SquareSoft of Japan has announced that its looming Final Fantasy game for GameCube will not be a turn-based affair.

Crystal Chronicles will now have real-time fully involved battles like those seen in Legend of Zelda.

Exactly how the rigid Final Fantasy fan-base will react to this remains to be seen, but the news will surely be welcomed by gamers who, in the past, have been put off by lengthy, repeated, non-controlled sequences.

Square also stated that, as we reported several months ago, Final Fantasy Tactics for the Game Boy Advance will be a different game from the PlayStation original, though presented in the same grid-based format.

More on all things SquareSoft as it breaks.
