So soon, you ask? Yes indeed. It looks like FFIV DS will slip onto shelves at the tail end of 2007, according to a new magazine scan from Japan's V-Jump magazine. The second scan also show off more in-game battles and some gorgeous, though not entirely new, CG renders of a few of the game's main characters.
There are also a few new characters that appear to be a disturbing hybrid of the beloved Final Fantasy mainstays, the Moogles, and the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and seem to have some sort of limited integration into the battle system. What's their purpose? Bringing Cecil and company refreshments or pocky, perhaps?
With a late December release in Japan, US gamers can hopefully look forward to getting their hands on Final Fantasy IV yet again sometime in early 2008.
