Thread: How bad are Crystal Chronicles games?

    Default How bad are Crystal Chronicles games?

    How bad are these games? I personally despise them and think that they shouldn't have the right to have "Final Fantasy" in their game titles. What do you think about the Crystal Chronicles games?

    "Them" is plural, but there is only one CC game out yet. You cannot yet deem Ring of Fates and the Crystal Bearers bad because they aren't out yet. Ring of Fates actually looks pretty good!

    I haven't played the original, but I heard that if you did have 3 friends, it was a pretty fun game. Single-player wasn't that good I heard, but Ring of Fates promises and lengthy, good singe-player adventure with the typical deep FF story. So I'm not too worried and willing to give these games a chance.

    The first one rot my soul. I thought a second one came out but I didn't care enough to check on it. I won't spend a penny on any Crystal Chronicles game for the rest of my life. I have a rotten soul now thanks to the first one.

    Only one came out so far. But it's an okay game IMO

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    Sad. Now you might miss out 2 (possible) excellent games. Hating/Not buying a game just because it shares a name with another game that left you unsatisfied is sad. SE knows CC didn't do that well. Do you honestly believe they will make the same mistake twice? I don't think so. Look at RoF, they already promised a good single-player with deep story experience. Something the original (from what I've heard) lacked. And from what we've seen, it does indeed look quite promising. I say, don't judge a book by its cover. Wait, play it, then judge. It's the safest way to be a gamer. I've learned that by now.

    I also suggest that you look up on FF CC RoF. I'll help you a bit:

    The official site:
    http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ffcc/

    Site of SE's may party, about FF CC RoF:
    http://www.ffccnews.jp/info/index.html

    The official trailer:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UcCL...elated&search=
    It was on the official site too, but I don't see it anymore. 0_o

    There are a bunch of screens circling around the net, easy to find them. The story of RoF is a family story or something, with the main characters being twins: boy and girl. According to the makers, it's quite a touching tale. The main characters will grow up during the game. As far as gameplay goes, the heart-system from CC got scrapped I believe, replaced with HP and MP. It's for the DS, in full 3D looking even better than FF III DS. If I remember correctly, it takes place before the first CC. There's multiplayer as well, but no Wi-Fi (yet). So you have to know other guys who have a copy of the game to play together (for now).

    That's about all I know in a nutshell. There isn't that much revealed about the game yet. But it will be playable on Square Enix's 2007 party in may.

    About FF CC: The Crystal Bearers (Wii), nothing is known yet. Not even a single screenshot, I believe.
    EDIT: Seached Youtube, found this about TCB (Wii):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIpa_...elated&search=
    It's from E3 2006, I believe...

    It (singular) isn't bad. I think a lot of people were expecting a deep, meaningful story since the other Final Fantasy games have teenagers making googly eyes at each other. This one focused more on atmosphere, and imo it succeeded greatly in that department.

    It was allright, but it got boring a bit quick. Didn't know about this multiplayer thing, though. I'll have to gather up some friends and try it out.

    i personally think that Crystal Cronicles is no good without other players.

    I've never even played it with others but I still like it well enough. Like Roto13 said, I think some people might have been expecting something different than what the game was meant to convey.

    When i first played it I hated it, but then i played it again for kicks and I enjoyed it... never did multiplayer because my GBA broke and SP wouldn't work cause the L&R buttons were pushed down by the link
