Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

Hikari no 4 Senshi Final Fantasy Gaiden (光の４戦士 ファイナルファンタジー外伝, Hikari no 4 Senshi Fainaru Fantajī Gaiden, lit. "Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Side Story") is a "gaiden" or "spin-off" from the main Final Fantasy series, to be released for the Nintendo DS console. The game is the second to be released with the Final Fantasy Gaiden subtitle in Japan, after Seiken Densetsu ~Final Fantasy Gaiden~ (which had been released as Final Fantasy Adventure in North America), though the two games have no relations to each other. Character design is done by Akihiko Yoshida, and the development team of Final Fantasy IV DS are all returning to work on the title. While the four Warriors of Light have their default names, the player can name them at the beginning of the game, similar to Final Fantasy II.

Gameplay
Gameplay will follow normal RPG fare, though MP is absent. Random encounters will return, and the battle system is turn-based, reminiscent to the first three Final Fantasy games on the Famicom. It is reported that changing equipment will radically change character appearance. The game will also use a new variation of the Job System called the "Crown System".

Confirmed jobs include Warrior, White Mage, Black Mage, Thief, Knight, Beastmaster, and Ninja, and new additions Vagabond, Chronicler, and Poet.

It is also reported that there will be a wireless co-op mode, where up to four players can play.

Setting
The story begins with a fourteen-year old boy named Brand, being recruited by the King of Horun to save his daughter, the Princess Carino, from the Witch of the North. Though the exact circumstances for this are unknown, during his travels he joins up with three other adventurers, fulfilling the traditional requirements for the "Warriors of Light".

As illustrated in the picture, the four main characters have been shown riding a dragon. The one in front holding the sword is Brand, the blond girl behind him is Princess Carino's younger sister, Aire, the ponytail brunette soldier is Unita, and Jusqua is the last child, holding the staff.
