Well I personally loved the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube because I actually had 4 friends playing along with me through it 3 times.The single player IMO failed. The only 2 problems were the ring lot system after a boss(even if you hit the target score with the 4 GBA's you could still end up with not the proper item tier), and the fact that the jobs/classes were not very defined. Miasma drop year and non drop year also mattered which made things over complicated to get the "Relic Weapons" ingredients to show up in the ring item wheel, which I did but it took a very long time(months).

But this game is amazing now. Here are the SE trailer in JP.

The game now offers true classes. Warrior, Ranger, Black Mage, White Mage and a support class. You can play the game via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection because the game is on the DS which is great. Makes the need for the link cable to gamecube nonsense of old no longer needed. Which saves people some cash.

I also love that the game has a complete single-player mode, in fact you can make a custom moogle and import it into the multiplayer mode. Also there is a chain system for melee this time as well. Not to mention it has voice actors this time.

I am loving the fact that I can play with Gerry in the UK(March 21 launch for the UK folks) via the Wi-Fi with the Mic working and all with my DS through this action RPG if I wanted too. So on March 11th I'm going to need some of you on my DS friends list so we can run through it together =P.

Japanese magazines late last year on the JP release gave it 9/9/8/8 ratings from Fumitsu magazine.

Just something for you all to get excited about.

I'm also looking forward to Ring of Fates. I got the original for GC when it came out, but unfortunately I could only play single player due to the fact that people in my town are about as interested in FF games as much as the plague.

I'm really looking forward to multiplayer with this game ^^ I'm gonna get a USB connector for my DS just to play this online =)

Thank god my internet returns to me properly in 4 days!
 
Awesome Gerry, were going to have to setup some times to make a party and go through the game lol. We should take up applications =P.
 
Had no idea this was coming so soon. Definitely one of the funner game series I've played. Especially when you have 3+ people. Otherwise it's only ho-hum at best.
Cannot wait. Especially since they have Ranger in there =P

Yeah man I've already decided I'm running RNG in my group lol.
 
sounds fun. I'mma pick it up I think.
 
Is it just me, or is there no actual online play for this?
It's just exchanging moogles that you create in single player, or so I'm led to believe.

That totally takes any desire to buy the game out of me.

Is that true? The only reason I was interested in this game was to play online with my friend who lives on the other side of the country.
 
Yeah. Local multiplayer only. Gogo massive fail.
 
Picked it up. First time through it was fun but super easy. Towards the end of the game I was ripping through everything. I started a second play-through last night, and it is much harder now, even with me starting with my levels gained and sweet gear.

Your party members on single player never seem to do anything. They attack so slowly, and if you move around too much during a fight, they will stop fighting and follow you around, which was annoying.

I loved the fighting though. I used the main character Yuri for most of the game. Magic combat wasn't that great on single player, though. It seemed kinda pointless to try to line up rings when in the time you spent aligning and misfiring, you could have just stabbed everything to death.

Was fun as hell though, I really liked it. I think my first play through was 12 1/2 hours.
 
Yeah I agree the first time through was not very challenging. I ran through it again with 3 friends and it was soo much more fun. Im really glad I snagged this.
 
it was way too easy towards the end. I beat the last boss first try without Yuri losing any HP. <3 that Drain Sword. I bet I could have soloed it without using any other characters.
 
I'm debating if I want to get this or not. I want a new game for my DS..but I might just wait til I get a Wii after I come back from break cause I want to play Wiiiii xD lol
 
Such a great game if you can get past the very beginning. The first hour or so is just retarded.

you should get it, it's pretty kick ass. Can't find the words to explain it more though.

I finished the beginning quick and played the new game+ which made things a lot more complicated but in the spare time with my buddies, I multi-play it.
