News: You will be able to play the first part of the game for free with your friends regardless of the platform you are playing on.

Square Enix has revealed that there will be a free demo for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition when it launches on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and mobile devices later this summer. It will be called Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Lite and will feature crossplay with other platforms. With this free demo you will be able to play through the first three dungeons in both single player and online multiplayer. This should give you a good indication on whether the game is right for you and whether or not you should buy it.

If you purchase the full game you will be able to host multiplayer sessions with people that just have the demo. You can have a party of up to four caravanners and can play through up to 13 dungeons with one copy of the full game. Your save data will be carried over from the demo to the full game, ensuring that your progress can pick up where you left off instead of having to start at square one again.

In addition to a ‘Mimic’ feature which allows players to take the form of various characters they meet on their journey, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition also adds a number of new gameplay enhancements to make the adventure more memorable than ever, such as:

Quick Chat – new tactical commands to give easy text-based instructions to teammates during online multiplayer play.

Magic Timer – a new Timer mechanic, helping players to synchronise and combine their magical attacks to unleash more powerful abilities.

UI Improvements – Increases to material capacity limits allow for more trouble-free adventures and a mini-map has been added to the game’s UI ensuring players always have a tactical understanding of their environments.

Additional Difficulty Modes – after finishing the main scenario, high difficulty dungeons will be available for daring adventurers to explore, including the Mine of Cathuriges which will include powerful enemies and new challenges alike. These challenging post-game dungeons are exclusive to the full release of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition.

Updated Soundtrack – over 50 musical tracks have been newly-composed especially for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition by the original game’s composer, Kumi Tanioka, including newly-recorded versions of the beloved theme songs Sound of the Wind and Starry Moonlit Night.
