Not my kind of FF game, still I think it's great that it's coming to western DS market, the more SE content the better. I hope that eventually their successes on DS will translate into new Wii games, with some rooted in the past Smilie

I was all set to get RoF and FFRW but both seem to have faults that let them down badly. I played around a hour of RoF and some of the controls were just plain dumb and annoying for spells. It's such a shame as it could have easily been a great game if the controls worked well. It does however look gorgeous, I love the art and music. I can easily imagine MP to be fun but the lack of online is lame.

I am still committed to getting all the beautiful looking DQ games as well as FF4- onwards on DS.

Chrono Trigger 2, Wii Ware, please!

Freaking. Radically. Awesome.

That is all.

I have a friend who has serious invested 300+ hours (as of 18 months ago) into Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. I'm sure he'll be picking this up as well.

I did enjoy tactics advanced, but I have no need to go through a similar game. With Brawl out and Okami on its way for the Wii, I'm having trouble getting enough gaming time in as it is.
