Square Enix has announced today that Heroes of Mana, a Nintendo DS game developed by Brownie Brown will also be released in Europe and other PAL territories in Autumn 2007.

“We’re very excited to be bringing Heroes of Mana to Europe,” says John Yamamoto, President and CEO of Square Enix Ltd. “The Mana series has long been adored by fans around the world. Heroes of Mana offers a fantastically fresh new approach, with the addition of real-time strategy that makes battles even more thrilling than before.”

Bad news for Xbox 360 fanboys that want a Final Fantasy game (except for Final Fantasy XI) on their console. According to IGN there won't be any one soon. On a question if the Wii of Xbox 360 will get a Final Fantasy game, Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto said: "For the Wii, we have FF Crystal Chronicles in production. As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."
