Final Fantasy Gaiden: The Four Warriors of Light has been announced for DS by Square Enix. It will be released this Fall in Japan.

The game is not a remake of the original Final Fantasy but is instead a spin-off which stars a teenage protagonist who is summoned to rescue the princess of his kingdom from a witch by the king on his 14th birthday. Deep stuff I know.

Very little information was released on the game Although it is clear from screenshots and artwork that it will be in 3D like the two previous core Final Fantasy DS games (Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV) and the in-game art style looks similar to those titles.

Like past classic Final Fantasy games players can have a party of four characters and the game is menu driven. Another feature of the game has you meeting new characters depending on what weapons and armors you have equipped. A “Charge” command will also replace the traditional “MP – Magic Points” system seen in previous games.
