Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

March 31, 2003

Reunited at Last

If the recent orrent of rumers hold true - which we're 99.9 percent certain theyw ill - the video game industy will once again be blessed by the collaborative efforts of a nintendo-published and Square Soft-devleoped game. The two companies worked well together in the 16 bit era, and we're confident that they'll be able to rekindle that old flame for the games of today. The first title to emerge from this soon to be announced union will more than likely be Crystal Chronicles - a simultaneous four playr action/RPG for the GameCube.

While the story and world thrive off the traditional Final Fantasy vibe, the gameplay is quite different - relying more on the team dynamic than it does individual heros. For instance, when assembling a party, it'll be in your best interest to mix character classes. The Japanese release date is currently slated as late summer, and while Nintendo won't confirm it directly, the US street date should take place shortly after.

I read a thing FF:CC at some sight. Apparently it has nothing to do with any fo the other FF's and that it's really crappy.



*Edit* p.s. They're coming out with a Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. I don't remember what system it was for(sorry) but it has enhanced graphics and gameplay so it should be pretty good seeing how the first one kicked some tactical ass.

Out of Square... I'd have to say Chrono Trigger. It has one of the best battle engines I've ever seen in a RPG, you could choose to engage enemies if you wanted to or not, you could do practically anything you wanted in the game, some of the best battles I've ever played through, best video game music PERIOD, it's funny, has a very deep plot... everything! Graphics are still some of the best I've ever seen (art was done by Akira Toriyama, who made DBZ and Dragon Warrior series), each character in the game had deep personalities... IT IS EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR IN A RPG!! PERIOD!!

This is my 2nd fave RPG of all time... My fave RPG is EarthBound. That game is just... awesome.

Alright folks, I have to say I read all the posts and I agree a little with everyone here and there. In my opinion for Music, storyline, and plot along with overall gameplay Final Fantasy Tactics for PSX is by far the best RPG... by FAR. Now, for characters, sure super mario RPG was fantastic. Who doesnt like throwing chomps at shyguys with bowser . Final Fantasy 7 as much as it was the 'staple' of every rpg gaming household, it does not compare to the pure gameplay that was FFVI (Final Fantasy 3). The characters in 6 were purely amazing. Shadow, Mog, Setzer... SABIN

Kingdom Hearts was actually a very fun game... not the greatest but great concept and very fun. The second one is being released quite soon and will be even better.

People also do not realize some great quality square games that were made. Such as Bahamut Lagoon(the last SNES square game)

Also dont forget about Super Metroid one of the BEST SNES games. Or games in general

Unfortunatly this is a best Square RPG poll but here are the top 5 RPGs Ever by far
1.FF: Tactics, 2.FF6, 3.The Legend of Zelda:A link to the past,
4.Super Mario RPG, 5.FF7

Just to clarify.. Chrono Trigger NOT THAT GREAT! (cept magus was cool as hell) otherwise a so so game. Secret of Mana charging a weapon was never fun. Seiken Densetsu 3 was great!. Xenogears fantastic but doesnt make my list. FF2 Cecil and Kain awesome but other chars SUCKED!. FF5 job class system was a great idea but ahead of its time. FF8 has the coolest characters (squall,zell,seifer) with one of the worst battle systems, the guy who thought DRAW was a good idea was fired..not really but should have been. FF9... all i can say is THIS IS WHEN SQUARE WENT IN THE CRAPPER. Horrible characters crap story, main character was a clone monkey kid from some planet .. GARBAGE ugh. FFX the biggest joke ever released other then mystic quest P.O.S nothing good about it...blitzball LMAO. Finally FFXI and FFX-2 as i ranted in another forum topic about FF sequels this proves that square is over.. FFXI or everquest (Throws up in a bucket) is a travesty to the square name and since when have they done SEQUELS!.. ESPECIALLY to the worst of all FF's. Carrying over the worst character FROM the damn game. Hell the Draw system for magic in FF8 was terrible but Yuna becoming Lara Croft and FFx-2 being charlies angels/Tomb Raider Ripoff/HORRIBLE, just shows that obviously square doesnt listen to its fans. Give me an SNES anyday.

Graphics got substituted for gameplay and I want it back

Omicron u forgot to put in .HACK//Infection and Mutation

[sithmercenaryboss]

Oh NM it's a Square poll (moves back slowly with hands above head)

[Soliloquy]

Tactics. I loved tactics. Not askin for it to be put on or anything, I just fanatically loved Final Fantasy Tactics. Chrono Trigger was great two, my top three list is Tactics, Chrono, then Earthbound but I dont know who made earthbound. Damn, I feel old school now haha. (busts out commodore 64)
