Because Cecil and Kain had just killed her mother's dragon, and hence her mother.

OMG teh spoilars!!!

 

[Takuan]

Nostalgiagasm! I like the direction they've gone with the character models, particularly the character-unique faces and greater range of expression. Kain's helmet looks a bit foolish, though. :lol I'm really eager for this, hope we get a North American date soon.

foolishly... awesome?

No. OMEGA AWESOME.

Square-Enix I forgive you.

Spoiler

FOR NOW.

 

[Knocks]

It appears to look better than FFIII

Making it look better than FFIII... what a challenging task that was.

 

[careksims]

Me wants this!!! X_x so sexy!

 

[PolyGone]

Making it look better than FFIII... what a challenging task that was.

considering its one of the prettiest DS games, yeah I'd say its nice to see them topping it. :/

Must be at least as hard as being dumber than you! Burnnnn!!

 

[rakka]

:lol

 

[Ledsen]

Looks really good, except Cecil in Dark Knight armor makes me start humming "na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na BATMAAAAAN", and then I start thinking about chibi-George Clooney and I giggle.

 

[tnw]

kain looks great.

rosa looks too much like aeris and too homely. paladin cecil looks pretty good, but not good enough.

the chibi and animu eyes are a big turn off.

 

[AzureNightmare]

This game is going to kick so much ass....

 

[Nuke]

It's pretty funny that this is my most anticipated game out there right now. Especially when you consider that I've played and beaten it multiple times before.

 

[xcomp]

Definitely looking good. Looks like the new head to body ratio is working out.

And yes, it's Rosa Farrell, Cecil Harvey and Kain Highwind in the scans. Can't wait until they release the OP PV on their site

 

[acidviper]

Some body at SE better be re-making an HD version of IV, VI, VII, VIII, and IX for PS3

 

[Magicpaint]

Looks nice, but I wish they went for more realistic looking character models altogether. The CG art looks so stunning afterall, but I understand that the DS can't replicate that to an acceptable level, so I guess this works well enough.

 

[Prime crotch]

Hope this time the engine can have more than three enemies on screen.

WTF? Are you some kind of Nomura lover?

how could you forget Rydia?

<3 Rydia <3

 

[Magicpaint]

It has already been confirmed that number of enemies in battles will remain the same as the original.

WTF? Are you some kind of Nomura lover?

Nope.

 

[KevinRo]

rosa looks so hot in that first picture, where she kinda looks sad. all these pictures and awesome character models are making me giddy.

i just cant wait to see how the land of summons will look like in 3D.

 

[plake]

Awesome!! Day one, definately.

 

[El Papa]

Nope.

Then there is hope for you. Really though, I think the models look great, after all, the original had SD style models for overworld and battle. This game is gonna make me jack a hobo and buy a DS.

 

[Llyranor]

Why am I tempted to get this? I just got FF4A a few months back (barely a few hrs in), and I finished the SNES version years ago multiple times.

Why?

 

[El Papa]

Because sex is hard to turn down.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Not as awesome as the Dragon Quest IV DS game but great none the less.

put me in the I respectfully disagree camp

 

[John Harker]

Do you think they'd give this treatment to FF6?

man, I could only imagine how awesome that would be...
I hope they don't chicken out.

 

[rakka]

put me in the I respectfully disagree camp

I'd like to join you there.

 

[Ginko]

Yeah, if this sells well, and it will.

Can't wait to play this gem for the third time.

FF5 first. I want to see ExDeath's final form in 3D.

 

[Akala]

Probably my fave game of all time (heavily nostalgia based).

I just need to get past the AmanoCecil. In the SNES game, the SD characters were pretty much loose interpretations of his concept art. Now that they can actually do his designs a bit of justice, they are trying to do so.

I really wish they wouldn't though, as I totally prefer generic AnimeCecil from the old days.

Totally psyched for it in any case. :lol

 

[Y2Kev]

Looks cool, please rearrange the music well.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

omg I can't wait for this game!

Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy, round 2,293... fight!

 

[Y2Kev]

doragon cuesto is kewl but final fantasy is the best b/c sephiroth

 

[PolyGone]

In the SNES game, the SD characters were pretty much loose interpretations of his concept art.

well, the in-game models are still pretty loose renditions frankly...

Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy, round 2,293... fight!

why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends

 

[Aeana]

Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy, round 2,293... fight!

As if DQ could possibly win anything, here.

 

[Akala]

OH GOD I just realized that render/shot is supposed to be Cecil as a dark knight.

 

[JayDubya]

Edit: Well that's kind of crude isn't it.

So we'll just shorten it. FAP. There we go.

 

[PolyGone]

OH GOD I just realized that render/shot is supposed to be Cecil as a dark knight.

nvm, yeah the bottom right shot (in-game) is him as Dark Knight - and it is a little disappointing

 

[JayDubya]

what the hell makes you think that? :/ he looks like a paladin, and its followed directly by the in-game shot of him as a paladin.

unless you're getting Dark Knight Cecil and Kain mixed up (how embarrassing).

Bottom left?

Honestly, I can't tell. Perhaps there's a scene with him as a DK where he takes his helm off.

Or perhaps that's his new Paladin look. But it doesn't remind me even vaguely of his old appearance, aside from the headband. The armor appears, in this scan, to be black and spiky. The sword he's wielding has a dark hilt.

Maybe it's just because the color is a bit off on the entire scan. I don't know.

Edit: No, bottom right? Hrm, maybe his new Paladin look is quite different, then. I see nothing wrong with the Dark Knight armor in that part of the scan. Besides we've already seen his in-game model. The rest of it looks like FMV stuff.

 

[Akala]

Bottom right is him as a DK. Looks like the scene in the beginning where he is talking to Rosa in their room. The render confused me for a second because of all the spikes and black ingrained into the armor (havent had my coffee yet ), but it's obviously the redesigned Paladin. It almost looks like Koenig armor from FFXI.

As for the dark knight pic, hopefully his face is only showing for the scene (emoting/foreshadowing), but I doubt it.

I need to take a few deep breaths before overreacting early in the morning.

 

[JayDubya]

His Paladin outfit was so colorful before. I mean, I guess it's an appropriate redesign because the big bright yellow cloak wouldn't look very good, but it's a big change.

 

[Ginko]

Personally, I'm ok with this design since it represents the original design of Amano more than the old one.

I didn't have a problem with the old Paladin Cecil though.

 

[jarrod]

Lookin' good, Matrix is totally rocking DS.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Cecil does appear to be rocking the Koenig, which is more or less the modern FF Paladin look.

 

[jjasper]

I don't know I kinda hope they don't FFVI's 2D looks better than this 3D to me.

 

[JayDubya]

I'd like it more with the inside of the cape being red like it is here. That looks awesome.

 

[Ginko]

True, I was thinking the same thing just now. I wonder why they didn't go with the red color.
