Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers Release Date

It will be too late for kids in North America to ask their parents for the newest game in the Crystal Chronicles franchise, but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers now has a release date. After a long time of wondering if the game was even going to come out it has finally been announced that the game will launch in North America on December 26th. The day after Christmas is an unusual time to release a game, but it will be in stores for anyone looking to pick up a quality title with their gift money, or gift return money, for that matter.

The game was originally announced during Nintendo's E3 Press Conference back in 2006. We were shown a trailer for the game and then it just sort of fell of the map. It returned later in 2008 with an updated, more mature look and it was probably for the better. It's now been officially announced that it will come out this year and I, for one, am really looking forward to it.

New Content Available for My Life as a Darklord

FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord NEW CONTENT AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD TODAY

London (11th September 2009) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that new downloadable add-on content for FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a Darklord™ for WiiWare™ is available from today.

The ever expanding world of FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord grows even bigger today thanks to its biggest release of downloadable content to date. With two spooky accessories, a chance to recruit FINAL FANTASY IV: The After Years™ dexterous Dragoon, Kain and two brand new stages for her insatiable thirst for conquering, our delightfully evil Darklord, Mira will be spoiled for choice. And she always gets what she wants! The full list of new content is as follows:

Gloomy Armband
200 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 1
Raises your NP by 50 at the start of battle. The effect is permanent with a single purchase. The more accessories you equip, the more NP you'll start with (and the prettier Mira will be). A man once prepared this for his lover, but she died in an accident before he could give it to her. Whoever touches it is said to be blighted by profound despair.

Wailing Doll
200 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 1
Raises your NP by 50 at the start of battle. The effect is permanent with a single purchase. Found in a mansion that burned to the ground, this doll is singed and stained. Anyone who holds it is said to hear it crying for its late owner for all eternity.

Kain
200 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 3
A stout ally making an appearance from FINAL FANTASY IV: The After Years. The strongest of melee fighters, mowing down adventurers with his nimble attack. Kain's prideful spirit and dragoon talents let him play a major role in any Darklord army's forces. Purchase this, and you can place as many of him as your NP allows on the floors.

A Fateful Clash!
500 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 3
Includes two stage collections of varying difficulty. A horde of powerful adventurers is champing at the bit to defeat Mira the Darklord. Shut those conceited peons up with the full brunt of your Darklord power!
