V... Voice... acting...? I wonder if they mean the new 'Theme of Love' song or all dialogue, like FF CC RoF?

LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATIONS

Probably trues.

So there's going to be an official, vocalised utterance of "you spoony bard"?
This has the potential to be awe-inspiring.

A 3D version of the game would be great - characters who look more like their original artwork, settings that do justice to the conceptual drawings, whole new levels of nuance and atmosphere.
Bring it, I'd say.

Not like I'll ever own a DS, though, so it's all tragically irrelevant to the likes of me.

It's not that I'm horribly against the idea, but if this is true it really made it pointless to buy IV Advance for me, since I have a DS. And I'm sure there are other people who feel the same. Unless they really want 2 versions of the game in 2 different styles.

I think some of the new context in the DS version can only be unlock with the Advance version at the same time. This same goes for V & VI if they're going to have a DS version.

I hope Tellah has a good voice-actor. I really hope so.

HOOTERS, who doesn't post here any more ( ), once said that Tellah looks like Dame Edna. 'Cross-dressing old man' and all that. If they could get Barry Humphries to voice Tellah... well, the possibilities are nigh endless

IGN: Final Fantasy IV Update

The Final Fantasy remake machine is running at full speed at Square Enix's offices in Japan, and the latest result is a fully 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV. Famitsu scored an interview with key staff members of the DS remake, which follows in the footsteps of the platinum selling remake of part III.

In the magazine's hot seat this week were director Takashi Tokita (scenario and planning on the original SNES version) and producer Tomoya Asano, who also produced the FFIII remake. The game is in development at a company called Matrix, who also handled the FFIII port, although these two are Square Enix staffers.

Tokita is the FF veteran here. He actually became a full Square employee during development of the original FFIV, which was the first time he had full control over the event planning on an RPG. For the remake, he's rechecking the original's scenario, which he wrote himself, and has managed to work in some new events. He stated of the remake, "It's new, but it's FFIV."

In somewhat of a surprising revelation, Tokita disclosed to Famitsu that only one-fourth of the original scenario made it into the Super Famicom title! The remake will see some areas fleshed out while others will be cut.

The two discussed some of the ways that game will make use of the DS. First off, they're working on ways to utilize the dual screens. During battle, the help window can be displayed larger thanks to the second screen. During dungeons, the bottom screen is used for an auto mapping feature. You can make your character move by touching the map with the stylus. While the D-pad is the main means of movement this time around, there will be some stylus-based mini games.

Tokita revealed that there are some big plans under way to make players play a second time. This is not limited to just restarting a game in a powerful condition, explained Asano.

Famitsu reports that one of the focuses with the remake project is to replicate the look of the original while making the move to 3D. Some areas will remain unaltered, including the number of enemies that appear in battle.

One-Fourth? What the HELL are they doing?

...It would be pretty bad-ass to sneak into Baron with a ship like Cecil and co. planned before Leviathan attacked. Or an added fight on the Airship with Kain before you go get the Earth Crystal. Just don't add any weird un-necessary characters to my cast and I'll be content. Unless Giott decides to come along for a bit. That'd be kind of cool.
