The official site has been updated with new character videos of Yang, Edward and Rydia. Note that the Jeux-france link is missing the SECOND Rydia video, which shows Rydia as an adult. To see that one, you'll need to go to the official site I fear.

the use of the camera for cut scenes looks great... hopefully the battles are as well done as the storytelling promises to be.

It was also good to hear the battle theme kick up for the yang scene....

Agreed, the battle theme still sounds good

Man, I can't wait for this game to come out, and for a good DS emulator and a ROM to appear This game just looks so cool, so nice. So far, I love every moment I've seen of it. ^^ Even the lack of FMVs during the playthrough won't ruin my impression, I think, because of the nicely done cutscenes.

Those videos are awesome. I really like the new versions of the FFIV songs.

What I'm really hoping for eventually is the translation of the lyrics to the Theme of Love Song. (or even better having the lyrics of that song translated in the English Version)

Here's a new Creator's Voice whateverish, all in Japanese, so no good for those of us who can't understand Japanese. Howeve, this site contains many videos of the game, including Golbez' grand entrance in Fabul, battle footage, naming way (he can still change names it seems) and other stuff. You can also hear the in-game music in the videos, so it's worth to check it all out.

It's interesting that bosses have a different battle-view than normal random encounters...

Creator's Voice

Oh yeah, lastly, Famitsu gave the game 9/9/8/9, or 35/40. Not bad eh?

Final Fantasy IV

Famitsu has reviewed the game and her is a translation from NeoGAF.com:

9/9/8/9

Changes are on a massively different scale than the GBA port.
3dification makes it seem almost a different game.
Lower-screen map is very easy to read.
Upgrades in event direction are great.
Variety introduced in upgrading characters through Decant Ability is really good
New episodes added, but the main plot is about the same.
Auto-Battle makes combat easy
Change of viewpoint for boss battles increases the effect.
"Portica"-raising minigames are also on there.
Portica are the Pohchika mentioned in previous post.

Where? I clicked all the links, and all I saw was a TV commercial and a trailer... Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

There's links in the texts. It's easy to see, they are yellow and have a grey box in front of them with a play-button on it.

Oh. Thanks ^^
I'll edit this post once I've seen them.

Edit: The videos are great I love the music, makes me feel nostalgic...
Too bad that I couldn't understand a thing they said... but the voices were great
I hope English dub voices will be as good as Japanese... Or that there'll be an option for Japanese voicing with English subtitles. Now that would be great
I definately want to play this game.

The best news here is that they are introducing more variety in the ability system. One of the FFIV's main problems was that the class system was complete inflexible. Combined with the fact that you end up using the same 5 characters at the end no matter what, there wasn't a whole lot of variety when it came to stratagy. Even if you still can't change party members at the end (which is a little strange since they allowed it in the GBA version, abet in a half-assed manner) if you can choose which characters inherit which abilities it should substantially increase the replay value.
