Blood of Bahamut

Blood of Bahamut is a new title in the works from Square Enix for the Nintendo DS. It is being developed by Think & Feel, the team who last created Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. As of yet there has been no reported connection to the earlier game, Bahamut Lagoon. Blood of Bahamut will feature real-time action. However, the developers urge that tactics and preparation are the keys to victory, rather than reflexes.

Story
Blood of Bahamut is set in cities built upon sleeping giants. At the beginning of the game (or before the game) the giants awaken, and try to kill the residents living on them. The giants appear to be references to Summons from the Final Fantasy series, with Bahamut, Ifrit, Shiva, Alexander, Fenrir, and Gilgamesh so far have been revealed.

Characters

 * Ibuki (イブキ): The male main protagonist armed with a sword.
 * Yui (ユイ ?): The female main protagonist with brown hair and armed with a polearm.
 * Kamos Ogrekin (カモーオウガ ,Kamosu Ogakin): A monstrous strongman who uses a warhammer.
 * Santiago (サンチアゴ): An eldery lycanthrope mage figure with a staff.
 * Ryuma (リュマ): A red-haired swordsman with a scar across his face.

Gameplay
Blood of Bahamut is a role-playing game in which up to four players battle giant beasts that are featured on both screens of the DS. It is also mission-based, with over 130 missions in total. In order to defeat a giant, players must first destroy its protective armor, then attack its "core," and finally attack its other body parts. The giants can summon smaller beasts, which the players must battle simultaneously. Defeating a giant's body parts and the smaller beasts will grant players "materials" which can be used to produce powerful weapons.
