Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light World Map Trailer

Game has an awesome style.

...Why?

That desert looks SO BORING. Otherwise it looks ok. Seems like it would give a headache after awhile though. So much cuteness and matching colors...

Looks like retro final fantasy palette found animal crossing!

A nice blend of old and new. Nice to see some color in a world that seems dominated by games that lack color! I'll have to put this on my Christmas list!

Loving the art style.

It's ridiculous how well that 8-bit flavour in the soundtrack works. That alone has made me decide to buy it.

Love the music and graphics... now I have to add yet another game onto my ever-expanding must-have list.

How would cuteness give someone a headache?

Huh...not sure this looks so hot. Give me some 2-D sprites and artwork.

Wow, this is looking(and sounding) great!

That game looks awesome
If it was a gril it'd be really cute....even as a game it's cute

I'm so excited for this game. It has the prettiest art I've ever seen in a DS game. <3

i like RPGS( dragon quest & pokemon) but i cant stand final fantasy( I just cant) so this isnt on my chrismas list but dragon quest 9 & pokemon black and white are a different story

My eyes, they burn because of the cuteness!

i have a real rpg that doesn't hurt the eyes called dq9
this is a sick joke thanks square i can tell that enix is pulling all the weight

It looks like a 3D Guadia Quest but even better.

@abgar yeah that's true!
This looks ok, I will stick with Dragon Quest 9!

@Egg Meister

Okay, I'll bite: how is this not a real RPG, yet DQ9 is? They're both cut from the same cloth, albeit with different gameplay elements between them and different artstyles. Seriously, what's it missing?

@Mikeymac: maybe he wants Goku-like heroes of light too?

@Mickeymac its gameplay dq is the classic rpg gameplay the real gamers grewup on, while this game is a weird hybrid gameplay with sicking graphics ff games have been single handily destroyed this gen by square

Now im a big Final Fantasy fan, but I think even I am more impressed with DQ9 at the moment. Not saying I wouldnt get this one though.

@Egg Miester

...no...no, you are deeply mistaken my friend. This game is more "Classic" than FF has been in a long time, since FF3 on the NES(or more likely FF5 on the SNES depending on how things play out), in case you haven't been paying attention. Classes are back, turn-based combat is back, and now stocks are back, all in an updated form that allows for more strategic uses and to update them for a new generation. It took the old and expanded on it, making it new again, just like what DQ9 did to its series. What the hell more do you want?!

Also, the graphics don't suck. They're pretty good for a DS game, with an artstyle that's either good or bad depending on your tastes. Not that it matters since graphics never made a game any more or less of an RPG.

Oh, and by the way, I don't know if you've been under a rock for 7 or 8 years, but Square and Enix are both long gone. They merged together into a singular entity, Square-Enix. If you don't like the newer FF games, that's fine, but don't blame it on a company that no longer exists. Not that it matters, since this game is nothing like what they've been putting out for the past 10, even 15 years. And you'd realize that if you'd just take your blinders off and see it for what it is.

What's with the insane curvature of the world? Not just the world map, but inside towns, you take a couple dozen steps and everything behind you disappears over the horizon. The world must be like a mile in diameter to make things disappear that fast. Looks like it would be very difficult to keep your bearings because you can see so little of your surroundings.

Also, art style = ugly. Sorry, but crappy 3D is crappy 3D. This game could be gorgeous if done in 2D
