Article from 1up

Square Enix president Youichi Wada revealed some of their plans for the DS recently at the Nintendo DS Conference 2005 event in Japan. Some of the more interesting news is as follows...

QUOTE

Wada then went on to talk about Final Fantasy III for the DS. Planned for a winter 2006 release, the characters, field, and other objects will all be rendered in complete 3D polygons rather than the sprites of the original. The team is hard at work on making sure the game has a fresh appearance but at the same time, they want to be careful not to ruin the appeal of the original.

Before he left the stage, Wada mentioned that after the release of the upcoming Final Fantasy IV for GBA, FFV and FFVI will be following the tradition and appearing on the GBA. He promised that FF games will never just be straight ports, but rather will always contain new elements. We're definitely interested in seeing how these FF games are coming along and how Square Enix's first basketball game turns out...so hopefully there will be a media update soon.

And considering that Final Fantasy III never had an "official" english version, it would be cool to try the new one out. (but make sure to play the original translated using an emulator shhh.) -------------------- <center> "You Need The D? Then You Need Me!"
