Japan's premiere gaming magazine, Famitsu, recently ran a feature on Square Enix's new Crystal Chronices title for the Nintendo DS, entitled Ring of Fates. Below are several scans featuring new images of the DS title.
Square Enix also shed more light on the game, which is now heavily into the development process. They confirmed Mitsuru Kamiyama, the main programmer of the original GameCube Cystal Chronicles, is directing Ring of Fates, and Toshiyuki Itahana has reprised his role as the character designer. The single player mode features twins named July and Cherinka, while the multiplayer mode allows players to create their own character and battle with parties of four.
According to GamesAreFun's hands-on time with Ring of Fates, the game plays more fluidly than its predecessor, featuring a jump button and the ability to map items and spells to the X button for quick use with only a flick of the touch pad. With impressive graphics for the DS and limited voice acting, Ring of Fates is shaping up to be the quality title we expect Square Enix to deliver.
