|
| On
the island of Lospass, there sits a seaside resort unlike any other.
Flower, Sun, and Rain may be more apt as the title of a
National Geographic piece but amidst a tropical paradise, it's
the epitome of lavish surroundings and well-heeled relaxation.
Amenities galore, beautiful women, and modern contrivances are
it's other perks. Detective Kodai Sumio figures he's in for an
enjoyable couple of days at the resort but a host of pampered
guests and socialites alter his immediate destiny by badgering
him for help. Aided by a multi-purpose device called a
"Dial", Sumio-san divines the circumstances
surrounding a situation or a problem by using the gadget in
conjunction with the game manual which relates locations of
places and offers details on the people encountered in the game. An
additional feature of the "Dial" is the ability to
determine the nature or purpose of an object. Rendered in 3-D,
Flower, Sun, and Rain pleases the eye with it's fluid
animation and sumptuous graphics. The gameplay may be likened
to standard detective sims where clues are ferreted, folks
questioned, and point A must be visited before going to point
B. All in all, an enjoyable and unique game brimming with
interesting scenarios, characters, and puzzles to solve.

The proverbial evil Empire's on the rise and neighboring lands
and people are reduced to conquered fodder. Emperor Paramekia
and his demonic hordes lay waste to any village in opposition
with the power of the Warship, a mighty vessel, at their
beckoning. From this grim scenario, four siblings named
Frioniel, Guy, Lionheart, and Maria from the overrun village
of Phin join a rebellion to stop the scourge. Queen Hilda,
leader of the Resistance, and Prince Gordon provide beacons
for the young adventurers as they embark on an imposing
quest.
Originally released in 1988, Square's Wonderswan
powered re-issue of Final
Fantasy 2 improves on the original with enhanced graphical
stylings, sound, and swagger. Intricately detailed towns and
inner rooms sparkle with cobblestone roads, tiled houses, and
spot illumination. Character artwork follows the familiar
super-deformed renderings and vibrant sound samples whistle
eerily through the WSC's speakers. Click
for Square's website on the Final Fantasy II re-release,
characters, drama, and improvements made in the new release. A
close-up of the carrying strap included in the special edition
of the game may also be viewed on Square's site. In stock US$53.

| The
bulk of this Bandai/Square offering weighs firmly in the white
colored Wonderswan Color embossed with a silhouette figure of
the hero Frioniel on the upper-left portion of the unit. The
upper right part of the unit proclaims "And, we meet in
the truth." in blue lettering. A copy of Final Fantasy II
gives you something to play with on your new portable gaming
machine; both items are packed in a glossy, sleek box. Square
includes an added enticement inside the packaging in the form
of a beautifully appointed FF2 Premium Strap which features a
metal rose pendant and beads. Connections are provided for
keys, cellphone, or you can wrap the strap around your wrist.
Perhaps priceless in some circles but priced at US$135 per
package. Pre-orders ship today, new orders are welcome through
the NCS online
store.
