Way to go, US Jump Magazine. Here we were, all speculating and stuff, and you have to come along and get pages scanned showing that the Bahumut countdown that had us all abuzz yesterday was for Blood of Bahamut for the Nintendo DS. It’s an action RPG featuring 2D sprites fighting in a 3D environment, with the giant walking city looking fellow in the background, do whatever it is giant walking city looking things do. According to the folks over at Final Fantasy Union, an additional scan depicts two characters, Ibuki and Yui, but suggests that the title could be a four-player affair.
Square Enix certainly loves their countdown clocks. The last one wound up giving us a Nintendo DS remake of Chrono Trigger, and this latest one? All we know is it’s for a game involving Bahamut, the giant dragon we’ve come to alternately love and hate, depending on which game he shows up in. The first thing that crossed my mind was a remake or sequel to Bahamut Lagoon, the Super Nintendo tactical strategy RPG, though what’s with the colossus down there at the bottom? It reminds me of the fight between Bahamut and Alexander from Final Fantasy IX, though that would be one hell of a giant Alexander.
Whatever it is, well find out on Monday once the stupid countdown clock finishes doing what it was made for. In the meantime, I’ll be desperately pouring through soundtracks trying to figure out where I know that music from. Hit the jump for the full teaser graphic.
