    i think u miss interpeted tha word final fantasy its not base in tha gameplay action footage its base on tha story line hell if u want a loot summon and all that other stuff then go back and play games n dat catergory and i think thats whats wrong with people they miss interpeted tha word final fantasy and makeing tha wrong meaning in it. its all about tha story line.

    This is supposed to be a final fantasy game? No Swords, no summons, no party of 3-4 characters? No impressive cinematic moments? No random encouters, no grinding for levels and loot. FF8 looked better then this and that was 2 gens ago.. You wii guys are going to hate my comments but I don't care... This is just a cash grab... look at that gameplay.. moving rocks around on the screen, woo , thats not final fantasy , thats pure gimmick mini game stuff. Seriously, whats up with this game... The last real final fantasy game was Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core, it may have turned things around abit in gameplay, but it still had the essentials minus the party.. And 13, 13vs. and Agito are going to rock. I guess wii needs its own Final Fantasy lite, or scratch that how about Wii Motion Fantasy 1 - from used to make great games Square..should of never merged Enix.

    "i think we'd both benefit if you went on a diet" LOL very funny.
    The in-game graphics and CGI cutscenes are absolutely gorgeous especially for a Wii game. The voice acting is also amazing, but the bad lip syncing drags it down. Everything else looks fun and unique the crystal chronicles series.

    @ Blazakenki

    The game is 1-2 Players
    But Player 2 can only join and help at specific parts of the story so always playing with 2 players wont be a possiblilty if I understood the homepage the right way.... xD

    Dude get over it turn base rpgs are good,but square enix trying something new is good.i like this game i might get it if its multiplayer.and theres allredy SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH turn base rpgs in the world,sometimes a good fast-paced game is nice and made by square enix? sounds pretty good to me,like Kingdom Hearts.My point is theres enough rpgs in the world.

  • IKSSE

    Posted Oct 30, 2009 12:54 pm PT

    What ever happened to the good old days when Enix made turned based RPG's that were....good?

  • Dualmask

    Posted Oct 30, 2009 10:07 am PT

    Looks interesting, and I like how it makes good use of the Wii Remote. I would have preferred more than just one playable character though. Seeing as how this is a FFCC game, multiplayer should have been a strong aspect. Then again, this could have a kind of Crisis Core maner of appeal with the single player action RPG focus.

  • Yoshilila

    Posted Oct 30, 2009 7:27 am PT

    I think ffcc is something entirely different than ff... I mean it has crystals, 4 tribes, attacks and magics sometimes have different stages (can´t remember ice, icera or icega in any ff games although I only played ff6 and started ff9 but didn´t like it that much) or being able to coombine you´re spell with other characters to get gravity or slow or other spells (if I am not mistaken than in ff you aren´t able to combine you´re spells with others AT ALL)

    But the crystal being the main story in all ffcc games and it having the 4 tribes is already enough reason for me to say that ff and ffcc can´t be compared with each other.... different story lines different type of characters etc.

    Hope I am not the only one thinking the same way

    Interesting ! Not as awesome as other FF's though

  • Zabimaru1

    Posted Oct 30, 2009 4:01 am PT

    It looks a little different than regular final fantasy games, but that's not nessceserely a bad thing. I'll keep my eye on it.

    @sfried
    I agree. Tetsuya Nomura has been given too much credit for the success of FF7. The only reason he got that job was because they couldn't use Yoshitaka Amano's designs to make character models since they were too complex and ornate. Anyways, Square Enix can't go back to what they were. They just become this huge corporation that milks franchises. Many of they key people that have made it successful have already left and by that I'm talking about the original Final Fantasy team.

    Looks like a game that I'll be purchasing, an old FF fan here

  • Fernicum

    Posted Oct 30, 2009 1:04 am PT

    I have a feeling Layle will be one of the most remembered Square Enix characters. From what I've noticed with all the preview videos, Layle's character has been given a lot of attention. I've been comparing FF13 previews and I don't feel as much character in that game. Maybe it's just me. I'm wondering if there's a chance Crystal Bearers could outsell FF13.

    this may save the Wii

    Hey, did you see those graphics? Wii graphics! Why do so few Wii games have Wii graphics?

    Thank you Square for bringing Wii graphics to the Wii! I salute you for not using Dreamcast graphics like everybody else does.

  • Evil_Robo

    I thought the previous FF:CC games were fairly pump, this however looks like serious effort has been put into it. I know we'll get the usual suspects trying to talk the game down, but facts are, it looks like a worthy purchase.

    @ ACEGamer89
    ...Unless you remember that a lot of people are doing returns the day after Christmas...
    It could be a good move. I am looking forward to this game...
    I hope it is a good warm-up for Final Fantasy XIII.

    God, the japanese spokesperson seemed as bored as I was... The game looks fun though!

  • sfried

    "I hope Final Fantasy 13 keeps the essence of the other FF games done by Squaresoft. This kind of games is not fair with what the FF identity is."

    Considering Tetsuya Nomura pretty much ruined the essence of Final Fantasy with his choice of protagonists and fashion senses, I would much rather that the Crystal Chronicles series take over the numbered installments as the main franchise.

  • shii666

    Posted Oct 29, 2009 7:32 pm PT

    Hmm... I hope this is good as opposed to simply exploiting the Wii controls for cash... Square Enix is a company that likes polish, so I imagine at least that the gameplay will work...

    i hope this is better than the other CC games. this one looks very promising.

  • Ianoren

    Posted Oct 29, 2009 6:55 pm PT

    I was hoping for something multiplayer, but this looks even better than its previous two CC games. WAY Better

  • BigNalive

    The other Crystal chronnicles were horrible. This one promises.

  • ThGy007

    Posted Oct 29, 2009 6:32 pm PT

    In my experience crystal chronicles isn't as good as usual FF. but this does look good.

  • eldin4444

    Posted Oct 29, 2009 6:30 pm PT

    Well what can I say, this isn't a REAL Final Fantasy game but it's the best FF game on the wii, in the other hand the concept seems new, fresh, so I'm definitely buying this game, hope the don't mess it up.
