I hope the European release doesn't take much longer. My only regret will be giving Nintendo the pleasure of ripping me off for Wii Points.

May I add, it's a mobile phone engine aswell. Plus, it saves memory space and time for the developers.

I'm not sure a mobile phone could pull off a DS engine that easily.

Swipe a parent/relation's card and by the points online. That's what I'm doing from now on.

Such a game shouldn\'t be more expensive than say... 2000 Wii points the whole... to me that is. I can\'t imagine such a game being nearly as expensive as a retail game for all the chapters. Even though it looks good and appeals to old fans like me, i wouldn\'t put that much money in such a game that\'s purely virtual and doesn\'t add any concrete material to my video game collection.

Don't really care about not having the physical copy of the game my self, but 1000 for 9 episodes...eep, it would certainly add up.

It'll probably be 500 poins per episode for a total of $45... which for a 40 hours plus RPG seems about right.

They could also go the Space Invaders Get Even route and release the 1st episode for 1,000 points and the rest as DLC for 300 points each for a total of 3400 points... which would be very generous of SE.

I paid $90 for FF III and Secret of Evermore, so $30-50 for a genuine SNES style RPG seems right.

Mario_0 18.05.2009#12

500 would be brilliant, 800(inline with SNES VC games) would be ok but I just know Sqaure are going to take advantage of the Final Fantasy brand, they know people will buy it for 1000.

I am not thrilled by the fact that the trailer simply reuses the intro music of FF4 DS. Also, I would've hoped for the in-game graphics to be a bit better - I mean, they should at LEAST be up to the quality of FF1 and FF2 for the PS1/PSP.
That said, I do like that the game will be released in episodic format, since I think that suits the old-school FF gameplay pretty well, especially the ultra-linear design of FF4. I seriously hope that at least the audio will be up to Wii standards - and composed by Uematsu.

As said before, it\'s a port of a mobile phone game. As such, it will have mobile phone standard graphics and audio. It cannot be expected to have the graphics of the PSP remakes. And, the graphics ARE better than the PS1 versions.

And, it\'s the main theme of FFIV, why would you expect them to use something else?

They can always, y'know, compose NEW music - even just a rearrangement of that theme would be nice. And you'd think that in the process of porting a mobile phone game to a home console they might take it upon themselves to spruce things up a little bit. But I guess not.
