[Smiles and Cries]

There are three games there.

It's a Wonderful World -- DS
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings -- DS

OMG! wooot

I want both

 

[neo2046]

look! Square definitely can do good 2D sprite game in DS
Square! why you not just port FF3, 5, 6 to DS in good 2D sprite ?

 

[ethelred]

Unrelatedly, the addition of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, It's a Wonderful World, and Heroes of Mana brings Square Enix up to 11 DS games.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Wow, all the Nomura haters vanished quickly. :lol

Of course, he is contributing to a nintendo project now!
Im using a condescending tone so you guys dont take me seriously.

I dunno, I think an RPG in 3D > RPG in 2D. though i wouldn't mind a 3D RPG that used 2D sprite look but that will never happen now

 

[Link]

All this DS love.
Wonder if it translates to Wii

If the Wii sells the way the DS has sold in Japan, then probably.

 

[Rocked]

Good art.

:lol !?

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Square-Enix and Nintendo DS = A Love-Story.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

oh ****! im buyin

 

[SolidSnakex]

More modern day setting RPG's = good. It's about time more started mixing it up frmo the scifi, medievil, scifi ect. setting of the RPG norm.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

That's ****ing sexy. It's like a JSR-RPG. :O

 

[RaijinFY]

This man holds the truth.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Eww. As if Kingdom Hearts on GBA wasn't bad enough.

Nomura has soiled the DS. Gamers lose.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Wow, all the Nomura haters vanished quickly. :lol

What? No, I haven't gone anywhere.

Cleanup on aisle 3, please. There's Nomura-jizz everywhere.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Nomura may only be contributing character designs... one can hope.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

idk

I'd like to see what he can do game wise outside of KH.

the Kingdom hearts series is weaksauce gameplay with huge production values to fool audiovisualphiles into enjoying themselves. Hopefully someone competent is at the helm, and if Im not mistaken nomura has too much on his plate already with crisis core and ff13 vs.

He's not really working on Crisis Core outside of the character art which he's probably gotten out the way by now. So that just leaves FFvs13 (where he is the game director), this and Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix.

 

[SantaC]

action RPG right? (not SRPG)

 

[Mau ®]

That's it! Im getting a DSlite!!!

Too much FF to contain me!

 

[Dragona Akehi]

What? No, I haven't gone anywhere.

I might be late but I'm here too!

 

[reminder]

I like the style.

 

[thetrin]

I love the art style. It's got a great japanese street vibe about it. **** the haters. Nomura wins this round.

 

[monkeyrun]

sweet, new Square RPG ip

 

[Snaku]

Looks amazing! Squeenix <3's DS lite.

 

[Jonnyram]

OMG, the game is set in Shibuya?
Awesome!

 

[ivysaur12]

I still can't believe that Square is making a new IP for the DS. That is completely unreal.

 

[Vic]

not...really?

 

[ivysaur12]

not...really?

If I had asked you two years ago that Square-Enix would be making a new IP for the next Nintendo handheld, what would you have said? I mean, how many new IPs did Square-Enix make for the PS2?

 

[madhtr]

Obviously a little late..... but the character designs (for It's a Wonderful World) aren't just Nomura. Gen Kobayashi also had his hands in there. He was the character designer for Musashi: Samurai Legend, as well as the character modeler for Resident Evil Zero.

Yah but those designs atleast are definetly Nomura's. Nomura might be handeling the main characters while Gen does the others.

 

[jarrod]

Considering Division 1's KH team is now involved in 4 games (FF Vs XIII, Crisis Core, Wonderul World, KH2 Final Mix), I'm guessing the handheld stuff is likely co-developed. Wonderful World looks like Jupiter to me (a la KH COM). Crisis Core I dunno though... maybe TOSE?

 

[krypt0nian]

Excellent news! Nomura wins again, and gamers alongside!

Loving the design so far.

 

[ZeoVGM]

can someone PLEASE translate what it says about that KH card battle screen shot?

i still stand by what i said in the other thread: looks like a 3D remake of CoM, included in Final Mix. though i could be wrong (probably am!)

 

[darkvir]

Excellent, thanx for the scan!

I luv my DS~!

So it loosely translates to "Vaan and Panero's new journey", its a story about sky pirates that go to a new land in Ivalice...

 

[Shig]

If I had asked you two years ago that Square-Enix would be making a new IP for the next Nintendo handheld, what would you have said?

"Yeah, I know. It's called Egg Monster Hero and they already announced it at E3."

I mean, how many new IPs did Square-Enix make for the PS2?

Fullmetal Alchemist
Radiata Stories
The Bouncer
Driving Emotion
Code Age Commanders

Probably a few more I'm forgetting.

 

[thetrin]

OMG, the game is set in Shibuya?
Awesome!

If Hachiko-san comes to life as a giant killer dog monster, I will laugh my ass off.

 

[Zilch]

"Yeah, I know. It's called Egg Monster Hero and they already announced it at E3."

The Hanjuuku Hero series has been around for a lot longer than the DS has.

 

[Vic]

nm

 

[ivysaur12]

Fullmetal Alchemist
Radiata Stories
The Bouncer

Egg Monster Hero isn't a new IP. It's based off of a long standing Japanese IP. Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga.

 

[Shig]

The Hanjuuku Hero series has been around for a lot longer than the DS has.

Ah. Oh well.

It's still not THAT much of a surprise. The Mana and SaGa series started on Game Boy, it's not like they've never done a new IP on handhelds.

Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga.

I'm pretty certain FMA is a fully Square-developed IP spread across multiple media at once. Just like Bandai did with .hack.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Excellent, thanx for the scan!

Everytime I hear sky pirates I think Skies of Arcadia.

 

[Ashodin]

A closer examination of the battle reveals that it looks like you can play 2 player with it!

Or, you control both characters somehow, or the top character is auto (like Portrait of Ruin).

The big thing here is what the characters really are: psychics, ala Earthbound.

Those symbols on the top screen? They're psychic symbols used by people to see if you have ESP. The way how you progress to the plus sign instead of the circle is unknown, but as you can see, the chick at the top is psychically slashing her enemies.

I love games with characters as psychics.

 

[thetrin]

"Yeah, I know. It's called Egg Monster Hero and they already announced it at E3."

Fullmetal Alchemist
Radiata Stories
The Bouncer
Driving Emotion
Code Age Commanders

Um....Kingdom Hearts?!

I'm pretty FMA is a fully Square-developed IP, though spread across multiple media. Sort of like .hack was for Bandai.

Wrong. The manga was running much before Square got a hold of it. They only developed the games and handled funding for the anime.

 

[jarrod]

Ah. Oh well.

It's still not THAT much of a surprise. The Mana and SaGa series started on Game Boy, it's not like they've never done a new IP on handhelds.

Yep, there's also Blue Wing Blitz and Wildcard on WSC... both of which would actually suit themselves well to DS actually.

 

[yamaneko]

Damn, PSP gets no love at all. How sad.

=(

 

[jarrod]

Um....Kingdom Hearts?!

Kingdom Hearts is based on mostly old IPs.... most of which don't even belong to Square. I'm not sure if it qualifies more than any other spinoff or licensed game honsetly.
