It’s great that they are releasing all three Fabula Nova Crystallis titles in the same year, but they have seemingly merged Japanese, North American and European release dates all into one, so it’s difficult to tell if any will see the light of day outside of Japan this year.

There is also no news on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers and even though Square Enix recently announced that the game hadn’t been cancelled, it seems to be stuck in development hell.

The 7 Final Fantasy Games:

• Final Fantasy XIII (Playstation 3)
• Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Playstation 3)
• Final Fantasy Agito XIII (Playstation Portable)
• Dissidia: Final Fantasy (Playstation Portable)
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (Wii, DS)
• Final Fantasy IV: The After (Mobile)
• Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete (Blu-ray)

First revealed by Japanese magazine Shonen Jump in October, Square Enix today officially announced Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time for North America. With the game’s Japanese release slated for January 29, Square Enix said today that Echoes of Time will arrive across the Pacific on the Wii and Nintendo DS in spring 2009.

A theme not unfamiliar to Final Fantasy faithful, Echoes of Time tells the story of a teenaged hero who sets out on a quest to save a similarly aged girl from a disease that is as life-threatening as it is mysterious. To get at the heart of the “crystal sickness,” the boy-champion must delve into the secrets of a long-dead civilization.

Echoes of Time on the Wii and DS will play similarly to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates, which released to warm reviews for Nintendo’s portable in March. As such, the game relies heavily on action role-playing elements as well as various puzzles. In addition to four different playable races, Wii gamers will be able to import their user-created Miis for play in the game.

As noted in October, the game’s most distinguishing feature is online multiplayer interconnectivity between the Wii and DS editions. According to Square Enix, gamers will also be able to switch between single-player adventuring and multiplayer modes without exiting out of the game.
