Well, this is my first post ever. Tell me if it's okee doke. Anyways.
How come there aren't very many posts on FF:CC? It's should basically be the best GC RPG for a long time! Doesn't anybody care?! I do... oh well. I mean, FF:CC is a good reason for us young 'uns to get a job to support our hobbies. I just hope the controls, story, and multiplayer gameplay makes up for my hard work. It should make out to be a pretty good FF game. The only bad part... four GBA's and connectors for multi... poo in the face! Now someone share some info on this game, please!

There are tons of post on FF:CC, you just have to actually look. The search function is very useful for that sort of thing! And I don't think it will be the best GC RPG for a long time either... SoA and ToS will most likely be better than it
and maybe even Baten Kaitos

Umm... thanks for the info! I really needed it. This is harder than it looks.

i dont think ill buy it
On the other Hand im very excited about Tales of Phantasia, love the looks and the fact that is realtime action. It also must be huge because it uses 2Discs.

they said that in single player modes there isnt enough story and it is mostly a dungeon crawler
some reviewers have bashed it where others have said it did what it was supposed to- which is make a good multiplayer game
tales of symphonia is on 2 disks mostly because there is a lot of voice acting and of course the hand drawn anime cut scenes (which are great)
most tales games take around 25-30 hours to beat so this one should be no different
and even baten kaitos is on 2 disks- mostly for the fmv and voice acting as well
i personally cant wait for both tales and baten- both are looking like excellent rpgs

Wow. I'd hate to be told by some guy 7,000 miles away that a game sucks, and actually take it as gospel.

Dengeki's reviews were 5, 6, 7 (avg 6) from it's three reviewers. Flaws were plot and not enough skill developement (which is key to most RPGS).
Famitsu gave it 33/40 which is solid though Famitsu also gave Courtside 2002 the same score awhile back.
But yeah, it really doesn't sound like it's going be a smash hit. It's going end up like "Unlimited Sega" which got so mixed scores it wasn't funny :0.
Same either loved it or some utterly hated it.

Besides, it's got Penny-Arcade's stamp of approval, which is enough for me in a lot of cases. Like PGC's, I trust PA's reviews.

Typical. I usually save my judgement on games until first-hand experience, not minor words of people I don't even know or trust.

Yes, same here, I'd rather get first-hand experience. If I'm really into a certain series, I'll love it no matter what! But now everybody's convinced me to buy ToS and Baiten Kaibos... or whatever. It's some weird Japanese name. And that GBA thing sounds fun, but that'll be a drain of money outta me. It's great games like those that inspire jobless gameplayers like me to get a job!

They're the same family that bought PSO, and we played that offline for hours upon hours. So there's no doubt that we'll play FF ALOT. They finally got ONLINE in PSO, so if offline could keep us interested since release, online should hold us over till FF:CC. Woop!

That's just like my game-buying strategy. Some games like Mario Party, Timesplitters and especially sports games are meant for multiplayer so my friends and I usually get one copy of the game between all of us.

Those of you in Optimists Anonymous can keep on hoping it's delayed to give multi–player a go over so we can use controllers. Who knows? Maybe all your hoping and wishing will come true...

take this as you will- i am not sure if this is true or not yet since i havent tried it but...
from what i have heard about crystal chronical- you can have people use controlers and there is a trick to do it for multi
from what i heard you choose the # of players from the menu screen, then you plug one gba into slot one- create you character, then unplug the gba, move it to slot 2, do the same, and so on- at the end, plug regular controlers into the slots and press a on all of them to finish the creation process and enter the game
the only problem is the fact that the gba screen shows you all of your magic and hp status- so you are going to either compensate taking out magic in the game for regular controlers, or know how to use magic properly on a regular controler
as i have said- take this as you will- i dont know if it is true or not
