Fans of the Final Fantasy series will be pleased to know that Square Enix will be rolling out Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time next spring on both the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms in North America. What makes this title so special? How about the ability to be able to play alone or with friends, as and when you like it? Of course, you will need a bunch of friends to agree with you, but that’s beside the point. This title will offer a groundbreaking concept where multiplayer gaming is concerned, allowing users of either Nintendo platform to adventure alongside each other for the first time.

Maintaining the intuitive control scheme of FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Ring of Fates and enhancing the gameplay experience with an integrated system that allows players to switch between the single and multiplayer modes in-game, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Echoes of Time is set to take multiplayer gaming to new heights as it brings together Wii and DS users from around the world next spring. A triumphant return from a monster-infested forest marks the completion of the 16-year-old hero’s coming-of-age ceremony. However, the hero’s joy is short-lived as a young village girl is found to be afflicted by a mysterious illness known as “crystal sickness.” Determined to obtain the cure, the hero steps out of the secluded village for the first time, only to discover a world in which crystals are merely artifacts of the past and no longer exist …

Features of this game include :-

• Play anytime, anywhere with anyone! Multiplayer connectivity reaches new heights in FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Echoes of Time, where players can team up or compete with friends and players around the world!
• The intuitive control scheme introduced in FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Ring of Fates returns, now adapted to Wii for double the action
• Players can switch between single and multiplayer modes within the gameworld itself, giving them two great gaming options in one integrated experience
• A personalized hero can be generated from a choice of the four familiar races of the series; Clavats, Lilties, Selkies or Yukes. Players joining from the Wii can also introduce their Miis to the world of FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES
• Create and customize materials, armor and equipment for characters with tailored appearances and abilities - no two heroes will be the same!
• A vast selection of quests provides hours of fun, even after completion of the main adventure

Sounds too good to be true! I’m rubbing my hands in anticipation.
