Why hasn’t the Wii seen a traditional Final Fantasy game?

October 4th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii

Up to this point, the Wii has yet to see a traditional Final Fantasy game. Square Enix has been sticking with the Crystal Chronicles universe, which is considered to be more of a side story. In a recent video interview, Akitoshi Kawazu, producer of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, spoke about why Square Enix has gone in this direction on the Wii rather than the route that has been taken on the PS3/360.

“The Crystal Chronicles series is a more action-oriented game, with a little bit more movement in the gameplay itself, so we felt that the Wii was a very fitting console for that.”

I’m actually quite pleased that Square Enix has gone with the action route on Wii. I’m not a huge fan of the other Crystal Chronicles titles, but this is the most I’ve been excited for a Final Fantasy game in a long time.

    FFCC looks amazing and I give Square/Enix props but I do think its time FF comes back home to Nintendo. DQX is finally coming home so the next installment of FF should also make the jump. Kingdom Hearts 3 would also be nice if you Square/Enix guys are reading this :)

    FFCC Crystal Bearers looks great, so I’m glad it’s on the Wii. I actually prefer this to having a bunch of washed-out ports of the main series.

    Plus as Captain N said, DQ is also gonna be on the Wii, so that should keep our RPG needs covered for a while.
