Story

Four elemental Crystals, each possessing awesome power, lie scattered throughout the realm. However, men are quick to covet things which offer such strength, and they are easily corrupted by the might which they possess...

Seduced by the promised power of the Crystals, the kingdom of Baron begins employing unprovoked force to seize them from peaceful nations. The dark knight Cecil – Lord Captain of Baron’s elite force, the Red Wings – is ordered by his king to obtain the Crystals, but soon begins to question the monarch's motives. Stricken with grief at his own actions, yet burdened by his loyalty to his country and his personal sense of honor, Cecil at last decides to turn from the path of darkness and destruction.

Enraged, the king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist. Cecil embarks on a fateful journey that will bring trials, betrayals, friendship, loss and self-discovery. Can Cecil open his eyes and become the man of honor that he must be?

Wow, that release snuck up on everyone, including Square marketing. The game showed up a week ago!

Nice to see there's a difficulty slider. Those are far too rare in JRPGs.

They announced it today? It's been on Steam since last week.

Great game for its time though. It was my favorite RPG for awhile when I was younger. I prefer the original SNES/PS1 version over this 3D remake though.

Man, just reading a bit about the game makes me want to play it. What a fantastic RPG that was.
 
Not one of the best FF's in my opinion, but it was not bad either... I much prefer the original 2d graphics though! Love the cut-scenes however.... guess I'll watch those on youtube :D

I wish they would combine the best of both.. forks. The 2D remake on the PSP includes sequel content (originally on phones then the Wii) and new content between the sequel content and the original content, but none of that is in any of the 3D versions. I'm guessing the 3D versions have extra content as well, but I don't really know. It's just sad because I'd like to replay the game, but I don't know which way to go.
