Along with all of the other news in the loaded Nintendo Direct last week, it was quietly revealed that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition will require Nintendo Switch Online membership for online play.



Nintendo appears to be treating the Nintendo Switch Online membership similarly to Sony with their PlayStation Plus membership in regards to online play, as Sony leaves it up the developers if PS Plus is needed.



Meaning this is likely a decision made on Square Enix's part to require Nintendo Switch Online for online play. This also means Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition will also likely require a PlayStation Plus subscription for online play on PlayStation 4.



This is not a big surprise, as World of Final Fantasy requires PlayStation Plus for its online mode. Which also means it likely will on Nintendo Switch as well.



You can check out a little bit of new footage for the remaster below in the Nintendo Direct.
