The Crystal Bearers unlikely to hit Europe in 2009

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers has been mysteriously absent from a Nintendo release list for the remainder of 2009, indicating that the title won't arrive in Europe this year.

At E3 2009 The Crystal Bearers was heavily pushed to atendees at a game for "This Winter" - which most assume mean the game'll be out by the end of December.

Speaking to RPGSite this morning, a Square Enix representative told us that the Wii spin-off was still "firmly on track for a release This Winter, as indicated previously." Winter carries on until early 2010, so we can now likely expect to see the game in January or February of next year.
