Final Fantasy III DS dated

***wraggster*** · August 22nd, 2006, 17:47

The Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy III is due out in the USA on November 14th, Square Enix has announced.

FFIII has never been localised for Western audiences, so there's lots of hype surrounding this one - not least because Square Enix has redone it with 3D visuals.

The hope is that like the Westernised Final Fantasies we did get - particularly FFII (IV in Japan) and FFIII (VI in Japan) - this will be a bit of a gem.

It's due out in Japan this week, and reviews over there have been pretty decent - with Famitsu giving it 34/40.

Heh, 34 in Famitsu is quite a bit more than pretty decent.

I have a feeling that all it's going to be is a translation of the game itself.
This game is the BOMB though. The intro title/credits are the best I've seen on a DS game and it's as close to having FFVII on the DS as you'll get. The graphics are great and the battles are similiar to the old-school system with updated graphics. The music is almost EXACTLY the same yet updated as well with better instruments.
