The game will be a full 3D remake of the original 1990 Gameboy game and will offer a new gameplay. It will be released this year in Japan for Nintendo DS

This game got my attention, but is this really a FF game?

oh my [tornado fang]ing god

Yes! The GB SaGa games were great! I'd care more about SaGa 3, but this is the next best!

Great news for me!

No. It's more like Nintendo thought that everything that all RPG's were supposed to be named Final Fantasy for some reason. After all, Seiken Densetsu was called Final Fantasy Legend in the US. And this game is obviously not a Seiken Densetsu game, regardless of it being called Final Fantasy Legend 2 in the US.

It was for marketing.

^ correct :3

In Japan, the biggest fame was Dragon Quest. The rest of the world, Final Fantasy.
To make sure the company would get the big dime of fortunes, they called the SaGa series Final Fantasy.
It wasn't until the Playstation that they decided to release the games in their proper names.
That's why they re-released FF(3) on the SNES as FF(6) later, so the gap between it and FF7 wouldn't be confusing.

Just goes to show you, kids. Marketing is the route of all evil and confusion in the video game industry.

Not marketing. Money is.

Hmm, interesting, but still doesn't hit me yet.

I'll keep an eye on it!
