IGN gives Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers a 6.2.

Their review. Lower than what Gametrailers gave it. I'm still looking forward to playing it though.

Thoughts?

Hm, so much for being AA I guess.

IGN sucks though.

Im still looking forward to poppin in my copy.

Man I had real high hopes for this game. I hate SE motto for the game as "A FF that was fun for the family even grandma" Why square WHY!? Thats the stupidest idea ever. Just cause its wii doesint mean you have to make it for all ages and ruin the gameplay.

all the crystal chronicles games are terrible

can't say I didn't see this one coming.MarthRingman

Yeah. I never understood why my fellow sheep were getting excited for a game that always looked poor.

superapo

Has there ever been a good Crystal Chronicles game?

Ouch. I was really looking forward to the game.

I'll still probably get it.

Expected. All FF spin-offs are bad, except tactics. Tykain

dissidia was fun.

I actually thought it looked good... and I hate Final Fantasy. Definitely not even renting.

the crystal chronicles series have been great but it is really depended on multiplayer since the single player have been kinda lacking

gamespot and gametrailers are the best reviewers in the business so ill count on them..i do disagree with the score in some gs reviews, but they hit the nail on the head with the actual content of the written review IMHO!

i dont expect this game to be any worse than the conduit, which they give an 8.6 to!!! The only reason people were excited for this is that its the first fully focused single player crystal chronicles..the video diaries looked real good, and the trailers looked fun...

just one question..I heard this game was made by the people who made ff9.Is that true?

Eh, I will try it when it makes its way over to ther bomba bin. Haven't been one to trust IGN let alone on an RPG and story. The opinions have been mixed but I have been hyped for this so I'm damn well going to play it.

Basically my thoughts as well. I can handle all the mini game crap if the fighting is good and the story is solid. Unfortunately it seems the combat isn't up to snuff though the story is considered quite good.

IGN loves a game they hate it here.. so we should expect nothing less then an 8 here.VideoGameGuy

Crystal Bearers gets a 5.5 here. Trust me.

I never understood that. I mean didint the GC have 4 ports. How come we just couldint use those.

Another JRPG flop... They only success when they decide to ditch the whole JRPG think and do a WRPG now it seems.loco145

Yeah, in the west.

and the great wii games just keep stacking up. humber_matus

The GBA is used to show inventory, command slots, maps, stats, and bonus conditions. The GBA gives each player their own screen and menus to navigate through. I know how hard it is to gather the required hardware, but I don't see how the game would work without the GBA connection.

Even though there were annoyances, I still can't find a multi-player console RPG that offers a comparable experience. Oh well. Maybe someone will develop my dream MCRPG some day. I'm pretty disappointed where SE is taking this series.

Anyone remember this thread? Willy105 saying that Crystal Bearers looked more exciting than FFXIII. :lol:

"Its astounding how great this game looks, I had little to no interest in it 4 months ago, now Im considering importing" - Oath

"Some people like teen-drama rpgs with androgynous prettyboys, some like teh kiddeh adventurous characters with cartoon grfx. Different strokes for different folks. Bring on teh kiddeh" - Thunderdrone (I'll take my "prettyboy" game over this crap).

Good. Now people can stop shoving this in my face when I call out the Wii's lack of good JRPGs.sonicthemegaman

The game LOOKED rediculously good, hell, before I got my hands on it and hearing all the reviews I may have chose it over FFXIII if I had the chance. Of course, things have changed :P

Im not knocking the games,but I wouldint trust a famitsu score if it was the last mag on earth.

I dont know about that. Since these days we have online. The only game I can think of thats an jrpg and has a mode to play with your friends through online is white knight chornicles.

IGN sucks though.

Some reviewers gave it a 7 or 8, so I'm going to rent it.

Crystal Chronicles has been poor since ... well ever.

I guess I won't be purchasing it then.
