Crystal Chronicles

[Pasquale]

I remember when FF:CC came out. My brothers and I all bought those gameboy connector cord things so we could play. We played through a few "years" and then never went back to it.

I tried to play it again this weekend. The connector wouldn't work with my DS Lite, so I played single player for a little while.

The game isn't as bad as I remember it being. Granted, after beating a few zones, it gets repetitive as hell, but I thought the fighting was pretty cool, and I liked the characters.

I heard there was a DS one coming out, does anyone know if it will be like the Cube one was? I hope theyget rid of the bucket carrying and throw in some sweet multiplayer. With all the time spent in the Menu re-arranging Commands, it seems like it would be perfect for the DS.

Also, I hope they make the bosses tougher. All the ones in CC are weaksauce.

I loved this game to death, almost... The things I really didnt like are:

-Cant really explore, no matter how much I wanted to... I found several 'secret' area's that I really wanted to go look at, but there were invisible walls
-No matter what you equipped (other than sword and shield) you ALWAYS looked the same!
-Absolutely HATED the linear map


Things I liked...

-The real time fighting
-Combo and spell combo systems
-The graphics!
-Fun cooperative gameplay.


But this is from someone who enjoys 'zelda-esque' games. I cant wait for CC2

AFAIK, they've done away with the chalice system for both new CC games.
In a movie they've released, it shows a compact crystal (like the dude was making in the first one).
The DS will supposedly use the Wi-Fi connections, but whether this is for multiplayer, or just trading items, we don't know yet. There is also supposed to be some connectivity between the DS game and the Wii game, but aside from that, we don't really know anything about it.
The DS one is reportedly like the Cube one as far as commands and stuff go, but they've apparently added a jump feature.

AFAIK? (as far as I know?)

lol just double checking, thats one Ive never seen before.. Just a few weeks ago I learned what FFS means... And didnt know what ibtl meant until a few months ago. Lol

 

[Malagra]

Yup. Another one that took me awhile to get was IIRC (if i recall/remember correctly)

I don't see why people don't just say some of them completely out.. though I lazily do it too XD but when people aren't being lazy I've still seen em type it. Ah well.. (and where have you gone Malagra just not in an MMO mood too?)

The newer CCs have jumping, and non-magic ranged attacks(bows, etc.) Yes, no more chalice. DS will have wireless cooperative play, but wether or not that extends to NWC has yet to be confirmed.
