Whilst many people have firmly believed that Crystal Bearers on Wii was cancelled, Square Enix has confirmed it is still coming, just as stated by Cubed3 on several occasions thanks to comments made by Square Enix Europe. Thankfully, though, concrete proof of its existence has arisen in Japan at a presentation for the upcoming 29th January, 2009 release of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time on Wii and DS.
It appears that fans that buy the Wii version of Echoes of Time will be treated to a special trailer of Crystal Bearers, the game that was first unveiled three years ago. Whilst no release date has yet to be confirmed, C3 has many a time speculated that a late-2009 release is likely and it would not seem to unrealistic at this stage.
As well as the news of the trailer, three screenshots were released and can be seen in the media folder below, although they have been seen before. In addition to the special trailer, both DS and Wii versions of Echoes of Time will come with an FFCC soundtrack with four tunes on from the series' past.
For reference, below are the two trailers seen so far, from E3 2005 and E3 2007, respectively:
Will the game have changed much by the time the new trailer is revealed? What would you like to see from the final product - something more like a traditional Final Fantasy, or a more Secret of Mana-like experience?
