Square-Enix Announces Two New Final Fantasy WiiWare Titles

the screens for darklord look amazing the website also has some stuff up! im super excited about BOTH of these games

Sounds kind of like Darklord is a Tower Defense game. That strikes me as odd, given that we're probably getting Crystal Defenders too. I guess one is in the FFCC setting and one is in the FFTA setting, though...

I thought this was announced earlier at GDC. Why'd it take so long to get its own article? Just wondering.

Anyway, can't wait for The After Years, and Darklord might be good after I finally download and play My Life as a King.

here is a link for some screens of darklord incase anyone cares.

it looks quite different from both crystal defenders and my life as a king. actually those two games put together can explain how darklord looks. it's like a hybrid of those two i cannot wait for this game seriously

I'm putting up screenshots as we speak. We've been a bit busy today shooting game play videos, capturing screenshots, and reviewing the 4 new Arcade releases on the Virtual Console today.

We'll have more screenshots soon.

cool i havent seen the years after screenshots yet. it thought id would be 3d like the remake on ds.

Is it just me or does that tower look like it has a giant pair of boobs on the top?

Well now it does.

Life as a Darklord...... keeping an eye on this one.

Its actually set in a tower for once. You have to give it that

I hope FFIV: The After Years isn't too episodic...

That would be Herzlos not Herzios .. but thanks for the mention and yay for Final Fantasy

I will definitely be getting My Life as a Darklord on day one.

I had my doubts about The After Years since it was on a cell phone, but the screens look like it stays true to the FFIV formula. Should be good.
And if I ever get the new update to install, I might even get Darklord since I'll have the space for it, though I haven't played the sequel.

I thought it was heart shaped because she was a female darklord.
Shows what you have on your mind...

This is gonna be sweet love FFIV really enjoyed my life as king!

i am looking froward to the games its nice to see square finally getting into the wii

I want both of those.

I hope they release IV on VC soon, I haven't played it...

Yeah, nice boatlights. Still looks like a boy to me though.

Well, I should probably get around to trying Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life As A King, first. Some DSi FFCC titles would also be nice aswell.

Darklord looks cool I love crystal bearers on the xbox and ipod so a new FF tower defence game will be a must, especially with some nice looking graphics and a little deeper game play.

A bit late Corbie

But anyway, is it me or is SE trying to push RTS? First eh Crystal Defenders, now this.

As I said, we're a bit busy here at the moment.

Wow screenshots for both.
I be getting them both I'm a bit final fantasy fan.
@KDR-11k thanyou for placing a weird mental image in my head.

Both games look quite good. S-E just might recapture my attention.

life as a darklord looks pretty sweet, kinda like a 3 d tower defence. I was kinda hoping u caould fite 2 though, like locks quest but it still looks good, im keepin my eye on this and swords + soilders

could this be saying that the Crystal Bearers is coming even sooner?

Koto, I sure hope so. I have been waiting for that with little news for the last 2 years.

@Corbie: Ah. I see. Trying to still get "ZEROpwns.com" up. I see. Carry on

Crooked cucumbers; I wanted to play as the Dark Mister!
...
Then again, the Dark Mister being playable as a second playthrough/epilogue is possible.

By the way, did not one of the directors want to play as the Dark Mister?

The Darklord game sounds kind of like a final fantasy-ish Tecmos Deception. I like interesting sounding games like this, and if its as fun as My Life as King,im definetly getting it

@Wiiloveit: I just did finally get it, and it's GREAT so far! I wish I could've downloaded it when it released 10 months ago, but it looked way too big without the storage solution. It exceeded my expectations, anyway.

@Corbie: This is horribly off-topic, and apologies for that, but I saw your name on GameFAQs today while I was looking for Neutopia info. It was a pleasent surprise to see a guide submitted by a guy I know from a different site. A darn good one, too! Not that it answered my question, since I'm trying to find info on an overworld thing (which no guide I've seen covers in sufficient detail). If you don't mind my asking here (and if you can actually think of it off-hand), is there actually any way to reunite that lady in the underworld sphere with her son on the land sphere? It's REALLY bugging me because I can't find anything about it online! Thanks if you can help, understood if you can't.
