They've got a teaser trailer up on gamespot now. It's just a picture of an FMV Crystal(FF Origins, anyone?), with scrolling Japanese text. I have no clue on how to understand Japanese, however. :/ If anyone could translate that, it would be much appreciated.

While hardly anything is known, it is known that the game will feature dual screen and touch screen support that will somehow interact with you on collecting crystals throughout the game.

Information regarding release date and more details to come soon!

Hoorah!

I was about to post this, you people are ahead of the game.

It certainly is the real FF3. Now then, I know they have totally reworked 1 and 2 for GBA, but for the DS release, here's the thing. I REALLY hope they have an original gameplay mode (if not the original game outright) on that cart on top of whatever changes they want to make. I say this because at least with Dawn of Souls, I can still play the PS1 Origins collection if I want a nearly unaltered version of FF2. I would also like a nearly identical in terms of gameplay version of FF3 to play since we just don't have that.

Touch screen menus on the bottom with everything else on the top is easily imaginable.

Oh yes, that's something I hadn't thought of, and now I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Welll.. actually I didnt' think about how the touch screen would be used at all, I hadn't even humored the idea that it would be used .

But yes, a touch screen menu so you can just press the commands and such would be nice. Here's an alternative. The whole game could be touch screen based. You could basically click where you wanted to walk, click on an enemy to target it, click on an item to select it, that sort of thing. You know, PC style interaction.

TEH PWNZ!!!!!!

I want it to come out on the GBA or Playstation one or PS2. Not the Nintendo DS. I don't know what that even is. But short to say, is that Square let's the loyal PS-players just alone, by bringing on a completly other console. I don't about what they think, but can't they just bring it on more console at the same time?

The Nintendo Dual Screen (or DS for short) is the upcoming handheld system from Nintendo. It features two screens and a stylus (much like a PDA has). It has impressive specs, and one of the slated games is a 4 player version of Mario 64.

This whole crystal collecting thing has me wary. I don't care if they make changes, just so long as those changes are reflected. If they call it FFIII DS or FFIII Dawn of Somethingoranother that's cool, but I really hope they don't try to pawn it off as the original original.

Mmmmmmm..... FFIII, Dawn of Somethingoranother.....
