Next spring is starting to feel so far away, especially since we've seen
so much media on
Ring of Fates already. It's starting to feel as though we can cobble everything together and just pretend we have the full game ... and we're not sure if that makes the waiting easier or
harder. But we'll take what we can get and pretend to be happy. Just ignore our twiddling thumbs.
Famitsu has a new set of screenshots up, complete with a few details on the battle system -- racial factors contributing to attacks -- and all we can say is that it's a good thing we've got another
Square Enix RPG coming to tide us over.

Square Enix spent the morning revealing its lineup of "fresh new faces and timeless classics" that the company plans to exhibit this week at E3, attaching US release dates to its upcoming titles:
We're jumping on our beds with glee over the fact that we'll be receiving
Front Mission so early after the localization was announced, but several disappointing details failed to escape our attention --
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire,
It's a Wonderful World,
FFIV DS, and
Dragon Quest IX's absence; and
Ring of Fates' distant date. The multiplayer ARPG and its
DS Lite bundle are scheduled to hit Japan this August 23rd.

Another Square Enix game,
another special-edition DS Lite. SE seems to have set up a template for these: logo on the left, line art on the right,
money in the bank.
This time,
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates gets the special-edition treatment on a Crystal White DS Lite. For Japan, obviously. We like the pseudo-stained-glass look, which can be found in full color on the box. This new DS variant is
great news for people who were holding out on a DS purchase until the Japanese
Ring of Fates came out. It's probably a little irritating for Square Enix fans who already have a plain DS.

We've been clamoring for a proper follow-up to the
Seiken Densetsu series for over a decade now, and by the looks of the
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates videos we've seen so far, we might finally be getting one. The first
Crystal Chronicles entry on the GameCube was by no means disappointing, at least in our opinion, but hardware and link cable requirements made getting a group together much harder than we would've liked. Its handheld sequel seems free of those problems without losing that multiplayer
ARPG's cooperative fun.
Square Enix's latest
Ring of Fates clip demonstrates the teamwork involved in getting through the game's dungeon puzzles. Carrying around a huge block of wood can be difficult if someone isn't knocking back the enemies coming at you! Bring your crew past the post break for the short movie.

What did we do to deserve all this
recent news on
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates? Whatever it was, we should do it again ... a lot ... and with pretty much
every other game ever. Square Enix has not been at all shy lately when it comes to
Ring of Fates, and we're getting more and more interested in the story of fraternal twins Yuri and Cherinka. Now we're just hoping we can wrestle people into playing with us.
The latest
Famitsu was packed with
Ring of Fates tidbits -- see for yourself after the jump!

Square Enix may be a little stingy with that other
Crystal Chronicles, but they make up for it with all kinds of updates on the DS game
Ring of Fates. These newest screens go quite well with the action-packed
trailer that was released earlier this week. We've dropped them into the gallery below and hope to add more soon!
We know not everyone is pleased with
Square Enix lately. While a lot of DS owners are squealing in delight over all of the games headed to the handheld, some of you are a little
grumbly about remakes. We know that sometimes SE can go a little overboard, but look at it this way -- they're also loading up on the original content. And when the landscape is packed with great games, we, the gamers, can only
win.

If previous
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates clips have left you wanting, look no further than the multiplayer
ARPG's latest trailer from last week's
Square Enix party. The four-minute video has everything you could ever ask for -- story cutscenes, cooperative puzzles, touchscreen elements,
topless Selkies, hectic combat, boss fights, peanut butter jelly, and a baseball bat. Carry your bucket past the post break for the movie, but don't expect to get much use out of it.

And with it comes the juicy details. RPG site has some translated information from the scan, and we've scavenged the best bits here for you:
- The director of the game is Mitsuru Kamiyama, a coder for the original Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (nice promotion!), and Toshiyuki Itahana, character designer for FFIX, will be reprising that role for this game.
- Single player mode requires the player to swap between characters ala Lego Star Wars. We just hope it's less buggy.
- Ring of Fates will feature some voice acting, but will not have a fully voiced script.
