The Young King and the Jump Festa Trailer
Square Enix released a lengthy trailer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land today, for the few of us who didn't attend Jump Festa 2008. And it looks great. Suspiciously great, for a downloadable game.
We know in our heads that this is a strategy/town-building kind of thing, but the trailer is so old-school Final Fantasy that we can't help but get nostalgic about fighting Imps. It's got crystals, airships, moogles, and chibi protagonists -- how much more pre-FF7 Final Fantasy can you get? Now we're thinking that if this game can transfer the goofy, adventurous feeling of early Fantasy into a new genre, it will be a major success on Square Enix's part. We'd certainly take experimental Wii Ware games over Final Fantasy VII spinoffs.
