Square Enix Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan, "Square Enix") a leading developer
and publisher of interactive entertainment software including two of the
world's most popular franchises FINAL FANTASY and DRAGON QUEST, today
announced plans for the FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles series to be
developed for the Revolution, Nintendo's next-generation console currently
in development.
The Revolution's promise of seamless interactive entertainment provided by
the built in Wi-Fi system caught Square Enix's attention. The company
decided to join the Revolution with FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles,
which was originally released on Nintendo's GameCube by Game Designers
Studio, Inc, an affiliate of Square Enix.
"We would like to strongly support Nintendo's next-generation networking
plans," said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix. "The Revolution may
embody a new platform beyond a portable or console, which makes possible a
new structure in the network gaming system, changing the ways communities
are built and supported. This is the kind of direction we've envisioned,
and we will challenge ourselves to provide immersive interactive content
in response to what Nintendo offers."
More details regarding the new FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles series are
not yet determined and will be announced in the near future.
