It's been confirmed as an "enhanced port," which means it'll be along the lines of the GBA FFs. There's a new dungeon, and some dual screen talk going on, but not much in the way of a graphical overhaul. Here's a Famitsu scan, found on www.ffinsider.com: http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ctds1uu0.jpg

Actually, isn't that a S-Jump scan...? See the pirate dude? Also, are you so sure those are screens from the new DS version...? I wonder...if it is, why not show both screens?
What these guys said
Toriyama may clone his own style over and over and get paid tons for it, but at least he never makes his characters emo. And yes, they translate wonderfully into cell-shaded graphics. Not to mention you can see WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP at the bottom. And yeah, those are SNES screens. I would be inclined to say the scene of Magus's castle was featuring the dual screen, only there's no line through it. Whoever translated it as Famitsu failed. And if it was talking about a new dungeon, I would think it only natural to show a picture of it.
Uh, the mention of the new dungeon doesn't come from the scan, but from the press release.

Well that would explain it
I'll be interested to see what time period this dungeon is in. Personally I'd love if it was in the Dark Ages, or the future. I wonder if they might make new endings too? That would be kind of cool. Whoops, it's S-Jump. A lot of those mags kinda blur together for me...
It's all moonspeak to me

The countdown has finished and now there's a small vid up showing that it is indeed a port. No changes as of yet on the US site.

Many, many brix were shat. I can't believe it's coming out so soon O_O I wasn't expecting it to hit Japan this year, so I guess us Amerifags will be getting it in the summer of '09.
Anyone here know moonspeak? I can read what it said on the vid, but my vocabulary sucks.
From what I've heard it's going to hit both Japan & NA at the same time, but anyways...Here's the new bits of that "trailer" translated by or from Ichiro78 on GameFAQs...
That "featuring a new system" bit sounds the most intriguing to me...I also found it interesting that they used only Toriyama art and none of the new character art from TOEI from the PSX release...

Woah, a simultaneous release? That's big news in and of itself. Thanks much for the translation too.
Yeah...I wonder how that system is gonna work. I liked CT's battle system alot, so I hope they don't screw it up. What's this other art you speak of, the stuff they used for the cutscenes? I thought that was done by Toriyama too. Or maybe it was someone else who duplicated his style, it's easy enough to do.
Because they're Japanese xD
When you think about it shouldn't be too difficult if the game had been previously translated and released in the US. No mention of Europe is a bit of a worry, we better not be screwed over this again.
The thing that comes to mind is something like the Pokemon games where you have one screen where the battle is taking place and the touch screen for inputting commands and having the party members status etc. I can't seeing them completely changing how the game worked.
Gods, I hope they don't throw that Woosley'd mess of a script back at us again...V_V
Well, not only the anime cut scenes, but also the character art in the instruction booklet were done by the animation studio TOEI (they also handled a majority of the DBZ series that wasn't done by Toriyama himself, I believe).
But, yeah, it's Marl for the same reason that it's Chrono with an H.
In the "trailer", you'll notice that the battle scenes don't show the menu...I'm guessing that's going to be in the other screen (it was always a nuesense anyways, getting in the way of the action)...But I don't think that's enough to warrent the phrase, "new system", really...

Ah, I actually wouldn't mind that.
Ohhh, that art. Okay, if it's TOEI that did then it's no wonder I thought it Toriyama himself.
Lawds, that was annoying. I was constantly moving the battle menu up and down, and both were terrible. The bottom blocked your characters most of the time, and the top would block your enemies
I noticed that as well. I think that techically it can be called a new system since it's different to how it was done before. It would only really be wrong it it labelled it as an original system.
Ah, I just caught this & remembered why...In the original version her formal name isn't "Nadia", but Marledia (or some equivalent spelling)...When she tells Crono her name, she's basically catching her slip up because she almost tells him her real name, when she's trying to actually pass off as a commoner.
If anyone's interested in translation differences, you can find them HERE.
But if it's supposed to be Marl, why didn't they keep it as Marl in the fan re-translation? I looked at the script on the site and Marle's dialogue in the Japanese script said "マル” or Marl next to it.

This sounds uber cool, finally a reason to go get my DS from my cuz. I also hope they dont change any to crazy. And of course it would be cool to get some added content, maybe a new destenation to go to? Anyway sounds awesome and cant wait for it.
