I haven't heard any details, but adding in a new ability system seems like a good move. IV's gameplay is terribly outdated for RPGs and I think if they made something kind of like IX it could work really well. Also I hope the expansion of the story is significant since you'll need time to develop abilities and last time I completed IV in about 17 hours. I'm really looking forward to this game, it reminds me that I need to get a job lol.

I agree. I love IV, but if it's going to compete from a game play standpoint it needs to evolve. Though I don't think IV's new skill system will be very deep, I believe it should be enough to appease the newer fans who are used to having some level of customization.

I am curious to know if their might be class restrictions... somehow I don't see Rydia or Rosa making use of Yang's skills. Nor can I imagine the game allowing Paladin Cecil to be able to use Black Magic (or heaven forbid his Dark Wave attack).

Gameplay sounds intriguing, but personally I'm still more psyched about the new scenario. I recently purchased a copy of FFIV Advance and like the rest of the Advance series, the new localization has really changed the game for the better.

Wouldn't you rather have a few surprises to look forward to? The game's new features and improvements won't be all that interesting if we know all of them before it even comes out.

Your link doesn't seem to work, so just in case, I uploaded the 2 new scans on my maj gallery as well:

But the white dudes? No idea.

I'm confused about the view of battle. So how will it be? Side view like traditional game? Back view, like in III DS? Both?

But it still looks good, and the clearer pictures of Rydia in-game make me happy. Looks better now that I see it in better detail.

EDIT: I think the second scan shows Edge in the bottom-left sreenshot.

EDIT2: GASP! Seems like there's a release date in those scans. Apparently the game is to be released on 20 december.

You can see Rydia standing before Bahamut's throne--neat.

The little white dudes are called Pooshka, I heard.

And yeah, December 20th in Japan. Still no word on a NA or Europe release.

And if you look closely at Yang, you can see he has smilies on his pants. xD

I didn't notice that... my eyes were glued on Rydia.
