NEW FF:CC

Two for Wii, none for you!

We just got back from the Square-Enix conference, and there is tons of news to report. In addition to the already annouced games, Square blew the lid off some secret titles in development for various Nintendo consoles.

First off, Dragon Quest will be making it's way to the Nintendo Wii with the title "Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen & The Tower of Mirrors." The trailer showed a person running through the woods with a Wii controller, slashing at bad guys. No gameplay footage was shown. However, the game is confirmed to be a launch title for the Wii.

They also showed off two new Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles games. The first, subtitled "Ring of Fates" is a game for the Nintendo DS. While Square confirmed that the game will have multiplayer support, there was no mention of whether or not it would support Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. What's very interesting is that there did not appear to be a "bucket" (the crystal that created the space all characters had to remain within) in the game.

The other Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles game was titled "The Crystal Bearers" and is in development for the Wii. It was described as "a fusion of graphics and style." No gameplay footage was shown, but the CGI trailer showed a lot of airships.

As for other games, a little was revealed about Children of Mana for the Nintendo DS. The game includes a new "ricochet" system which applies Newton's 3rd Law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

and even a dragon quest for the Wii!

but a new FF:CC for DS and one for the Wii, hurrah!

I'd be more interested in the Children of Mana for DS, but that's good news.

well if you think about it, often in the game you'd charge up then move a targeting circle, now the Wiimote can just point to the spot to attack, I think that's mainly how it's going to work, also point and maneuver menus.

Personally I think the Wii version looks awesome and that it actually has some kind of story this time around, but I'm still not 100% sure if I'll get a Wii.

Awesome, Crystal Chronicles 1 was fun to play with friends... I don't think the storyline was the point, it was more the team gameplay... So this next one should be cool!

and a list of tactical skills.... instead of one per weapon.

Yes! I job system would be perfect, and make the game more enjoyable... And make your character more unique!

I might like this news once i play with friends but rite now i just am going to say why!!!! I need something more conventionial to the FF formula. In most cases i would rather play the downloaded FF games rather than buy this one.

Although i love the thought of the wii controler. I'm going to have to buy a NES and duck hunt to practice pointing a gun as i usually fail at the arcade/laser tag.

There was no video playing when they talked about FFIII, Gamespot are the one who added this video.

I know that the style is odd for a numbered Final Fantasy game, but it indeed is Final Fantasy 3. Looky here: http://media.ds.ign.com/media/707/707320/vids_1.html

As for the news, that's quite good. I think I'm the only person who like FF:CC for the GCN. I'm looking forward to the Wii Version. :holmes:

It was playing on the big screen behind the guy talking, but you're right GameSpot did replace the video of the conference with direct footage.

No they are entirely different games, they just use a similar engine.

Here's more footage of FFIII from YouTube.

You can tell they are different if you look at things like the characters and setting as well as the battle system.

Awesome. New FF:CC. I can't wait. I liked the original a little. But I really don't like the controller... how am I going to cast magic with it?
