Final Fantasy IV: The After Years...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_F...he_After_Years

This has me all kinds of excited, like a little kid again. Giddy. Though it might not have been the best RPG I've ever played (I probably reserve that honor for Ultima VII: The Black Gate), Final Fantasy IV (or "Final Fantasy II" as it was when it first came out on SNES) is certainly my favorite RPG, the one fondest to me. What a fantastic game that was for a 10 year-like me to play... of moons and Paladins and Dark Knights, a giant whale you can fly through space in... love, betrayal, and man what a happy ending that was.

What we have now is a game with the same SNES-like FF IV engine with cleaner graphics and text set 17 years later, same world, same characters, same (if improved) battle system and all that. The main character is Cecil's son, but it looks like you get to party with all of the (now older) main cast from FF IV.

It'll be downloadable on 6/1.

This may be worth buying a Wii over for me.
