Thanks for German site Gaming-Universe for this one! Details have emerged regarding Squares Gamecube-GBA link-up game, tentatively titled Final Fantasy N.

"Tentatively titled Final Fantasy N, Square’s Game Designer Studio division will create one game over two platforms. Both versions will feature the same maps, battles, dialogue and plot, with no difference other than in terms of graphical presentation. You play the GameCube version at home, probably using the GBA linked to the GameCube as a novelty extra screen. When you have finished playing and have to go out, you save the game, which will then transfer the data to the GBA and jump you to that point in the GBA version. You then go about your business, playing Final Fantasy N on the train, bus, or wherever, and when you get back, simply hook the portable up to the GameCube and it will jump to the same point in the home version. You will then be given the option to view any of the home version highlights, like FMV sequences, you might have missed."

This is certainly great news, the whole idea about being able to continue your game on on both consoles shows how much thought is going into Final Fantasy for Nintendo.
