A young boy is awoken by his sister, “Wake up! The King is waiting for you!” Only in the playful world of old Final Fantasy lore can a young boy be beckoned by a King, let alone be late for said appointment. Right away the demo began playing off my nostalgia. Setting off on a grand, dangerous adventure as a young naïve adolescent is what dreams are made of, but the game was also improving and expanding upon it. The art style takes beautiful games on the DS a step further. Lush environments and character models immersed me in a strange yet familiar world, and, right when I started to believe I knew exactly what this game was about, I was introduced to the new gameplay mechanics.
