Why did I miss that?
I like the artwork on the official site. Can't wait to see more about it (maybe at TGS).

 

[bumpkin]

- Even though it looks like Monster Hunter, it feels more like FF11/FF14-lite.

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about this. While I did participate in the FF14 beta on PS4 and enjoyed it for the most part, I was way more interested in Explorers when it sounded like a true ARPG ala Zelda or Secret of Mana. I like my RPG battles to either be 100% turn-based or 100% real-time, not a weird hybrid.

 

[Khrno]

White Mage totally looks like Yukari from Persona 3.
And the knight on the left like Aegis from the same game.

This is Akihiko Yoshida's artwork for FFIII DS, just making sure you're not confusing it with artwork for Explorers (and I do agree with the similarity to the P3 characters).

 

[Ponn]

I'm not sure if I should be hyped or super hyped for this. Honestly i'm not a fan of multiplayer but i'm sure there will be some sort of single player component. Love the artstyle.

My destiny this generation is with handhelds it seems. This, Persona Q and STEAM looking forward to. Oh and Bravely 2.

 

[Insaniac]

so do we know if this will be a straight up action RPG a la Crystal Chronicles, or slower paced like FF11? (I never played FF11, but the combat looked "cooldown" based)

 

[Shauni]

This sounds like it could be real fun. I just wonder if Square will localize it or if it'll be up to Nintendo to bring yet another Square 3DS title over.

 

[Ken]

Fine I'll buy it.

It will be closer to CC imo, the only thing I can see being FFXI like is the job system and its ja's and maybe skillchains, which CC kinda did as well (merging/combining spells).

From the way they described it, it's more of an action RPG than even CC. Definitely nothing like FFXI or FFXIV in terms of actual combat gameplay. The emphasis is on action, and you assign abilities to buttons. Actual movement and timing, etc.

 

[pixlexic]

This is the exact type of games I want. I just don't know if I can play it on a small screen.

sounds kinda like somabringer...
But I guess this one is going to be in 3d

 

[ladyluthien]

This is looking awesome! And 100-200 hours of 'replaybility' after the main story?! Hell yes!

Edit: changed my wording lol
100-200 hours of content isn't true lol

fantastic!

 

[Dark_castle]

Everything I wanted to hear. Now give me a Mimic class and I'll almost forgive you for not showing FFXV in E3 2014.

Okay, more credits have popped up for the game. Along with details on the director.

Quite a number of the staff seem to have been involved with the DS SaGa remakes: Miura, Abe, Kobayashi, Hashimoto.

Thanks, added that to the OP, too.

 

[ohlawd]

We need more Selkies up in here.

 

[roknin]

Definitely looking forward to this.

We need more Selkies up in here.

* raises hand * Selkies 4 lyfe

Though to be fair, I only played the original CC and about 60% of Ring of Fates. Skipped Echoes of Time and owned Crystal Baerers for about one week...

 

[Falk]

White Mage totally looks like Yukari from Persona 3.
And the knight on the left like Aegis from the same game.

They're from FFIII

edit: For comparison

 

[VertPin]

Hngh. Dragoon or Paladin class? D:

 

[daydream]

Will buy if it ends up releasing here. Would be surprising if it didn't, though.

 

[Jeels]

Online multi makes me a happy camper. Now all I need to see is some video and I am down.

 

[Benzychenz]

This looks fantastic :O

 

[cafemomo]

Logo/Key Art Design: Yoshitaka Amano
Composer: Tsuyoshi Sekito

Already fantastic

 

[Prototype]

Im very excited for this. FF X MH sounds amazing. I really liked the position changing stuff they introduced in 14 so that's all good in my book. With the mh formula I could see myself sinking lots of hours into this.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I want to see a footage, maybe in the coming Nintendo Direct

 

[Prototype]

Also really liking the art style for the character models.

I wonder if you'll be able to create new armor and weapons.

 

[TreIII]

Sounds like fun!

Already looking to buy this. Blue Mages being confirmed would just make this more so~!

 

[SYNTAX182]

Well played SE, you got my interest. Day 1 if samurai class

 

[ss-hikaru]

Add me to the list of people who wanna play dragoon! (that's the same as valkyrie in Bravely Default right?) Hopefully there is a salvemaker or equivalent job so I can make my favourite job combo again :3

Game is sounding really good. A little RPG-ish, a little monhan-ish~ I have a really bad track record when it comes to after-the-main-story-content but the multiplayer aspect will most probably keep me going! Looking forward to seeing what jobs my friends prefer and whether we'll can make any balanced teams (probably not)

 

[Shinta]

This sounds a lot better than I first expected.

 

[Conrad Link]

FFXI-lite? Sign me the f**k up!

Please come out in English.

Wonder if Racjin could be involved at all since they worked on the DS SaGa games, like assisting where as SE are mostly responsible for it in-house hence them being credited as developer. Unless Racjin had greater involvement with the DS SaGa games?

 

[nikos]

Really glad it's not supposed to play like Monster Hunter. Hopefully this gets localized.
