesome.

    ceasama, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Great news for the NFWC support.

    Dinamidanteâ„¢, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • When they say "Nintendo's WiFi Connection" or just "WiFi", they mean it is online. When they say "wireless" that means offline.

    zaraf, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • thats good but i think they should make another final fantasy tactics and make that online.Anyway lets hope its true

    swifttiger, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • If it's true, w00t. Personally I guess this is yet another hoax

    yakutatazu, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • wouldn't it be great if they just made command and conqeur online? ^^

    stylusx, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Ah! rumors, the creator and destroyer of dreams. The "rumor" only stated that they will "utilize" wi-fi. Wi-fi just mean it is capable of connecting to wireless network, not necessarily mean the game will be on-line. I truely hope they don't use wi-fi for only trade items and versus mode. Besides, I have Shonen Jump issue 18, for 2006-4-17, I have seem no such news. Unless my lack of ability in reading Japanese have somehow effected my understanding of the magazine's articles.

    LeSomeGuy, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • flipping_heck, you're very confused, Tales of the Tempest is online for select missions.

    Jay, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • The FFIII info. is definitely suppose to be in the next Jump. Not all Famitsu scores are out yet, I'll report them when they are all leaked.
