there is going to be a final fantasy game for the DS the below will tell u more

Final Fantasy Creator Does DS
One of the first projects out of his new studio: touch-screen RPG.


According to the Japanese publication Famitsu, the founder of the Final Fantasy series Hironobu Sakaguchi has revealed that his new studio is currently in the works with a simulation RPG for the Nintendo DS handheld.

Sakaguchi left Square-Enix to create a new game development studio, Mistwalker, a company currently working on software for next-generation platformers. In an interview with Famitsu, Sakaguchi revealed that he has recruited Hideo Minaba, best known for his work in the Final Fantasy series, for the art direction. Sakaguchi will enter the roles of the producer of the Nintendo DS game, and its development will be divided between teams that will handle the game design and storyline.

According to the Famitsu interview, the game Sakaguchi envisions will utilize the touchscreen for most of the gameplay. He also offered a hint that multiplayer may be a focus, possibly allowing up to five players to join an individual party.

im so happy!!!

Are screenshots yet? I didn't know they were actually thinking of making a FF for DS just yet.

Doesn't sound like it's going to be a FF. Just that the FF creator is working on it.

It sounds interesting, but I hope they don't sacrifice gameplay just to try and make it touchscreen friendly.

This sounds like Square-Enix is making another mistake, i mean FFCC was rubbish and why because it was on a nintendo patform.

By releasing on the GBA and the GC i was forced to indorse nintendo :Thumbd:

I agree....the FFCC for the GC really jus so sorta sucked...i like all the FF made by squaresoft...they are so much better...concerning the DS thing....i dont see why the heck they would wanna put it on the DS....keeping it on one console is good enough...but having it on a DS, GC,....and a PS2/PS.....thats sorta way too much money going into the expansions...i think they should just keep it on the PS2...its alot more better :Thumbd:

Go fanboy...

If you read the post you would know that Square-Enix IS NOT making the game, the FF CREATOR is after forming HIS OWN COMPANY.

Edit.

I do agree in that FF:CC was a pretty bad game tho, I never bothered to finish it.

FF:CC was weird. That one race looked like a cabbage patched kid, and I just didn't get it.
I don't understand why so many people think the GC and DS are such terrible products. I think a FF-related game for DS wouldn't be so bad. FF Tactics wasn't so bad for the GBA, I think you're just being stupid. Why don't you give it a chance before you slam the idea into the ground? If you're a true FF fan, the system won't matter.

FF:CC was awesome. It was just the fact that you needed GBA and all that other stuff to play it. Claiming a game is crap because of the platform it's on is idiotic.
