Bahamut Lagoon? I don’t think so. As firenze said, FFXI sounds more likely. But then again, what did “Dirge of Cerberus” or “Crisis Core” have to do with Final Fantasy 7?

And if Covenant of the Plume isn’t an indicator for a Valkyrie Profile DS international release, I’ll eat my hat.

@firenze

That really makes sense… I haven´t thought about FF XI…

2009 FFXI expansion. Bahamut is a key boss monster in the MMO, and it just sounds like a FFXI expansion name:

Rise of the Zilart
Chains of Promathia
Treasures of Aht Urghan
Wings of the Goddess
Blood of Bahamut

You heard it here first.

Oops… You´re right, I forgot about that one…

@lastworthy

I haven´t played Bahamut Lagoon yet so I can´t comment on its difficulty, but just in case you´ve played it through an emulator, there´s an issue with a certain ROM version of the game that gets your party members to level 99 instantly… Your comment reminded me of that.

I wouldn’t buy a port, But I’d be all over a remake.

The original was wayyyyy too easy, which made it’s unique mechanics irrelevant.

Gosh I loved that game… ASH seriously disappointed me (maybe I had too high an expectation that it will be worthy of the comparisons to Bahamut Lagoon.. But something in the game just isn’t right) so I hope that this signifies a remake/port of Bahamut Lagoon to DS, like they did with Chrono Trigger. =)

Spin-off game will be fine with me too, I love Bahamuts, they need more publicity! xD

@seiya19 - I believe Covenant of the Plume which has already been registered will be the subtitle for Valkyrie Profile DS. I mean that's like a shoe in for an international release.

Oh man, definitely would love to see this game localized.

“seiya19 does not comment on rumors or speculation” (just kidding, I wanted to say that…)

Anyway… “Bahamut” has appeared on Final Fantasy games as well, so it can also be an FF spin-off or a new ip. I don´t think it makes much sense to call a remake of Bahamut Lagoon, “Bahamut Lagoon: Blood of Bahamut” because it´s too redundant and the name doesn´t need to be changed for US release (it could though) and wouldn´t be changed for a JP release.

Will Dragon Quest IX or Valkyrie Profile include Bahamut ? We don´t have US subtitles for those yet, and both are likely to be released in the US.

If I had to guess, I would say that it is either a subtitle for Dragon Quest IX (it has also the same letter on both words, like the remakes) or for a completely new game (not a new ip necessarly).
