So I got a text message from Gamestop today telling me thatFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronciles: The Crystal Bearersshould be in the store tomorrow. This came as quite a shock, seeing as the game’s biggest claim to fame (for me) was its unprecedentedKwanzaa release dateof December 26th.
Still haven’t heard back from Square-Enix or their publicist on this, but the three Gamestops I’ve called confirmed that the game (not the strategy guide or some other thing) will be in stores tomorrow.
You’d think that we’d get a press-release or something of the kind to confirm this news, but no such luck as of yet. Still, it’s nice to know that there’s chance that little Jewish, Christian, and Kwanzaa-ian boys and girls can ask for theCrystal Bearersfor their respective holiday of choice. It’s the kind of game that makes a good gift, because it looks interesting, but it might not be any good. Great games are something youneedto buy on day one. Games thatmightbe great are better played when purchased by someone else and then given to you for free.
