After being rumored to be on hiatus, Square-Enix has revealed in an interview with Kikizo that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers is still in development on Wii. While speaking with Motomu Toriyama, Writer/Director of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, he shared some information about the possibility of DS and Wii interactivity, much like the GBA and GameCube edition before it.
- Kikizo: For the last CC game, you emphasized connectivity between the GBA and the GC. Now you have the Wii and the DS. Will there be any sort of connectivity between the two systems?
Kamiyama: There are no plans for direct connection between the Wii Crystal Bearers and the DS Ring of Fates at this time. Since Crystal Bearers is still under development, we can’t share too much about it yet. They’re entirely separate games, nothing is shared between them, although they share a similar worldview. We think that people who play Ring of Fates will find certain things to smile at when they play through Crystal Bearers, however.
Despite there being no new information regarding a release date or gameplay details, it is nice to know that the game is still in development and will share some common ground with the latest DS iteration. We’ll keep you updated if any new information becomes known. Stay tuned.
