Square Enix's Final Fantasy III for the DS Logo - Image 1Finally, Final Fantasy III for the Nintendo DS now has a release date for Europe. This game by Square Enix is not just a port of the original (how many fans would be disappointed if that were the case), but a remake of the game. Hiromichi Tanaka, Director and Executive Producer of Final Fantasy III, had this to say about the game:

FINAL FANTASY III has been made anew on the Nintendo DS platform, including new graphics in 3D, rebalanced jobs, and brand new characterisation for the four young heroes. We hope that not only FINAL FANTASY fans, but a wide variety of players in Europe, enjoy the new FINAL FANTASY III.


So what can we expect from this iteration of Final Fantasy. The storyline is an FF classic: The land your character inhabits was protected by the crystals of light. This all changed when an earthquake pulled the crystals into the earth, upsetting the world’s fragile balance. In this time of darkness, the people found hope in a Gulgan prophecy: four souls blessed with the light shall once again restore balance to the world.

Near the small village of Ur, fate guides Luneth (your initial character) to a sentient crystal. As the light of the crystal fades, Luneth embarks on a journey to seek three others who will fulfil the prophesy.

In addition to this interesting storyline, the game itself has features that will appeal to FF fans everywhere.

Features:
  • The missing link in the evolution of Final Fantasy is unveiled.
  • A job-changing system that allows for more than 279,000 party variations
  • The Touch Screen interface can be used to explore dungeons, dispatch foes and cast spells.
  • A complete visual overhaul with 3D graphics
  • Use both DS Wireless Communications and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to access the Mognet and communicate with other players as well as NPCs to uncover hidden dungeons, quests and items
  • Character designer Akihiko Yoshida (from Final Fantasy XII) lends his talents by designing the four main character
The game will be released May 4, 2007 in Europe and other PAL territories.
