Keeping up with Square-Enix's avalanche of Final Fantasy development in the last few years has been a handful, but very exciting for the RPG gamer. This fresh paella of scans comes from the latest Shonen Jump. Each page features one of the three upcoming games you'll never finish and wish you did: the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV on the DS, the new and mysterious Dissidia PSP (melee?) game, and the XII spinoff title respectively. JeuxFrance notes that International Zodiac Job System "will make it possible to each character to have his own grid of licence and to choose among 12 jobs available." That should keep us busy.
Warning: Hardcore FF fans will recognize the famous Cecil and Rosa tower scene and will immediately s**t their pants. Of the batch, I'm personally most excited about this title. It appears they've greatly improved on the III engine, presuming it will play similarly. Like somebody said on GAF, I can't believe I'm excited to buy this game again FOR THE FOURTH TIME. G'aaah!
We also finally see Nomura's take on Kuja and Zidane. Do you approve?

Even though I still haven't finished it on the GBA, I think I lost it.
I'm tired of remakes, until they bring them to the 360 for FF Achievements. And then, I really only want them to remake FF9, even though it's already perfect.
III, IV, Chocobo Tales, Ring of Fates, Tactics A2, Revanent Wings...
6 ff games for the ds? isn't this kinda overkill on the whole final fantasy ds thing or the name as a whole?
I know it's the same exact game I've played countless times before... but I can't help but get a little misty-eyed just seeing those 3D screens. CecilRosaKainRydia FTW!
its Re-re_re+re-make... (I think i missed one more Re)
I can make out the kana, but for the life of me I can't think of any character it could possibly sound like. >_<;
Ring of Fates is "wait and see'
FFIV DS is OMFNG PLZ GIEV NAO!!
I'm a hypocrite, I've been bashing ff remakes since the remakes on the psone. However FFIV and FFVI remakes on the DS are definitely something I want to see. Seeing that Square has given up on making good new games, they might as well remake their good games, that in all honesty many young'uns haven't played. Who doesn't want to see a chrono trigger, Romancing Saga 3, Secret of Mana, Bahamut Lagoon? I know I do. Rereleases are stupid like what you saw on the psone and the gba releases of the ff games. I'm for remakes if they did what they did to ff3, which is what I call a true remake. From what i see from FFIV, i'm completely for it. I will also buy ffVI if they did the same thing
@Pistolaero
your asking for too much there... even if Square wasn't making like a dozen different games, games for the next-gen systems would just plain cost too much to make; not to emntion how long it would take to make them... i mean, the remakes would probably not seal as well as games like FF13 will, so they may not churn enough of a profit to make it worth while... i think this why they haven't made the FFVII remake many fans have been dying for, it still be a bit too costly in order to make the game and hope to make a good profit... given a couple of years and we may see a PS2 remake
DS however, has a grpahic level about that of the PS1... games on that level in this day and age are not nearly as costly or time consuming to make. So Square can turst that the games will sell enough to cover those costs... hopefully it will not be too long until they can do the same on PS2 level graphics... I'm kinda guessing that FFVI will be next to get the FF3 treatment, though i would personally wan to see it done in a more serious style like that of FFVIII... or even more preferable, Being remade for PS2 (though that might be too costly)... not really a big fan of that super deformed style...
But all I'm saying is they better make with the Chrono action(new one, remake, i don't care) soon.
One thing that is a little weird though - why the fuck is Cecil so skinny? Why must every FF made for Nintendo be chibi? FFIV is epic and dark and huge dammit.
My guess... Square thinks Nintendo=kiddie and Sony=mature
It's clear when you look at all of Square's track recond ever since Sony showed up...
nintendo- Revelent Wings, FF3, FF4, FFTA, FFTA2, Chocobo tales, Cystal Cronicles, KH:COM
Sony- FFVII-XIII, Crisis core, FFTactics, Dissidia, Dirge of Cerebus, kingdom hearts 1 and 2
Seriously, everything done for Nintendo is given a "kiddie" treatment... they're either much more kid friendly games or atleast done in a style that appeals a bit more to a younger generation (chibi)... where as everything done for Sony is made in a style that is much more darker and serious, something that appeals to an older generation...
This why i fear that If either FF4 or 6 were done in a serious style, they would probably wind up on the PSP instead of DS (even though i think the DS could handle FF8 quality graphics)... apparently, square is part of the crowd that thinks nintnedo is more of a kid's system.
