After the recent
back-and-forth, is-it, isn't-it on the fate of
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Game|Life's Chris Kohler sat down and did a little in-depth examination of the situation, and in his opinion, things aren't looking too great for Square Enix fans hoping for an epic SE experience on the Wii. While he grants that Square Enix stated outright that the game still exists and is still in development, he calls it vaporware and seems to doubt that the title will ever see a release. There's some interesting analysis of SE's press release that's worth looking at, as well as prior statements on rumors from
Electronic Gaming Monthly.
Either this is going to be the best game
ever, or something -- like
Dragon Quest IX and
Final Fantasy XIII? -- is diverting resources. Even SE can only make so many sprawling gaming experiences at a time. We diehards need to just settle back and wait for the dust from
Final Fantasy XIII and co. to clear (if it ever does); after that, we'll probably get word on
The Crystal Bearers. Chris Kohler may not agree, but if Square Enix says
The Crystal Bearers are coming, well, we'll just believe they are. Someday, at least.

Since when has Chris Kohler's opinion ever been anything but meaningless?

since the day pigs started flying. which was when? never (no offense to you by the way). seriously though people like this guy need to take a hint. NOBODIES LISTENING! they seriously act like if we don't know that their "Wiihater's" (as people often call them). how about they "shove it" and call it a day? sounds good to me!

This looks so epic, like an old school, real final fantasy game, with cristals, epic music, fliying ships and everything NES and SNES FF's had and made them awesome.
If they add FFV job system this could be what gets me back into beign a FF fanboy, wich I was until I played the PS games.
