Square Enix's port of Final Fantasy III to the Nintendo DS, one of the few entries in the series previously unreleased outside of Japan, will take advantage of the DS's unique abilities. The game will be in what has come to be called "pseudo-3D;" the camera can't be rotated in battle or in the field, but it will be possible to zoom in and out. Also, in buildings, the camera will be rotatable.
FFIII's characters will also receive more attention than in the original to make their personalities a more important part of the game. The ever-popular job system will also be evenly balanced.
Hiromichi Tanaka, the game's executive producer, made it clear that it is his wish the make the game playable solely with the use of the DS's stylus. The game will also take advantage of the DS's Wi-Fi capabilities, though only outside the main quest. Wireless co-op, anyone? We can only hope.
EoFF will provide more information as soon as it becomes available.
