So Square Enix has thrown up a countdown site in Moon Language.

http://www.bahamut.jp/

It is apparently for a new DS game called Blood of Bahamut

And now there are some scans from some magazine of a game which looks entirely different (and is for the DS)

    Bahamut Lagoon is the only thing I think of. Here's hoping.

    Apparently, Square-Enix has trademarked the name "Blood of Bahamut" recently. And no one online seems to know what the teaser site is all about. :-P

    EDIT: Bah, beat by the OP!

    Doesn't look like anything Bahamut Lagoon related. But Square-Enix has been doing some strange things with their Final Fantasy IP as of late. Stranger than Chocobo Dungeon. I mean, just look at Dissidia.

    Hmmm...the face on the city reminds me ever so slightly of "White Knight Story." Wistful thinking, I'm sure.

    It clearly says a sidescrolling shooter featuring Bahamut as the star.

    Well if it were based on an existing property I would think that the internet would be able to figure it out from the music or the picture or someone would have translated the kanji and guessed it by now

    So ... it's a new IP? From Square-Enix?

    That can't be it

    If only. Those are games that haven't aged well, at this point you are better off just listening to the still great soundtracks.

    My Japanese isn't very good (although my kanji deciphering is nice thanks to being fluent in Chinese), but even with my limited Japanese, it's very obvious that this is a countdown to a Blood of the Bahamut announcement what with the whole Bahamuuto no (Kanji for blood) that started the first sentence on the website.

    I remember there was a rumor going around a while back that it would be an expansion for Final Fantasy XI

    But it's pretty obvious it's not, now

    And you have no idea how depressed I am about that one D:
