DS News | Final Fantasy III, WiFi Confirmed! [news]

This is looking lovely. Very similar in style to FFVII and IX (my faves of the series).

Looking pretty stunning, wondor what form the online mode will take.

That is fucking amazing. Hopefully the online mode will be a joy to play, and with the privacy and potability of the swanky DS!

Looking nice indeed, no idea what the WiFi support could be though?

We need our resident RPG/Square nut, Mr Riley, to do some speculation

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !

Looks great

Excellent news!

That's good news, but in what way will it support Wi-Fi?

I will be buying this one. I wasn't planning on it, but it looks irresistable. And now with Nintendo Wi-Fi!

Methinks it could either be some sort of special teaming up thing for battles or special extra quests...

Meet in a lobby area, get some people together and off you go on a long quest.

Or maybe even a battle arena, where depending on your position and level in the game, you can take control of certain monsters in the game and pit yourself against other around the world to see who's best.

Or even just an item/weapon/armour trading idea...

Hmm...

Very lovely shots, graphics are superior to zelda's it seems.

Well, we already knew it was gonna look really good, remember these?
FF3 Comparison

They were on C3 a while ago

Yep yep, looks totally awesome

Comparison shots are good. Is the basic layout of the game the same? Or just the story?

It's looking FECKING JUICY!! I can't wait, it's certainly bringing out the DS' potential, even in these early screens!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWEEEEE!!!

Defo, seems like the DS is on the rise both graphically and in terms of gameplay!

Z, the game's the same...apart from the following that I've dug up:

- Touch screen gameplay, total control at your fingertips
- Developed characters, with full names, personalities, histories and are actual real characters, not just FF1 clones
- Updates to the story
- Rebalancing and revision of the jobs, with potential new ones included
- Spectacular 3D graphical update
- Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection compatibility

Sounds good to me!

It like, IS good

Sounds like quite an overhaul, as if the 3D engine wasn't good enough. Butt I wonder why they didn't just make a new game with so much different? I am not critising their choice, I am just curios, honestly.

Online eh..
This really gets me thinking...

So providing this follows the original final fantasy 3 storyline. How will it be online, will it be like final fantasy online??, will there only be player vs player styles or will multiple people be able to wander the same world basking apon the glory of japaneese technology??.

Has that information been revealed

looks sweet! Reminds me of FF9. Graphics wise.

Yeah I thought that too, when I looked at the shots with the battle on the airship. Reminded me of the Black Waltz no. 3!

I like the idea of WFC connectivity, I suppose it means Co-op online?

Maybe it will play like Crystal Chronicles multiplayer did, except online. Wait, but CC wasn't turn based.
