A fluff-tacular Final Fantasy III trailer

By Ross Miller

Game Brink is hosting the official Final Fantasy III trailer, a remake of the original FF III on the DS. The entire 2-minute trailer consists of approximately 10 seconds of total gameplay footage. The majority of the trailer is pre-rendered CG and self-promoting hype. here's how the trailer breaks down:

  • 0:00 to 0:36 — Fluff text, decreeing this game as "The only Final Fantasy that never reached Western shores."
  • 00:37 to 00:45 — hand-drawn artwork from the game.
  • 00:46 to 1:19 — Some beautiful CG work of the main characters riding Chocobos alongside a rising airship.
  • 1:20 to 1:31 — Actual gameplay footage.
  • 1:31 to 1:37 — More CG, including our heros facing off against a giant Cerberus-style beast.
  • 1:38 to 2:00 — More fluff text: "Complete the Fantasy."

To be fair, the CG video was impressive and what we see of the gameplay we like. Final Fantasy III is due out late this year.
