Final Fantasy IV: The After Years confirmed for Wii

A few months ago I brought news on the possibility of Square Enix's mobile game sequel to Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, heading to the Nintendo Wii or DS. Square Enix have now announced it for the Nintendo Wii.

In what was only speculation months ago has now become pure fact. Square Enix's mobile game Final Fantasy IV: The After Years has now been confirmed for the Nintendo Wii, with a chance of it heading to WiiWare.

With not much known about this Japanese only mobile title the following blurb has been released about the game. "This is a 2D role-playing game in which players embark on an adventure involving magical crystals and a mysterious kingdom. Players traverse across a field map or through dungeons and can enter into turn-based battles along the way. Players use a menu screen to select attacks or magic spells against tiny enemies (e.g., leopards, birds, knights, fish monsters, etc.) that blink and disappear when defeated. An item called "Bacchus Wine" is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle."

It is not yet known whether Square Enix plan to release it only in Japan like they did the mobile version of the title or if they will localise the game internationally so the title sells more.

  Porting a 2D cell phone game onto Wii? I would like to see more of "Final Fantasy", but isn't this taking a step back on the technology?

  It's going to be a WiiWare title so there's no need to push the tech especially with a 40Mb file capacity.
