The DS is playing host to a better and wider range of RPG than current gen consoles at the moment isn’t it?! The next game in the Crystal chronicles series will be the DS outing Ring of fates. This game promises to be much more plot driven, have a stronger narrative and be less repetitive than it’s GameCube predecessor.

The original Crystal chronicles shouldn’t have been released on the GameCube in the first place. What Square Enix were trying to achieve with that game was always going to be better suited to a system such as the DS. I’m sure some gamers out there had 3 friends who each had a GameBoy Advance and a link cable, but I sure as hell didn’t.

Still. Better late than never. Check out the link below to watch an extensive video of the game in action. It looks hawt!

Witness the sexiness: Final Fantasy Crystal chronicles: Ring of fates

Ring of fates is released in Japan on August 23 and will release in the US sometime in 2008. Which means it probably won’t see the light of day across Europe until 2010. 2009 if European gamers are lucky. We all know that Japanese developers are in no rush to get games out to Europe. *rolls eyes and then frowns*
