Famitsu came out with some new information on FF5 last week. I see some of it has been integrated into the wiki entry here, but I thought I'd post this for anyone who missed it so they can see all the original details and images.

We have 5 characters, and it looks like some of them have unique special abilities. Apparently you will be tasked with finding different people that have gone missing on the mountain. I get the impression each missing person will be its own "mission" and you will get to choose which one you want to focus on, and after completing a certain number of missions you will go on to the next chapter? If so, I like this idea. Giving the player 3 or 4 tasks to complete but allowing them to choose the order in which they do so, I think is a nice way to provide the illusion of a bigger world while keeping a cohesive and deep story.

Also the multiple locations is exciting. I like that the antique shop is a location. I assume it will be "home base" like Rei's apartment in FF3. I hope there is a cat.

Until Nintendo magically makes the Wii U region free it doesn't really matter what's actually in the game. Unless you are a crazy person who has a Japanese one for... this? Are there any other Japanese only Wii U games that aren't on PS3/4?
