Now, i know Crystal Chronicles is a primarily multiplayer game. The way it was designed, it's meant to be enjoyed by friends with time and a bit of money on their hands. Or maybe that curious and independently wealthy hermit offspring of that late rich banker who inherited his father's entire fortune after the old man asphyxiated in the throes of passionate orgasm with his mistress, Moonbeam, and who now throws tea parties with his stuffed animals - Lenore, Wallybear and Shnookums - for each of whom he has bought a GBA.

As i have no stuffing fetishes and few friends with the requisite hardware, i am curious about the game's single player element. i have heard it to be entertaining but bland and lonely, and seeing as i'd be playing it as such most if not all of the time, i wonder if it is worth the purchase price. Yet the thought of a Final Fantasy game for my new GameCube sounds better than a night with Moonbeam. Any thoughts?
