EDIT 2- This is pretty much confirmed to be true. First scan here-
EDIT- This game name was a newly registered trademark from Square Enix, so this story is most likely true-

Take this with a grain of salt, but IGN (IGNorance jokes aside) is bringing in the news that the Square Enix mystery game teaser site was revealed through a leaked magazine scan. Not sure where the scan is, but here's a few tidbits about the game-
- Title is Hikari no Yon Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden, or Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden
- Nintendo DS RPG in which players take control of a 14-year-old boy tasked with saving a princess
- The game kicks off on your birthday as you're summoned by a King whose daughter has been kidnapped by a witch.
- Standard menu-driven turn based RPG
- No MP, but ability points that even normal attacks consume. "Store/build" button to build back up AP.
- Equipment changes to your characters result in changes to physical appearance.
- Final Fantasy Gaiden hits Japan this Fall.
- Artwork designed by Akihiko Yoshida (FF Tactics and FF12)
- No relation to the Mana games (which was referred to as FF Gaiden when first released)
Apparently this info was obtained by scans in a "weekly jump". Not sure what that means, unless it's Famitsu or Shonen Jump. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
