Huzzah! An actual confirmation that The Crystal Bearers still exists

A portion of Kikizo interview with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates with director Mitsuru Kamiyama…

Kikizo: For the last CC game, you emphasized connectivity between the GBA and the GC. Now you have the Wii and the DS. Will there be any sort of connectivity between the two systems?

Kamiyama: There are no plans for direct connection between the Wii Crystal Bearers and the DS Ring of Fates at this time. Since Crystal Bearers is still under development, we can’t share too much about it yet. They’re entirely separate games, nothing is shared between them, although they share a similar worldview. We think that people who play Ring of Fates will find certain things to smile at when they play through Crystal Bearers, however.

There we go, a confirmation that the game is still in development! Now, we just have to decide if Square-Enix is lying or not…
