It was many moons ago that Square Enix announced Final Fanatasy III, previously unreleased outside of Japan, would get the DS treatment. They never elaborated on what, exactly, the port would contain--until now. It's going to be more like a full-blown remake, as FFIII is being re-created from the ground up in 3D exclusively for the Nintendo DS. To keep the game true to its roots, Square Enix is bringing in some of the original creators of the title to help supervise the project.
Confirming industry suspicions that have been raised on account of the "Final Fantasy Port Project," Square Enix revealed that, following the release of FFIV for the GBA, installments V and VI would receive the same treatment. Both games will feature added content like IV and will be available for the GBA sometime in the not-too-distant future.
