Gamecube exclusive title, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles began shipping to stores across North America today. Crystal Chronicles is Nintendo first original Final Fantasy game since the days of the 16 bit on Super Nintendo. For rpg fans, if you haven't gotten a Gamecube now due to lack of rpgs then here's a good excuse to get one. On top of that, those that pre-ordered a copy of the game will get a free Gameboy Advance Link cable. Crystal Chronicles takes Final Fantasy fans back to the early days where crystals were once the center epic of all Final Fantasy games. With the Gameboy Advance system, four players can team up to fight enemies and solve puzzles. So get your copy today.

SWEET CHI!!! i know the date for it here in the UK but sadly i don't have a game cube but i know others who will be pleased. besides this new Final Fantasy should be a good one no?

Oh great news. That link cable thing you mentioned, I read that people who preorder it in Europe will get the OST CD along with it. Me and Val made a topic about it somewhere. Might be the same for America then.

But I hope you review this game Chi. Would be nice to see a GC game reviewed for once.
You never played Shadow Hearts so it's not on the list either.

Yep, I got a call this morning saying that my copy is in at gamestop. Probably go and get it this weekend or friday. Can't wait to play it, I have to pick up a GBA link cable for my brother so he can play it too, though.

BTW, I reserved it and got a free link cable. Thats a US deal as well, in case you're wondering.

Yeah, today when i'm out of school, i will be getting mine today w/ my boyfriend. OH i can't wait till i get my greedy little paws on it!!! Laters

all I have to do is muster up 50 bucks, and I'll have the game eventually. But does anyone mind telling me what the game boy advance is used for in the game?
Id

I've played the game, so I'll talk about it. Well, first the basics...


As you probably know it's a Kingdom Hearts/Phantasy Star style game. You set out in a crystal caravan to collect this stuff from these special trees. I forget the name of the stuff though. You get one drop from each tree and need to get three drops before advancing to the next year. You choose from four races. Clavat, Lilties, Yuke and Selkies. Clavat is all-around, Lilties is attack power, Yuke is magic and Selkies something, I'm guessing defense. So you have this crystal that protects you and there's different elements you need to cross myasmas which lead into a different part of the world. The levels are pretty basic, a few levels and you attack. You can pick up magic and use it. Set commands and all sort of stuff. As you win more levels things get harder. I haven't really found a plot in this yet, though.

supposedly u see the storly line as time goes by, the guide says that u should play it as leisurly as u want. Its pretty cool i like the fact that u can pick what u look like. im excited to see how this evolves in to a real story.

ok FF crystal cronicles is gonna be great just like everything else square releases but i heard that square wasnt gonna release anything on nintendo anymore not since games like chrono trigger on snes because of some argument is the reason its back because of the stupid mergre with Enix? some tell me plz

I can't wait till FF:CC comes out, we in the UK have to wait until March 12th (I think) till we can get our hands on it, but still I can't wait.

My brother and I played it last night and a lot of today. It's really fun. Imagine Gauntlet, with a good plot, big world map, lots of side plots and funny moogles. Your characxter also loks pretty cool, the cusimization is limited but the options are pretty cool in themselves.

Darnet whay do Europeans get such good stuff! I mean, tHEY GET QUIRKY GAMES AND OFFERS LIKE THE jAPANESE, SO WHY CANT WE!!!!!! aMERICA IS YOUR BEST BET WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMER VALUE!!!!!!1sO WHY DO THE REST OF THE WORLD TREATS U LIKE WE,RE CLUELESS!!!!!1 i MEAN WE HAVE A PRETTY SZABLE ANIME AND MNGA FOLLOWING!!!!!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell are you babbaling on about?

I don't know but perhaps he or she was referring to what I said about Euroe getting the Original Soundtrack as well.

yes, he want to mention this! but that is not correct! not all in Europe get the soundtrack as well! only in France they will get the soundtrack too! (i'm from Germany, and i won't get some too )!

Dude, you can't possibly say that europeans get better games deals than the americans. Please, tell me that you didn't say that. Otherwise my head might just explode.

Most people in Europe haven't heard of Disgaea, You have all four dot hacks while the first one is just coming out for us, and you get games that have ben cancelled for UK release, like Suikoden III!

Wow. THnx for the info. I didnt even know that this game had come out yet. Thnx. Its 50 bucs right? If so then I need to get it. Hopefully my b-day will get it for me. Well thnx for the news.
To reply to the european thing, Europeans get things just a lot later then us Americans who get it a lot later then those Japanese. lol. SO I dont really know if Europeans get the better deals

....
That things pretty nasty...

(Post directed towards FF:CC and the above post)

europeans NEVER get better games deals than the americans! just as you say, we never see all the games! (so i import all the good ones *G* just as suikoden III , lunar I+II and star ocean 3 dc etc. ...)!
and most time we have only 50Hz, and a smaller picture (pal balken *G*)! it's very pity! so most time i buy a game, it's the us version ! and we have to wait a long time to play the games! (i must know it *G* i'm from european *G*)! and if you ask a lot of europeans, i'm sure, they will say to you, that they buy most of the time the us version of a game (like me *G*)!

and i have all four dot hack's too *G* (i love them *G*)!

Don't ignore me! What did you do to my forum page compaining that
this site had no FF Crystal Chronicles Mp3's (or atleast midis). Just
get them already!!!

Get those Mp3's!!! Crystal Chronicals!!!

i sick and tired of the way the new RPG's are being made they are not as challenging and they are less fun i a big fan of old school games ff7 is the one that i favor and fantasy star the ones that are good are the ones that are the best.

Well Ive Beaten the game there realy is no story till the last level (The Last boss is hard but i had lots of Pheonix Downs) But the game is all about the game play it can Definitly use a better story line Oh and all female selkies are hot!!!!!!!!!!

BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
