i agree with you---there are various games for nintendo ds.
today, i happened visite an online shop. and i felt a bit moved about the story of final fantasy xii.
and i like to share the story with you. may be you will be interested in it.
This is a beautiful world intertwined with sword, magic and technology.
it is also about a war between justice and evil, but the story is more of a life and death around the crystal started --- the source of all things.
the earth is destroyed, the water was contaminated. however, after mankind had gained a slight advantage of a little success. the Monster was repulsed, and the mankind was regain the peace.
But 20 years have passed since the people have forgotten in the battle, the evil came again.
It's all because of chasing crystal forces. the Final Fantasy 12 is a story called "Ivalice".
because of the interests, two empires are experiencing perennial war. a girl in order to protect their own country was deadly chased by the enemy, but she never gave up. At this point, he met vaan, they two changed the pattern of the world to a peaceful one.
