Is here trying to stop demon wall or enter it?

Anyway, look really good.

Probably just saw it minding it's own business when he decided to beat it's ass down for no good reason. Seems to be the general method Layle follows, judging by the released media.

Late November release I believe.

December.

We confirmed with Square Enix that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is scheduled to come out in North America later this year. A release date has not been finalized, but Crystal Bearers is being planned as their holiday title.

This year folks.

*Gets his kermit.gif on*

Cannot wait.

 

[Shadowlink]

You know what would be awesome? A World Wide release.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

...why is the formerly short melee race so tall? I was expecting something like a tarutaru/lalafell in terms of proportions.

The texturing and lighting for this game is so very reminiscent of FFXII, but that's a good thing

Evolving?

Mixing with Clavats?

It seems that there are still many short Lilties(some of the soldiers for example), so my guess is the latter.

They also added Vygari to the character roster.

So hot.

 

[bdouble]

Holy shit at the above screens. Game looking even better now.

 

[BorkBork]

This year folks.

Booyah.
Just a friendly reminder of the official site music:

Because it's absolutely magnificent.

Whatever happened to the image of Layle holding coffee? :lol

 

[Amir0x]

This year folks.

holy shit it's going to make it to North America THIS YEAR!?

This is one of the only games out of like a billion I am buying this fall that I am going to make sure I set aside time to finish as soon as it comes out. It's like everywhere I wish the FF series would've went post FFXII (story aside... I fully expect it to be lame, like all FF titles).

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

But then I'd have to pay close to $200 for a PSP and the game-- wait, they sell a PC version? Where??

Here for instance, though it seems used PC versions aren't cheap, either. Also that it doesn't sound like it works so great with modern hardware and operating systems.

However, it does now retroactively seem appropriate that Eidos published the PC version.

 

[carlo6529]

The game is looking good; my interest is rising a bit more.

I won't be able to pick it up and play it until mid next year though =(

 

[Fimbulvetr]

(story aside... I fully expect it to be lame, like all FF titles).

If CB ends up being well written then it will officially jump XII as one of my favorites for me.

If it (somehow) ends up having a better story than Tactics(and the gameplay holds up) it'll jump to being my favorite FF.

Just so people are aware, a few weeks ago the game changed dates in our release list (Gamestop) and added a street date: December 26th. We don't usually get a street date for a game unless it's solid, straight from the publisher. Apparently they are aiming for the after-Christmas giftcard season i guess.

The 26th would certainly be an odd date to release on, especially since it's a Saturday.

 

[Sipowicz]

i think that this game is made by the same person as last remnant so it might have good characters and whatnot. it's giving off a more adventureous vibe to me though, like an indiana jones movie

 

[John Harker]

well my friend at SQEX US did say it was 'very late this year,' though it be odd to see it in stores a day after Xmas

Keiss is just holding onto it while Layle goes to the bathroom.

Who releases a game the day after Christmas? Better yet, who releases a game on a Saturday?

Though it is weird that Amazon seems to have switched to December 26th too.

EDIT: and Gamefly...

I don't know how it is in the US but here in the UK Boxing Day has long stopped being a day where everything shuts down and by the 27th shops are absolutely packed with people looking for post-Xmas bargains. If it's the same over there, it certainly wouldn't be a terrible time to have a brand new game in stores for new Wii owners with giftcards and such to spend.

Oh yes, the day after Christmas is a huge shopping day in America (though it tends to be more for sales than brandnew stuff). However what gets me is that if they are to release the game on the 26th then they would have to ship out the game several days earlier due to Christmas. And if they would do that, why not just release the game before Christmas? I guess there must be some kind of logic to their marketing plan here.

It's a Wii game. There's no logic to any marketing plan.

10 years ago we would get one final fantasy game every two years or so. Now we get around 5-6 FF games, and all are looking good almost. Good times.

For some reason, the first thing I saw in that picture is a Demon Wall giant hidden face:

The wall is like "OMG this game is so hawt day 1".:lol

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Sounds kind of like a Final Fantasy X situation. Rushed to catch some holiday sales, but still came pretty late. Wikipedia says it was a December 20 release.

The copyright on FFX's title screen actually has it dated for 2002. It was scheduled for January/February, I think, but they managed to ship it early.

Are you serious? We've been waiting for this game for about 3-4 years. :lol

 

[ivysaur12]

It's actually coming out this year? That's insane. I can't believe this and FFXIII are actually so close to release :lol

But this game is better.

I'm not getting FF XIII until next year.

Thanks. US, Europe or both?

 

[TunaLover]

At least there is alot time to make the official thread. =P

 

[CTLance]

The 26th? That's kind of an odd date IMHO. But whatever. Yay for the release this year! When will it release in the EU region, I wonder. I doubt we'll be getting the same treatment.

 

[Fuu]

So it's really coming this year for both Japan and NA, and exactly one month later... It's so freaking delicious.

 

[Shadowlink]

26.12.

In the US?

 

[TreIII]

Awesome sauce! Will buy this, the most appealing SE game in my eyes since The World ends With You.

 

[Danthrax]

why the hell would it come out on a Saturday (26th of December)

 

[Fuu]

Wasn't aware Vygari was updated on the site. Here's a rip:

Worldwide date, maybe? The Last Remnant released in every territory on a Thursday, which is odd for NA and PAL (don't know abotu JPN?) - I remember because the fucking shop wouldn't let me buy it until Friday

Perhaps they are all drinking the crazy Kool-Aid

 

[PusherT]

so why do they hate "crystal bearers" so much in this game? Did previous crystal bearers abuse there power? And are thetr more Yukes and Selkies in this game?

 

[_bluemoon]

Those latest screens look great. The game definately has potential.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It seems most Crystal Bearers are jerks. Layle is an exception, not a rule, and even he's kind of a jerk.

Think, uh, One Piece.

Watching that E3 trailer that is the impression I got, the previous crystal bearers had issue or abused there power. It seems the people don't know if they are good or evil and WTF happened to the other races not named lilties?
