Square recently sent out word that the Final Fantasy Wii exclusive has a hammered out release date and its right during the heat of the holiday season. Well, technically it would be the “cold” of the holiday season, but you get my drift.

According to the press release…

This latest installment in the franchise offers a fresh take on the beloved CRYSTAL CHRONICLES universe, launching the series into the action-adventure genre and onto the Wii system. FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: THE CRYSTAL BEARERS combines the storytelling depth, immersive event scenes and graphical quality of the FINAL FANTASY franchise with motion-driven gameplay and the ability to freely explore the game world.

The graphics look pretty good for this game and it features some unique interactive features, including open-world exploration, swimming and vertical scaling. Cool, eh? Well, gamers interested in this game can look for it to hit store shelves in North America on December 26th.
