Just one more week till FF:CC debuts in America. fanboys should be happy. :wink:

Not getting too many great reviews from what I've seen. Not to mention the almost required GBAs as well as willing friends to play this game "fully".

Ive been playing the Jp version (Downloaded from Bittorrent) and its good. Its not the best but a good game if you have GBAs and 4 friends.

yup. i got 3 cables so far just for this. gonna get a 4th one soon.

are u really currently playing all of those? i only have like 5 games on my currently playing list.

I really like FF, as well as action oriented RPGs. Do you think that this game will be worth it if you are only going to play in single player?

"The bottom line is that Crystal Chronicles is a fun multiplayer game if you own enough GBAs...The single player game, on the other hand, isn't nearly as fun."

"As a single-player game, I can't really recommend it because as far as I'm concerned the bad outweighs the good."

"If you have no friends or no GBA systems, you're out of luck. If you've got both, give Crystal Chronicles a rental at the very least."

i guess not...unless you're a hardcore FF fan.

Don't take IGN's wors for anything. They're usually wrong.

But probably not this time, the game looks to suck.

But IGN still sucks.

I agree IGN sucks fat sausage... but I have to agree with the opinion.

The only real fault with this game is if you dont have friends with GBAs... granted nintendo's sold roughtly 2 as many GBAs world wide than cubes if you HAVE friends at all chances are they have one.

...hell I have 2.(GBAs)

egm gave it three 8's. not quite up to final fantasy standards, but not bad. they said the single player is ok, but multi is awesome.

I think multi player will be awesome, despite of the bucket aspect of the game. The battle system is reminiscent of Secret of Mana, so its always a blast yelling at your buddies and telling them how much they suck for not healing the other party members.

I already got my 4 link cables (thanks to eb and gamestop for letting me pre-order for $5). It looks really fun.

If folks are buying it to be something like traditional (and in my opinion rather shitty) Final Fantasy fare, look elsewhere.

If you've got the friends and GBAs, its brilliant.

etoychest had a much better review than IGN's "Its not like other FF games, waaaah!" one.

not too thrilled seeing as how my trade in vouchers from ebgames.com still hasnt arrived

Tycho at Penny Arcade pretty much nailed the IGN review to the wall and proceded to eat its soul.

Excellent insight on the game too.

Yeah, IGN is doubtless one of the stupidest gaming sites around. I hate it. All the things they point out not liking about FFCC are things I like about it. It's not at all like recent FFs, you say? Great, cause a lot of the recent ones have been horrible (VIII, X, X-2...). I don't care for Penny Arcade, but I agree with their criticism of the review.

I've seen reviewers on IGN flat out say they hate a certain gener and then PROCEED to give a shitty review to a game in that gener that mostpeople generally concider a good game.

Face it, the only reason to go to IGN is for the media downloads.(ie. screenshots and .AVIs)

yeah IGN pretty much ruined itself for me.....as far as FF:CC goes, its not a traditional final fantasy, but it seems like it is going to be a lot of fun. I already got some people buying it so we can all play

by the way, deadzone, how is harvest moon for GBA and why aren't you playing the GC version?

I think it looks like a great game myself, the graphics appear to be outstanding and the game is getting some solid reviews. I'm not a fan of all the emphasis on the mp portion of the game, but I will certainly give it a chance.

I really can't wait to see what some of the spells look like, should be some nice visuals

Probably because the GCN version isn't out until mid-march
