After facing several delays, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition finally has a new release date, as the game will be coming out on August 27.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004, which was seen as a landmark event, as it was the first Final Fantasy game to be released on a Nintendo system since Squaresoft jumped ship to Sony at the start of the 32-bit era. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles received positive reviews upon release, but it was criticized for the unwieldy nature of the multiplayer mode, which required each player to own a Game Boy Advance and a link cable. Fans of the game won’t need the complex setup of the original version of the game anymore, as Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition at the end of 2019, which will include online modes and crossplay, so it will be easier than ever for people to team up and play the game.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition has been delayed several times, but it seems that Square Enix is comfortable with a new release date. A new trailer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition has been released on the Square Enix YouTube channel, which has confirmed that the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Android & iOS devices on August 27 in Japan.
Square Enix has since sent out a promo email confirming that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition will also be released in other territories on August 27, which means that gamers around the world will be able to experience it at the same time.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition is one of the most highly-anticipated releases of 2020, especially to people who wanted to play it on the GameCube, but didn’t have the setup required to enjoy it properly. Those people can finally enjoy Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles online with players all over the world, including those playing the game on other systems.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition will be released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Android & iOS devices on August 27, 2020.
