Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered's online play will be region locked
A new tidbit has been revealed regarding the remaster of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, and it's something that fans might not be too excited about. The game's official website recently described how online multiplayer will work, allowing players to play together across all available platforms, whether it's the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, or Android. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered will also let players transfer their saves across the different systems. However, some fine print hidden at the bottom of the page additionally denotes that players will only be able to match up with those in their own region. Despite the easy accessibility and cross-platform play, the game will lock you to whatever region you bought it in.
And if you were expecting to play Crystal Chronicles Remastered locally, that's a no-go as well. Square Enix won't be including that as a feature for the game, as they feel it is better suited to an online experience.
*In online multiplayer mode, a player will only be matched with others in the region specific to player’s software.
