Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Crystal Bearers

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is an upcoming action-adventure game for the Wii.

First announced to the public at E3 in May 2006, the story revolves around an established hero character named Layle.

The game was released on November 12, 2009 in Japan and is planned to be released on December 26, 2009 in North America.

Plot

The timezone in this game is far into the future of the Crystal Chronicles franchise, taking place in the same world as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, populated by four races.

However, due to a war with the Lilty race, the Yuke race has supposedly died out, though that clearly isn’t the full story.

The setting has been recently described as a time when “swords have changed to guns” and the arcane arts are outlawed by the Liltian Kingdom.

However, magic is given to a selected few, who are known to others as the Crystal Bearers.

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.
