Final Fantasy III figures on the way
Let them battle it out down the back of the sofa
It doubtless has more to do with commerce than anything else, but at least Square Enix can argue its solid little Final Fantasy III figures tie in with the newly-3D status of the DS game.
The DS overhaul saw designer Akihiko Yoshida reworking the game's originally 2D playable characters into a volumeric form, and now, in turn, that's resulted in the Trading Arts Mini set.
It consists of five figures. You get Luneth in his initial freelance outfit, Arc decked out as a red mage – that's a low level job type that can use white and black magic – and Ingus in his knight armour.
Refia, however, comes in two advanced job costumes – well she is the only lady in the group. There's the cute Devout cape (check out those big ears), and our favourite, the spiky Dragoon.
For some reason Square Enix has dropped two figures – Refia as magus and dark knight – from the set that will be available in Europe.
Price and exact release date are also still to be confirmed, but we'd expect the Trading Arts Minis to arrive sometime in May at a price of around £25. In the meantime, read our review of the game.
