This game is very enjoyable! Not everyone has tons of friends to play it with either, so it's better they made it single player focused IMO.

    Good to know. Now I want this game more than ever =)
    the only thing that frustrates me is making weapons >.>
    I always enjoy the fact that you can, but it always annoys me that you have to find the "recipe" multiple times. Especially now that I have 3 characters, and I have a recipe that all 3 can use, but only one of it! Makes me want to go back through the area I just played to try and get another two. But what if I make it with the wrong special ingredient, and the special attribute isn't very good! Then I'll want more! AHHHH

    that's about the only thing that I don't like about the game, because I'm sad like that. On another note, seeing what they have equipped is really cool. Like one of my guys is dressed as a dragoon, another a white mage, and another a cat!

    ah, they pulled off an FF XI when it comes to equipping gear. Can anyone equip any armor or do they have set armor?

    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!"

    all the stuff I've run into so far, anyone can equip. There might be special stuff later but idk. At this point I have basic iron/steel gear, and have recently aquired dragoon stuff, white mage stuff, and black mage stuff. Anyone can equip them. However weapons are specific per character, though one formula makes a different weapon depending on who in your party is ordering the item made. AKA, fiery weapon recipe will make a fire blade for the Clavat, Fire staff for the Yuke, and Fire Bow for the Selkie.

    I finally got to put a few hours into the localized release. I only have positive things to say thus far.

    It's nice to see an offshoot game by Square that truly has the feel of quality at its core. There was a time when this was the norm for Square, but it has certainly not been so in the last few years.

    I'm looking forward to putting many more hours into this one, and hopefully getting some friends together to see what the multiplayer still has to offer.

    Luckily, it will be much easier to gather friends to play the multiplayer missions in this incarnation of the series.

    I am disappointed to hear about the lack of multiplayer connectivity between the main game and the side missions. I think that my entire appeal towards the Crystal Chronicles subseries was that it was made to play with multiple players like how the Mana series used to be, so I can see where you're coming from, Necronopticous.

    well my FF:CC friend code is:
    1547 5023 4203
    you get it via the mog trader page

    turns out you level a character completely separate for multiplay. I played a lil on my own, and got a female selkie to level 10. Not sure if multiplay works via WiFi or just local. If it's just local, I'm afraid I'll never get a group to play with, which sucks cause I do love this game.

    Multiplayer only has local play, unfortunately.

    You cannot connect with others over a WiFi network? Is there a custom firmware solution to this like Xlink Kai? Why does it give a Friends Code, then?

    It isn't dumb if you have a moogle as great as mine.

    trading moogles is great and all, but it's dumb that it's the ONLY reason for friend codes

    I'm not really familiar with what situations call for friend codes, but I know it only supports local wireless play. Maybe you still need friend codes for that? Nintendo's paranoia and adherence to the worst possible online functionality for their platforms is so depressing.

    Are all players required to have a copy of the game in a multiplayer session?

    I think that I could get some people together for the side missions, but I doubt that I can convince them to play a game in a series that seems confused in its focus —
