For those of you unaware, Square-Enix's support of the Nintendo DS is ramping up very quickly. Not only did they announce Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Egg Monster Heroes and Dragon Quest Monsters several months ago, but is has recently been confirmed that the DS will recieve the very first American release of Final Fantasy 3, the only FF game never to have been officially released in the States. The game will apparently be an updated remake, much like the FF Origins versions of FF1 and 2. Within the last few days, Nintendo and Square held a joint press conference to confirm the strengthening of their portable relationship, which is where these details have come from.

One very interesting point to make note of, however, is that during the course of this conference, Square's Akitoshi Kawazu made some very telling comments that hint at yet another Final Fantasy game in the works for the DS. The odd thing is that his comments were mostly in regards to the wireless LAN capabilities of the machine and how this possible other Final Fantasy game might take advantage of them.

Here's where the speculation comes in. Crystal Chronicles has already been announced and it has been confirmed that wireless LAN will be the focus of the multiplayer aspect. Aside from that game, the only announced game that Square is currently working on that boasts wireless interactivity is this one.

I mentioned this game to you guys months ago, and the expected angry replies came in droves. If this is the "other" Final Fantasy game Square is working on for the DS, let's see a show of hands as to who will be buying one.
