For old school gaming geeks, and Final Fantasy fans, this has to be the most anticipated title of the year. This is the one Final Fantasy title that has never been translated and released outside of Asia. It was the first Final Fantasy to feature the job changing system that has been a large part of the series since, even in recent console titles such as X-2 and the MMORPG. It was originally released for the Famicon (Nintendo Family Computer, known as the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES in North America) in 1990.
This spring Square Co., Ltd. announced that it would be receiving an enhanced remake for the Nintendo DS portable game system with an update to 3D graphics that would retain a visual design true to the original. It is slated for an August 2006 release in Japan, and an October 2006 release in North America.
The composer of the original versions musical score, Nobuo Uematsu, is supervising the arrangement of the music and creating a new main orchestral theme.- There is a new artist, Akihiko Yoshida, revamping the character designs.
- Some rumors seem to confirm some changes and re-balancing being done to the job system, as well as the inclusion of some new abilities and a new job class.
Since E3 there has been a slew of new information, game play previews, and even an official trailer. This one looks like a winner.
