They've been dropping hints that it won't be multiplayer. *shrug* I think multiplayer will be more the DS game's bag.

You are not a peasant who just learned to swing a stick, you are Quake, the most powerful man on the continent.

Seriously though, I just want the guy's goggles. Those are cool.

Well, no, they've said they are FOCUSING on single player...That doesn't mean it won't be multiplayer at all...

Dropping multiplayer is the newest Wii trend.

MP3 lacks the WiFi logo on the boxart!

A game that starts you off as "powerful" would be FINAL FIGHT STARRING MAYOR MIKE HAGGAR.

Or Spiderman.

[Bill Aurion]

They said "powerful," not "whiny and wimpy"...  

[Dirk Temporo]

Powerful=Starting at ECL 7 in D&D, as opposed to ECL 1.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Action Replay also makes you powerful.

So does Red Bull and BBQ'd eel.

[Smash_Brother]

Mike Haggar did not whine.

If there is multiplayer in some form, I hope it's a mode outside of the main story. The Wii needs traditional-esque RPGs like this, and I'm glad one of the first is gonna have the Final Fantasy name behind it. They can have a Final Fantasy multiplayer mini-game mode for all I care, as long as I get my story-driven, deep gameplay, J-Angst, 50+ hour RPG...

Yeah, and by powerful, I'm hoping that they mean he starts off with a selection of powers that grow more powerful/customized over the course of the game. That, and maybe he'll have some weak tag-along friends who you have to level up, like the long-haired boy in the trailer that he's obviously in love with (hey, gotta find the yaoi in everything).

But wasn't multiplayer FF: CC GC strongest point? the connectivity was what killed it, but the whole point of it was precisely multiplayer, without it its an spinoff without even something interesting.

my biggest problem with chrystal chronicles is i cant find my game gba gcn link cable, which sucks because i used to use it to cheat in animal crossing

[that Baby guy]

If it plays like Kingdom Hearts, and has party members like Kingdom Hearts, I hope the multiplayer lets friends control those characters.  Of course, I have no idea about how it plays.  I'm just saying I always wished other people could have controlled Donald, Goofy, and movie character X.

No. As much as people want to defend FF:CC, even when you got four people together with GBAs and cables, the game had more problems. The gameplay had issues, so in my opinion FF:CC's strong point was its graphics, sadly enough.

I played the entire game through playing with two players and thought the game was great, though repetitive, since we both used the mage characters.  If one of us had been something else, it would have worked a lot better, too.  I would have loved to play the game in the four player mode.
Of course, my favorite thing to do was to hold the bucket, then drop it and make a break to somewhere I thought there was a chest off screen.  It worked pretty well, if you ask me.  I know people didn't like the bucket, but it was definitely an interesting concept, IMO.

[Kairon]

I actually volunteered to carry the bucket. It was a job I was glad to do.

I can think of a few ways that players could bounce in and out of the single player and not ruin it.
