More Info
Also Known As: Final Fantasy Gaiden, Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light, Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden
Exclusively on: Nintendo DS
Genre: RPG
Publisher: Square Enix

ESRB Rating: E10+
There's a brand-new Final Fantasy on the DS, although you might mistake it for a Harvest Moon game, as they share very similar art styles. However, there's no farming here -- this is straight-up old-school Japanese role-playing game, complete with a four-member party, random battles, and turn-based combat.

About this Game

Final Fantasy Gaiden Box Art
In the small kingdom of Horne, Brandt awakes on the morning of his 14th birthday. Today is the day he becomes an adult, and the custom of the realm says that he must go to the castle to present himself to the king. Yet when he arrives at the castle, he finds the king distraught and the youngest princess missing, abducted by the Witch of the North. With no one else to turn to, the king makes a shocking request: will Brandt save the princess? And thus Brandt's adventure begins ...

With both single and multiplayer modes, the game challenges players to take on the roles of four endearing characters who do not always see eye to eye. The multiplayer mode allows up to four players to work together and become the Heroes of Light as they travel alongside their friends on a journey to save the world.

In addition, The 4 Heroes of Light features the Action Point Combat System that allows players to unleash their most powerful attacks by saving up their action points during battle. Players will also have over 20 jobs to choose from and dozens of abilities to master with the Crown Job System - a system that also changes the appearance of characters as they are equipped with new weapons and armor.
