First we were teased about a Square Enix product relating to "bahamut," and then we confirmed that Blood of Bahamut is a new DS RPG in the works. Now we have the first teaser trailer from this game.
In Blood of Bahamut, it seems that the people of the world have built cities on the backs of massive sleeping beasts. They've now awakened, and you play as one of the residents of this now moving city.
This short trailer gives us just a little taste of the game play. It looks like you'll actually be going head to head with these awakened beasts -- lazer eyes and all. You'll see that one beast lobs a big boulder toward the player, and the player has to slash it out of the way. Eventually, the player runs up the beast's arm, slashing away, knocking up hit point counts into the sky until the beast's arm falls off. It's like Shadow of the Colossus meets Final Fantasy. Kind of.
Sounds good to me! What about you?

can't wait to see more SHadow of the Final Fantasy
Nevertheless, it's a great idea.
