If you are looking for local couch co-op in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered you might have to rein in their expectations.
Square Enix clarified that the upcoming remaster heading to Nintendo Switch will not feature the offline multiplayer options of the original game. This was apparently due to ‘development reasons’ – which convinced Square to focus only on online multiplayer instead.
公式放送などでもご紹介しておりますが、本作はオフラインでのマルチプレイには非対応です🙏
開発の都合上、オフラインかオンラインのどちらかを選択する必要があり、より多くの方に遊んでいただけるよう、今回はオンラインマルチプレイを選択いたしました。#FFCC #クリクロhttps://t.co/vZzJGXiASW— FFクリスタルクロニクル リマスター 公式 (@FFCC_PR) July 15, 2020
As we have introduced in official broadcasts, this product does not support offline multiplayer. For development reasons, it is necessary to select either offline or online, so we selected online multiplayer so that more people can play.
While unfortunate, we’ll just have to wait and see if the online multiplayer component more than makes up for the loss of local co-op play.
