The Nintendo Gamecube's action RPG Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles will be remastered for the PS4, Sony announced today during its PlayStation LineUp Tour. The remastered version will hit Japan in 2019 with a global multiplayer mode.

There was however no mention of an international release. Would you like to see this game getting localized?

[UPDATE]

While the announcement came from a Playstation event, the game wasn't necessarily destined to be a PS4-exclusive. Indeed, the official Final Fantasy twitter account tweeted the following just a few minutes ago:

FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES Remastered Edition is more beautiful than ever and coming to #NintendoSwitch and #PlayStation 4 in 2019! pic.twitter.com/hwfldVLYRO

​

Nintendo Switch owners, rejoice! Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition will also land on your device! And since the video tweeted features English subtitles and is said to still be in development, we can expect a Western localization.

brb, gonna find 3 new friends

That is hard.
Far better to train yourself to use two or three controllers at once.

First I was like: Yay... then I realized that this was just the GameCube Game. Dont get me wrong, the game was kinda cool for its time and even fun to play alone (and creating characters just to fill your settlement). But after all this Time I feel they should have made a Compilation of this Game, the 2 DS Games and maybe the Wiiware Titles, The one where you Build a Town and send out People (My Life as King afair) and the One where you have this weird Tower Defense Like setup inside a Tower and Play the Evil side.(My Life as a Dark Lord afair)
Cause, lets be fair, the Base FF-CC game was rather short and repetetive. (And if I remember correctly you had to make offline notes on paper of every minor Event in the game to have a Chance to even beat the true Final Boss.)

Then I better grow more hands and heads, like Asura

That’s going to be a hard pass for me. I hated the GameCube version so bad

Unexpected hype and interest.
Perhaps it means I could find three virtual "friends" to play this game with.
Well, shall we organize parties of four to play this in online co-op here on GBATemp?
(perhaps an addition to GBATemp Twitch channel?)

Finally! Shame it's (currently) Japan exclusive. Localization, or at least an English language option would be fantastic.

 

[MeowMeowMeow]

OMG instant buy, this was so fuuuuuuuuuuun. A real test loyality test while playing this with friends.

 

[leon315]

it will be on all nextgen consoles except X1, never expect that.

It say at the beginning of the Twitter video that it'll have multiple language and English voice, so I don't think it'll be japan exclusive

I am beyond excited. FF:CC for the GC is one of my favorite games of all time. I am SO happy this is happening!

For those concerned about the chalice carrying - FF CC Echoes had this mechanic where each character had a chalice "necklace" so no one person had to carry the chalice. Hopefully they implement something like that.

Edit
Or maybe not. Just saw the trailer. Who knows. I'm just super excited.

I’ll probably get the ps4 version. I would have consider the switch version, but without proper voice chat, most multiplayer games are a pass

 

[Enlapse]

Basically you wouldn't buy the game if it turns out to be a singleplayer only game?Good thing they announced it will have global multiplayer, whatever that means. I find it hard to believe that Square would reduce this game to a single player experience when seemingly the whole point of the series is the multiplayer aspect, but you never know..

What I tried to say is that it is obviously a game where playing with friends is a lot more fun, and as fas as I know, which is not much about this game, some places are unfairly difficult if you are solo (because were designed to be played with friends).

To be honest, a really story-driven game is perfect to be played solo, but co-operative games are usually funnier (Borderlands, for example). It actually depends on the game, but if I can play co-operatively with a friend, it is a plus (specially if it's in local).

Good luck, its a war out there


Oh god dont tease me. I still play FFTA2 on my phone using DraStic. 10 years later and I still haven't finished it. But I will. You'll see. You'll ALL SEE

Let's be honest: If you don't like isometric turn-based games, FFT is meh, but if you do, it's a brilliant saga which in my opinion could be making a lot of money if it's well done (due to it's competitive possibilities). 1v1 with 6 characters with changeable classes of course, and the possibility of a balancing system with new classes or characters (without DLC's, please, don't be a [...]) being added with the time. More or less like LoL's releases or Clash Royale's. I am not sure if I am asking something exagerated, but I would buy that game day 0 (and it's been a couple of years since I did that).

The game might have voice chat.
Only Nintendo games don't have it. (Fortnite has native voice chat built in)

Hope I'll be able to use my GBA with this game
