This can't be true, surely? That'd mean they worked on it for 2-3 years! For a remake! And why would they already begin advertising for it when it won't be out for at least another 6 months?
Or, do you mean Square Enix is aiming for a late 2006 release in Europe?
Soon we can comment on this ya!?!

Sorry about that; meant "Summer 2006". Thanks for pointing that out!

Ah, yes...it all makes sense now!
Still, it seems a bit early; spring has just started a month ago. Oh, they are probably aiming for an early summer 2006 release.

Love the graphical style, very CCesque and considering that's my only FF game and I love it, this should be worth buying.

Clarkman, you should take note that CC was a hack and slash game, and this is a true RPG, so you might reconsider 
I'm definitely buying this though, I need some good FF-ing after the misbreed(imo) that was FF:CC.

well, the way I read it was more like he thought FF3 was the same style as FFCC, but it's not, so I was just pointing that out to him

Ah right, but it does seem like having a similar graphical style to Crystal Chronicles (which I love also) in some of the character designs and artwork imo.

Well in anycase this will be a proper FinalFantasy so it automatically wees all over FFCC.

In my opinion, FFCC is the by far the weakest Final Fantasy game I've ever played. The less like FFCC this remake is, the better.

This remake is almost exactly like the original FF3, so it's gonna be better
I actually felt hurt by FF:CC, such beautiful graphics, and such a flawed(again, imo) game design... One example that graphics aren't everything. I'm glad that the FF3 remake has the same style, and it still looks so beautiful...*drools*
They should have made a traditional FF RPG with the graphical quality of FF:CC... That would be so awesome...*drools even more*
Ah, it's 1:15 AM, time for Mad Max

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was really only ever going to be any good if you had 4 GBAs, 4 connector players and 4 people with which to regularly play the game. For the vast majority of people the game would've stank of Chocobo turd.
The more I see and hear of FF3, the more interested I become in it. The FFVII/IX visuals also make a more than welcome return.

Lol, does stink now. We had the ultimate setup! Sue's cousins have a phat ass HD-TV, a GC, 2GBAs etc... and I had the other two GBAs... mutliplayer madness. Anyway, one day after we'd all gotten through the game with the plug exention about to explode (all four GBAs were charging), one of her cousins tries a "let's swap the memory card" trick... not good. As I wasn't there at the time my character's the only one surviving on their memory card
Anyway... returning to topic, it does look very very sweet.
I was looking for videos the other day and can't find anything. Anyone seen this gem in action?

I go on about it I know but I'm so looking forward to the revamped music. One of the best game music came from FF3 back in them days. I'll buy this even just to listen to the town theme.

never really was into final fantasy. Last one i played has got to be 7 and that was it.
Might look into buying this gem of a game.

It looks ultramazing!! The 2nd most beautiful looking game on DS, & it could be the FIRST most, considering we havn't seen much of ASH at all.
& for all those who should know (everyone) I though FF:CC was an awesome game, no big flaws in my opinion, except maybe the fact that the story was so weak, but apart from that I loved it to death, I still go back every now & then. I WOULD be glad to see an FF on Nintendo with more of an FFX/FFVII style though, as FFIII & CC seem to have a bit of a childish style. (HHM, I WONDER WHY!?!? :sarcy Well, that's just my view, it may not look childish to others.
Anywhoo, I'm looking forward to having a 3D FF game on a Nintendo system!!
One day I will be a real life anime.

Childish? Hardly. CC is immense in terms of graphics - sure the characters are young, and it does seem upbeat in places but it's definitely not one to dismiss because of its happier tone.
Seems to really ooze quality in presentation, character design etc. With Wi-Fi (whatever features it is) it's definitely gonna be one to buy.

The story wasn't weak at all! If you've done some research and listen to the conversation you might find some interesting informations about the black knight and his past attempt to defeat the final boss which he failed so he became a souless being also his own son kills him!
There some other things about the black knight and his caravan crew that I forgot about but its really interesting it also involved how this maisma thing came in the first place.
You found the word nipple! And you love touching them!

Yeah i don't think it looks like that just cause it's on a Nintendo console, FF9 looked pretty similer.
For a Final Fantasy game thats pretty weak, and the random encounters wasn't a great way of telling the story.
