A recent article translation from IGN of an interview between a Square-Enix representative and the magazine, Nintendo Dream, has revealed some not-so-great news for Wii owners. This year's release of the Crystal Chronicles will mostly likely come with no downloadable Virtual Console content.

According to Shinji Hashimoto:

We feel that the Japanese game market still requires [physical] media. Also, FF and Dragon Quest are played by a wide range of users, from children to adults, so there are limitations when you consider the problems that we would have with billing systems.

At least in Japan. But let's face it, if Japan doesn't get Final Fantasies 0-1,000 on the VC, neither will we. Kim Phu
