Finally you’ll be able to associate voices to your favourite characters in the all-new CG cutscenes! Utilise the new Augment System to assign special abilities to your characters! Experience a remixed version of Nubuo Uematsu’s original score! Train and customise your Whytkin using mini-games and let it fight to the death for your amusement! Watch me get so excited that I just reiterate the bullet points in the press release below! *composes himself* The game is due out on July 22nd, and Square Enix already has a website set up for the game at http://na.square-enix.com/ff4/ . Okay, so it’s more of a picture than a website, but they’ll get there, I promise.
Oh course it does! It’s mostly cut scenes. Still, here ya go: The new Final Fantasy IV for the DS trailer. The game is being developed by Matrix Software, who was also being the Final Fantasy III remake. From the footage, looks like they’ve done another fine job of enhancing one of Square’s (and gaming’s) best RPGs.
