FFCC The Small King and the Promised Land (WiiWare) Famitsu scans

Looking good.
So, has it been confirmed if there's online, or was it a misinterpretation?

Ramenman · (10-18-2007, 06:43 PM)

Really looking good.

I'll say it again but if a WiiWare game is going to look better than most of retail games it's gonna be disturbing.

Like a lot.

cw_sasuke · (10-18-2007, 06:44 PM)

will there also be battle if u send out your village-warriors ? so that u can play an action-rpg type game with them ? hope so...

d[-_-]b · (10-18-2007, 06:45 PM)

I still wonder how this is a Wiiware game?

djtiesto · (10-18-2007, 06:48 PM)

Looks really good, especially for a $15 downloadable game.

Do you think it'd be a WiiWare game if it had more than the town you build from scratch?

Yeah, can't wait. I love simulation RPGs. What's odd and a bit sad is that it not only looks better, but deeper than most $50 Wii software.

No, there will not be any action-rpg elements in this game. It's a simulation rpg. You're basically building stuff around the kingdom that will support adventurers in the quests as well as opening up more options in the game. For example building a weapons shop will allow adventurers to have better weapons to fight monsters with, and building a magic academy will allow the Black Mage job to be available, etc.

Nice, I'm actually starting to get interested in this game now.

thx, very much duckroll :-)

Magicpaint · (10-18-2007, 07:15 PM)

Yeah it sounds like King Story. Except I'm more interested in that than this. :P

But this looks nice. They really didn't need to attach the CC name to it, though. Completely unecessary.

KarishBHR · (10-18-2007, 07:17 PM)

How come no-one has mentioned the impossibility of this fitting inside the 512mb the wii has built in

So what would they call it?

I tried coming up with a witty remark for that, but failed. Uh, pretty much everyone has pointed that out. Wii Ware in general is going to need some storage that is more than the 512mb that Nintendo is offering. Whether that means an External Hard Drive or better SD card support I don't know, but whatever it is, it's about fucking time. A year too slow Nintendo.

jarrod · (10-18-2007, 07:37 PM)

Do we know which team is handling this game yet? Kawazu or Tokita?

I wonder if Shade (ie: Quintet) might be involved... maybe it's a sort of spiritual Actraiser 3?

John Harker · (10-18-2007, 07:41 PM)

Why do we know so much more about this game vs Crystal Bearers, the first third party game announced for Wii?

Mithos Yggdrasill · (10-18-2007, 07:42 PM)

Why this game, that should be a budget game becuase it's a Wii Ware title, looks better then most of Wii's full prices titles ?

ivysaur12 · (10-18-2007, 07:43 PM)

Penguins?

EDIT: Wait, Didn't the Black Knight die in FFCC?

Ranger X · (10-18-2007, 07:44 PM)

Still can't believe this stuff. Wiiware games will be 16mb. (final specs and limitations for Wiiware aren't confirmed though. It is subject to change i guess.)

I suspect squaresoft or nintendo or whatever the magazine to misinform their customer by showing Wii screenshots.

Is there any screens from the new Wii FF Chronicles game to actually compare?

i blame those western-devs ^^

SDZeta · (10-18-2007, 07:49 PM)

Why pay for this game when you can get Pop for the same price?

am I really that odd that this description sounds more interesting to me than the last 10 years of regular final fantasies?

There are VC games bigger than 16MB...

I don't know where you got that from but that information is false.

But yeah it's a minor complaint at best.

DrGAKMAN · (10-18-2007, 08:03 PM)

You know...this screams episodal content to me. A brainchild of Mr. Yamauchi that never went past the Zelda Sataliteview (sp?) projects! One wonders though...how big are these gonna be filesize wise?

You would have been fine with another rather original S-E game bombing horribly on a new service?

MaddenNFL64 · (10-18-2007, 08:04 PM)

I think WiiWare games will be loaded off the SD card. Implemented through firmware update same day as WiiWare launch.

Has to be.

Well, it's pretty sad that S-E apparently can't have moderate success without attaching a recognisable brand name on their titles. Meh, if it's what gives them to dosh, then I can live with it, I guess. :P

I hope so.
It's not like the Wii can't read right off the SD cards (as shown by Excite Truck and SSBB).
The problem is, the software isn't there for saves and VC games.

Neomoto · (10-18-2007, 08:22 PM)

It looks very very good and interesting. It's beyond ridiculous thought that a $15 downloadable title has far better graphics than 99% of ALL wii titles.

madara · (10-18-2007, 08:48 PM)

Heck you folks can have your FF13 I'll take a more traditional FF like this myself. Pretty rad considering this just some sim wi ware title. Makes ya wonder if they went hog wild what they could do.

Kevin · (10-18-2007, 08:58 PM)

The graphics for these games look pretty darn good. How the heck are we suppose to be able to fit this stuff on 512mb of Wii memory? My Wii got full months ago.

GamerSoul · (10-18-2007, 09:00 PM)

I think it's interesting that they're taking FFCC in many directions but I still think that they should have tried more to perfect the original formula. I want full customization with my Selkie.

Neither, from the sounds of it. Toshiro Tsuchida is producing, Motomu Toriyama is doing scenario, and the Front Mission Online director is directing. Kumi Tanioka is doing music and it sure looks like Toshiyuki Itahana is doing character designs again. Looks like Kawazu might be executive producing, though.

Anyway, despite the heavy conceptual similarities with King Story, this game is looking and sounding pretty cool... so my interest is piqued.

Itahana is only art supervisor, character designer is Yasuhisa Izumisawa from Ring of Fates. And yes, Kawazu is executive producer.

Acosta · (10-18-2007, 09:14 PM)

Love the concept, great graphics and I could deal with the style even. Just hope they localize it.

Flakster99 · (10-18-2007, 09:15 PM)

I'm intrigued. It's been a while since I've been interested in a FF title.

Lobster · (10-18-2007, 09:27 PM)

In this scan-http://img149.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp...122_1125lo.jpg

It looks like they're standing at an open castle gate in the bottom right? That might be where the fights go on?

But it also looks to carry the same character design style and races (which I really like) form CC, so it seems fitting. CC has established its own unique FF universe, if I'm not mistaken, and this appears to take place there.

Are you serious? Pop isn't $15 is it?

Anyway, I'm still taken aback that this is going to be a WiiWare game. Freaking excellence!

Because this looks like a cool concept and a fully developed game whereas Pop looks like the stupid sort of lame minigame shit that I have no interest in getting through this service.

Zhengi · (10-18-2007, 10:02 PM)

When is this game being released in the US? It looks very interesting.

Demigod Mac · (10-18-2007, 10:05 PM)

TToB will be pleased. Selkie comfort womens have returned!

Prax · (10-18-2007, 10:27 PM)

I'm also trying to figure out how they are going to make games like this fit on limited Wii storage space...

Maybe it's a WiiWare game that stores most of its content online/through Square servers? Who knows.

I want to play it. I love sims.. oO
Kind of weird how this and King Story are so similar-looking though.
