Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is an unreleased Wii RPG by Square Enix. First announced to the public in May 2006, the story will revolve around an established hero character.[1] There have been no major updates disclosed since its first announcement. The developers of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King refused to comment when asked about the status of the Crystal Bearers project at the Game Developers Conference of February 2008, stating only that the public should "wait for a press release".[2] In March 2008, an official advertising article about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates noted that the Nintendo DS installment "sets the stage" for The Crystal Bearers.[3]

[edit] Plot

The game director wanted to make "an exhilarating tale of this great hero set against sweeping blue skies", which influenced many decisions in game design and story.[4]

[edit] Setting

The exact point of this title in the Crystal Chronicles chronology is unconfirmed, but the game takes place in the same world as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, populated by four races.[5]

[edit] Development

The Crystal Bearers is intended to be a more "single-player experience", as opposed to the GameCube installment which focused on cooperative play.[6] The game director stated he wants a more "world weary" protagonist, and wanted him to seem rugged, which influenced the hair design of the character.[4] The game is intended to feature a more "mature" design to help bolster the heroic structure of the story.[6]
