Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers Launched Today

Square Enix Ltd., announced yesterday that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers will be available exclusively on the Nintendo Wii from today

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers opens up a whole new style of game design never experienced in previous Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles games. Set in a huge and beautifully created open-world universe, players will be treated to a magnificent story of adventure, exploration and puzzle solving.

A thousand years have passed since the events of the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. The destruction of the Yuke Crystal during the Great War had at once brought the victorious Lilty Tribe prosperity, the defeated Yuke Tribe apparent annihilation, and the world a new age of science and reason. In this new era exists a rare breed of powerful beings called “crystal bearers”, whose seemingly magical abilities have led them to be feared and scorned by the public.

Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Region of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is a unique addition to the series and one which will appeal to Final Fantasy fans and to Wii owners with a thirst for an epic and immersive adventure.
