Let it be a rumor SE! Just let it be a rumor!

A 3D version of the game would be great - characters who look more like their original artwork, settings that do justice to the conceptual drawings, whole new levels of nuance and atmosphere.
Bring it, I'd say.

Not like I'll ever own a DS, though, so it's all tragically irrelevant to the likes of me.

It's not that I'm horribly against the idea, but if this is true it really made it pointless to buy IV Advance for me, since I have a DS. And I'm sure there are other people who feel the same. Unless they really want 2 versions of the game in 2 different styles.

I think some of the new context in the DS version can only be unlock with the Advance version at the same time. This same goes for V & VI if they're going to have a DS version.
