Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land Trailer



I don't think I'm ever going to get over that title. OK, so, quick intro for the uninformed: Yesterday, during their annual press briefing, Nintendo revealed that in addition to several "indie" games being developed (according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, over 100 titles have been pitched so far) for Wii Ware, big-name developers were also going to be putting some of their key franchises on the game.

The first developer showing this degree of support is surprisingly Square Enix, with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land. Chronologically, the game is set after the original Crystal Chronicles, and is about a king who lost his kingdom due to the events of that game. He now has these magic crystals, and is using them to rebuild it.

The game's teaser site is up and can be accessed here. The Young King and the Promised Land is described as a "country building RPG". The title will cost 1500 Wii points and will be available in Japan in March '08, debuting along with Wii Ware itself. IGN has a list of a few of the Square staff working on the game, and the lineup looks extremely promising. You have Motome Toriyama of Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy X-2 fame, who is acting as game director, Kenichiro Yuji from Front Mission Online, and Toshiyuki Itahana and Kumi Tanioka from previous Crystal Chronicles games acting as art supervisor and composer respectively.

I think it's insanely cool that Wii Ware is capable of supporting more than just simple, casual games. Nintendo might really be onto something here, and I truly do see the service eventually besting Xbox Live Arcade if this is the kind of support we're going to be seeing. Hopefully, the strong Wii Ware games will keep on coming over the next couple of years, because really, I see no better platform to be creatively experimental on.
