seems like square enix will give some love to wii after all. i hope we will see it at TGS. Marvellous are fast becoming one of the best japaneese developers for wii, especially in terms of RPGs

Looks good. Its been a while since I sat with a SE rpg. might be a good time when these come out

Now we have a battle Royale for RPG domincance brewing between the consoles.

i see it as a good thing, last gen the ps2 had manopoly on rpg's, this gen we have some balance.

i just relised just how many JRPGs are coming to wii next year

Wow.

They're porting a DS game to the Wii?

WoW!!

both look great, especially the 2nd one!

why not?, wii already got ports from almost every console, square just felt the DS was being left out of the wii porting party

@ word of wisdom

maybe there porting the wii game to DS. i dont know how the DS/ wii conetivity will work though. unless the wii version has DS graphics

You sure that is a new FF game. it says FF crystal cronical : Echoes of Time not just echoes of time. It maybe new or it maybe a name change becuase the mechanics of the original game has changed. hopefully its a new game and just very different from the first one that has been lined up for the wii.
