Nintendo DS Video | Final Fantasy III Trailer

19.05.2006

Square Enix has released a gorgeous trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy III for DS and we just had to nab it to show you guys. The video demonstrates a very high level of quality and design, as expected from the developer, with some brand new in-game scenes and the much talked about FMV sequences.

Final Fantasy III DS is a remake of the original classic on the NES, boasting a complete graphical overhaul in the character design, overworld presentation and the incredibly gorgeous rendered FMV scenes.

Apologies for the slight rendering errors in the video.

Be sure to also check out the recent FFIII scans.

Stick with C3 for future updates!

Hell yeah, I want this game also - looks like a very, very cool title! Hopefully with projects like this for the DS we'll also get our fair share of FFs for the Wii!

The question is what part of him will explode first.

I was sold when I saw the ship. That's an amazing scene. When you've got an openmind, Square Enix can really make some magic, can't they?

I recon if they can pump FF3 in graphics like this on the DS, they surely could go upto FF7, Thatd be a bigseller.

Final Fantasy VII on Nintendo DS would just not work. You have multiple CDs with Final Fantasy VII so any form of port would deem impossible on a DS game card.

How Much Data exactally does a DS game cartridge hold ?.

I recon with the was data storage is going now it could be done.FF7 is three disks with 700 mb on each so 2.1 gig is needed. Heres a look at the future

Raff 20.05.2006#17

DS carts are 1 gigabit, so 128megabytes or so.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Tim~Tam 20.05.2006#18

Pity, its a Quality play

Raff 20.05.2006#19

The thing is though, with multi-disc games the majority of the data is duplicated on each disc. In Shenmue for example, the only significant differences between the discs are the voice samples.

The Xbox version of Shenmue 2 has 4 seperate partitions on the DVD for each GD-ROM, as it was easier just to chuck it all on the massive DVDs than recompile the game and remove all the duplicate data.

So FF7 could be reduced enormously from 2.1gb if the developers could be arsed. PS1 FF games are a bit different though as the pre-rendered backgrounds are the major cause of multiple discs being required, and they are often different from disc to disc as many areas are blocked off.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

There's also the matter of huge FMV sequences that drove the story along, which could be better compressed using the tools on-hand nowadays.

And I'm sat here with a goddamn major hangover, but my mouth dropped open after seeing that! I TOLD people that if SEx could manage small FMV clips for Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories on the humble GBA it'd definitely do better for the DS!! Hooray for inevitabilities!

I love the tagline about completing the fantasy...that should do it justice in the US where people will be confused between this and FFIII US (which is actually the SNES game FFVI...coming to GBA later this year).

Is there any reason that we couldn't have multiple carts for DS? I realise it would take about 20 cartridges to fit a game the size of FFVII, but I'm sure developers could achieve this if they could be bothered to. It probably would cost more for a multiple cart game, but not much more, not enough for someone to be put off from buying a AAA quality game.

Raff 20.05.2006#22

I'd much rather have a new version adapted from the N64 version. It would sell better too and possibly be good, unlike the PS1 version.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

James2t3 20.05.2006#23

N64 version never existed it was just a tech demo to show how they were planning to make fight scenes in 3D.
It probably wouldn't sell better either cause it would be called somthin like Final Fantasy 64 Dragoon of doom or somthin and people would turn there nose up at it.

It would be super collectable though, and probably reached planning stages.

It was actually turned into FF7 Smilie
