It's always good when we get to post up reviews of Final Fantasy games, and we've talked a bit about this game on the podcast. For those who don't know, it's a new Final Fantasy game for the Nintendo DS which has a strong focus on a job system.
Nelson reviewed the game for GamingUnion.net and was pretty fair with his comments. It sounds like there are a few aspects that can be frustrating, but on the whole, it was still good fun.
E3 is over, and GamingUnion.net, our sister site, managed to spend quite a lot of time at the Square Enix booth. Unfortunately, there wasn't really much shown from the perspective of Final Fantasy, but some hands-on time with games was still possible.
First up is Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes Of Light, a new title coming out on the Nintendo DS. It's not too dissimilar from the Crystal Chronicles franchise, as it's possible to play it co-operative with three other players. It's been designed so that just as much fun can be had with the single player campaign though.

The upcoming Nintendo DS RPG, Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes Of Light, has received an all new trailer to go with the recent release date announcement. The new trailer doesn't reveal anything new, however it does dive into some gameplay footage as well as showing off the new direction in art style.
For those that have been neglecting Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes Of Light, this game will return to a more traditional style of gameplay as seen in older Final Fantasy titles, but still adding new elements like the new active points battle system.
Square-Enix have been opening the lids on a lot of their secrets recently, with Square-Enix Europe giving an autumn release date for Final Fantasy: Four Heroes of Light on the DS earlier today. However, not to be outdone by their neighbours across the pond, the North American branch went one better.
That's right people, not just a release window, but a definite release date that you can mark on your calendar. October 5th 2010 is the day when you will be wanting to have your DS fully charged and stylus in-hand.
Final Fantasy Gaiden: The Four Warriors of Light has been rated in Australia under the name Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light with a PG or parental guidance certificate.
This rating by the Australian OFLC confirms that Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light will be heading to Westerners sooner than we may have anticipated.
With the release of Hikari no 4 Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden not too long away in Japan, Square Enix have decided to release some excerpts of the original soundtrack that will accompany the game.
So far, there have been eight tracks revealed, and although the samples are relatively short, it's still possible to hear some of the old classical tunes returning to form.
The OST will feature a total of 41 tracks, and they have been composed/arranged by Naoshi Mizuta, of Final Fantasy XI fame. It's assumed that Square Enix will be revealing more of tracks closer to the game's release. We'll definitely keep you posted.
The Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden was announced a short while ago, and it's in development for the Nintendo DS by Matrix Software. However, up until now, only a handful of the Square Enix development staff had been known.
The official website has now been updated, and it contains information on many more of the staff members. Akihiko Yoshida, of Final Fantasy XII fame, will be doing the character design for the title and he will be joined on the creative side by Naoshi Mizuta. Mizuta is well known for his extensive musical work on Square Enix's MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI. Takashi Tokita will be directing the game, and he has an extensive track record with Square Enix, working on titles such as Final Fantasy VII, Parasite Eve and Chrono Trigger.
It's good to see that Square Enix are taking this title very seriously, and it should reassure fans that this game is looking to be a full-blown title.
Ever since the mysterious countdown appeared on Square Enix's website, gamers have been trying to figure out what game would be revealed. Thanks to a leaked scan from the new Weekly Shonen Jump, the mystery game has finally been revealed.
The game is entitled Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden, which matches a trademark for Four Warriors of Light which Square Enix had previously trademarked. It will be a traditional role-playing game, telling the story of a young boy who sets out to rescue a princess.
New to the franchise (at least at this level), all of the equipment in the game will change how your character looks. Now players will have to choose between what provides the best defense and what looks best on their characters, making every player's game unique due to the various amount of equipment that will be available.
The game is in 3D, and seems to have a watercolor-like art direction look to it. Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden will be coming to the Nintendo DS this Fall in Japan. No North American release date has currently been announced.
