    Default Final Fantasy Gaiden: The Four Warriors of Light(Nintendo DS)

    http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2009/341.html

    The official website's countdown may only end next week, but courtesy of JUMP magazine, we already know that the game being teased by Square Enix is called Hikari no 4 Senshi (Four Warriors of Light): Final Fantasy Gaiden. The newest addition to the company's ever growing library of DS titles apparently will offer a classic take on everybody's favorite game genre complete with a "save the princess" story and traditional turn-based battle system. Equipment changes will be reflected by the respective character models.
    Hikari no 4 Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden for DS will be available in Japan sometime this fall.

    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    This is the first "Final Fantasy Gaiden" since the original Seiken Densetsu.

    So, that's pretty neat, at least.

    Is this a remake of the original FFGaiden? Or an entirely new game? Probably new game, since it features four heroes, but I can hope.

    And if it is a remake, does it give us hope for a remake (or rerelease) of Secret of Mana?

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    It looks neat. I'm just a sucker for customizable characters.

    It's a completely different game.

    FFGaiden was a game styled similar to the older Zelda games, released in the US as Final Fantasy Adventure. It was released... In the 1990s, I think? Shortly after we got the original FF here in the US.

    Gaiden:
    (a Japanese-language word often translated as "side story" or "tale") is used to refer to an anecdote or supplementary biography of a person. The term gaiden is commonly used in popular Japanese fiction to refer to a spin-off (canonical or otherwise) of a previously published work that is not officially considered a sequel nor a prequel. However, some gaiden are retold stories in the perspective of a different character, similar to that of a flashback.

    I wonder if this is going to be a Gaiden story for FF1?

    Its looks... ok. I can't really muster any opinion for it really.

    Am I the only one who thought this was just going to be an FF1 remake until I actually read the thread? (Come on... "Hikari no 4 Senshi"?)

    I know, I know... But I was thinking that, since this has quite a bit to do with One, he could do some art... Yoshida's still great, though. At least he's not Nomura I'd hate to imagine what this game would look like if he handled the character designs...

    YouTube - Hikari no Yon Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden - Main Theme [DOWNLOAD LINK INCLUDED]

    The clip says that the protagonist has to rescue Princess Sarah from Garland, kidnapped by a witch. Sounds like FF1 to me.

    Witches kidnapped no one. And besides that, everyone knows they only rescued Sarah because they needed a bridge to fill the plot hole as to how they got there.

    Edit: Hey, maybe Amano will be the graphical designer. Eh? Eh?
