Biggest reason for me to get a 360, if it turns out to be true.

Quote:
The big surprise, however, is Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. This is a direct sequel to the SNES game, set 17 years after its events. It is currently being released in Japan for mobile phones (In monthly parts), but Square said not too long ago that a western release would most likely be on WiiWare - It seems they spoke the truth!


WOOOOOOOOO!

Many rumors say yes and have said yes for a little while now.

Here's the number two google result for the rumor.

And don't forget Parasite Eve 3 as well as a Final Fantasy 7 game featuring the Turks.

I still need to finish FF4DS. And if the game's been ESRB rated, that might mean it's coming soon. Gotta have a near-finished translation to get rated, right?

It's out. I tried it out. Definately feels like classic Final Fantasy IV, but with an interesting addition: the inclusion of team-up attacks. It's not quite the combination of spells that Chrono Trigger had, but specialized attacks like Palom and Porom's Twin attack. No idea yet how many combinations there will be, but considering they gave me a toturial on the feature in the first dungeon (in which a couple classic FF running gags performed an attack against all enemies), I can only assume it'll be a prominent feature.

The downside is that they're releasing it like they did the mobile game. Episodic content. First episode is 800 points with the remaining eight at 300 points each. Still, I don't know how the episodes will play out or how they'll releate to each other (I'm sure eventually they'll all come together at some point), but $32 total for classic japanese RPGing sounds fair enough. Especially compared to how much FF4 used to cost on the SNES.

Incidentally, the second episode is already available: "Rydia's Tale".

EDIT: I've played over three hours so far. If you didn't know this were originally a cellphone game, you'd never tell. This seriously feels like a real sequel to one of the FF greats. I can recommend the download so far. Just make note, being based off of the original FF4, various details like the encounter rate will be unchanged.

Episodic... no thanks.

After the final one is out, I'll just buy them all in bulk so I can play as long as I want without having to wait for them to release the rest of the game.

::2 minutes later edit::

Wait a minute... you have a 360? That's awesome.

What? No. It's WiiWare-exclusive here. How'd you get 360 out of that?

Oh, well it shows you how much of a retard I am... I was thinking it was 360 exclusive.

http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/games/f/finalfantasy4/

That was the original link, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

That link crashed FireFox.

I thought it'd be on 360, too, but the video trailer I linked above only mentions WiiWare.

And the first chapter is beaten. I clocked in at just over six hours, talking to townsfolk and finding as many treasure chests as I could.

Speaking of treasure chests, some chests refill themselves as the story progresses. My guess is they were refilled due to the chapter likely having more break-ups in the cellphone release (there were several points where it'd show the title again).
