More New Details on FFCC: Crystal Bearers

[Serabii]

Finally, since the launch and constant video update on their site (thanks to us & those who visits, and especially F5

). We all know that this game isn't dead or canceled but it's been in limbo for at least 4 years

Here are the Scanlations of FFCC: Crystal Bearers

Here are some details in the game and what interested me is that they're dropping leveling system (correct me if I'm wrong but it's a 1st for the FF universe), and multiplayer action...?

- futuristic Crystal Chronicles world
- swords have been traded in for guns
- the Yukes have died off due to a war with the Lilties
- main character’s name is Layle
- Layle: Crystal Bearer of the Clavat race, can manipulate gravity, his story starts when he meets a Yuke named Amidatelion that caused Layle some trouble. Layle sets out to find Amidatelion.
- part of Layle’s cheek has been crystallized - this is a feature of all Crystal Bearers (to have some part of their body crystallized)
- Althea: blond character shown sitting on the bench in the traile, she is the queen of the Lilties Kingdom, dead mother and sick father
- Jegran: head of the Lilties army, senses bad things from Amidatelion and Layle
- playing as Layle, use the Wiimote to point at objects and target them
- grab enemies and use them for various purposes
- uses for enemy grabbing: throw enemies at one another, flip enemies over, and swinging yourself around enemies to avoid attacks
- grab onto heavy/anchored objects to use Layle’s power as a grappling hook
- game development hadn’t actually begun when the first trailer came out, explaining the long time this game has taken
- no level-up system
- equip accessories to raise/change/add abilities
- as your progress, you’ll encounter enemies that feature vast sets of abilities
- even characters you see in town will present unique situations
- a free-world experience, no separation between battles and exploration
- the conflict between Layle and Amidatelion comes when Amidatelion attacks a new passenger airship on an escort mission. Layle is the one heading the escort mission.
- actions within cities can change the way townsfolk feel about you (women fall in love, guards try to fight you, ect.)
- some sort of multiplayer mode using multiple Wiimotes to help/hinder Layle is hinted at
- no release date
- about 60% complete

Are you kidding me!? 4 years for 60% completion? The game might end up very good, but that's beyond a joke. Considering how many resources Square-Enix has and how many games they're pumping out, how about they actually start focusing on developing the big game?
Well, I'm looking forward to it I guess, but we still have ages to wait it seems.

A final fantasy with no leveling system!? lol.

But I'm definitely looking forward to this game. It looks very interesting to me.

Those are not Scanlations.

Scanlations is a term referring to scanned documents with translated text, and it originated in Manga (I'm assuming you know that, it's not really used outside of manga), but it has to be translated to be a 'scanlation', otherwise it's RAW.

In any case, the game looks good, would be nice to get that info translated though.

I believe there has been a FF game that didn't have a leveling system, with the actual levels, but with the leveling of the weapons that you use. FF2. But I suppose that's still leveling in a way. :/

This should be interesting...wonder how that no-leveling system will turn out. And no swords? What madness is this?
