The ERSB Ratings board has confirmed a release of Final Fantasy mobile game The After on Wii.
Last week a patent was uncovered for "The After Years". Square Enix Europe had told us of the game's existence previously, and now it seems to be official with a listing on the ESRB ratings board for North America.
This is a 2D role-playing game in which players embark on an adventure involving magical crystals and a mysterious kingdom. Players traverse across a field map or through dungeons and can enter into turn-based battles along the way. Players use a menu screen to select attacks or magic spells against tiny enemies (e.g., leopards, birds, knights, fish monsters, etc.) that blink and disappear when defeated. An item called "Bacchus Wine" is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle.
