[Wii]FINAL FANTASY CRYSAL CHRONICLES - CRYSTAL BEARER


Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (ファイナルファンタジークリスタルクロニクル クリスタルベアラー?) is an action-adventure game for the Wii. First announced to the public at E3 in May 2006, the story revolves around an established hero character named Layle.[4] The game was released on November 12, 2009, in Japan and on December 26, 2009, in North America.

Gameplay

Like its GameCube predecessor, Crystal Bearers will feature fully real-time combat. Enemies and regular civilians apparently will be able to show emotion or status effects via symbols hanging over their heads, such as hearts for attraction or musical notes for satisfaction. The producers have suggested that enemies do not necessarily grow stronger as the game progresses, but that they gain a wider variety of tactics and abilities instead. It has also been shown that some enemies have the ability to hurt fellow creatures also opposing the player. This is part of a reaction AI system, in which different creatures react in unique ways to other creatures nearby and to the player's attacks.

Telekinetic abilities will feature heavily in the game. The player will be able to perform different combat actions via telekinesis, including moving certain enemies against their will and utilizing various objects as telekinetic projectiles. The player will also be able to perform some type of reaction element with creatures that will affect them in different manners, though details of this are currently limited to video glances.

To further the telekinetic gameplay, the player will be able to utilize his abilities to interact with the environment, such as to activate switches or even grab onto ledges from a distance via an energy-based grappling hook; furthermore, he will even be able to perform such actions as moving civilians against their will. Some civilians also share a trait with enemies in that they will be able to knock the player away with force.

Based on the most recent video trailers and the general setting of the game, fighting in the sky might also be a feature of the gameplay, though this is unconfirmed. Quicktime events will also appear throughout the game, forcing the player to take necessary actions with the controller during certain events, such as aiming the remote and shooting demons while falling through the sky. It's been commented that while most of these events are for mere enjoyment, some must be completed in order to advance the story. Other gameplay aspects as hinted at by the trailers include participating in minigames, traversing the land on chocobos (which can ram through enemies and some background objects and also what appears to be chocobo racing), riding on trains, and swimming.

Story

A thousand years have passed since the events of the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. The destruction of the Yuke Crystal during the Great War, with the Yuke Tribe suffering apparent annihilation, had at last brought the victorious Lilties dominion over the world as they bring it into a new age of science and reason through Crystal Reactors with the use of magic outlawed and rule over the Clavats and few Selkies who comply to the new order. In this new era of imbalance exists a rare breed of powerful beings called "Crystal Bearers", whose seemingly magical abilities have led them to be feared and scorned by the public. The young mercenary Layle is one such Crystal Bearer, who has been hired to escort the new passenger airship Alexis, the pinnacle of Lilty technology and a symbol of their current dominance. However, when the Alexis is suddenly besieged by a horde of monsters, Layle comes face to face with a mysterious Yuke named Amidatelion who takes the Alexis' crystal shards, forcing Layle to land the thing with his powers. Soon after, getting caught up with Belle, a Selkie wanted by the Lilties for taking pictures while on the Alexis, Layle becomes a wanted man as his impulse to settle things with Amidatelion get him on a quest which uncovers a conspiracy in the Lilty Kingdom that may threaten the future of the world.

Characters

* Layle (レイル, Reiru?): A Clavat and the protagonist of the story, voiced by Makoto Yasumura in the Japanese version and Darrel Guilbeau in the English. He is already an established hero by the game's beginning. One of the eponymous Crystal Bearers, his crystal, which is located on his right cheek, gives him control of a strange gravity-based power.
* Belle (ベル, Beru?): A dark brown-haired female Selkie who is always with a camera. Though claiming herself to be a photographer, she finds and exchanges information for her own benefit. She stows away on the Alexis's maiden voyage and encounters sensitive information that lands a bounty on her head by Jegran, deciding to travel with Layle to make a fortune off him. However, she remains defiant and continues to pursue her next big story. Voiced by Chiaki Takahashi in the Japanese version and Elle Deets in the English.
* Keiss (クァイス, Kaisu?): A red-haired male Selkie who is Layle's partner and has his own agenda. Unlike other Selkies, Keiss devotes himself to the Lilty kingdom, working directly under Jegran to raise up the ladder until he became a colonel in the Lilty military. Voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama in the Japanese version and David Vincent (actor) in the English version.
* Amidatelion (アミダテリオン, Amidaterion?): A lavishly decorated Yuke who, as well as being another Crystal Bearer and last of his race, first appears to be the game's primary antagonist and nicknamed "Goldenrod" by Layle. He appears to also possess the ability to bend space and conjure summons like Bahamut. His goal is the revival of his race through the Crystal Idols to retore the Yuke Tribe's crystal. But soon after, Amidatelion gains Layle's aid in restoring the Crystal Principle to save the world. Voiced by Atsuko Tanaka in the Japanese version and Caitlin Glass in the English version.
* Althea Sol Alfiraria (アルテア, Arutea?): A Lilty with spectacles who is the princess of the Liltian Kingdom, having a crystal idol on her person.

Voiced by Noriko Shitaya in the Japanese version and Carrie Savage in the English version.
* High Commander Jegran (ジュグラン, Juguran?): The megalomanical captain of the Liltian guard and the game's villian, attempting to take over the Lilty kingdom by turning it into a military state.

* Cid (シド, Shido?): Former engineer of the Liltian Kingdom who has a certain interest in Crystal Bearers, working as a tinker in Bridge Town. Voiced by Shinichi Kotani in the Japanese version and Doug Stone in the English version.
* Vaigali (バイガリ, Bigari?): Leader of Selkie Guild, that sells information for the highest bidder, he has a grudge against Lilties and hates turncoats like Keiss even more. However, Vaigali makes an expection in the case of Cid whom he aids as patron. Voiced by Naomi Kuzumi in the Japanese version and Joe DiMussi in the English version.
* Blaze: A Clavat Crystal Bearer with pyrokinetic powers and formerly Layle's "worst partner ever", teaching Layle the ropes of a Crystal Bearer in the past.

Naitatte iindayo kimi ga fuini souitte kureta kara
