I recently sent a letter to nintendo regarding the gba requirements for ffcc. Needless to say I don't think it'll change thier mind, but i'm just so "seriously miffed" about the whole idea that I had to send them a letter. I even considered starting a grass roots e-mail to nintendo. I would have also sent it to square but have been unable to find the offical site. If anyone has seen it please post and let me know. Here is a copy of my letter and nintendo's response:
Greetings Nintendo,
I am a avid fan of the your company and all it's
innovative products. I have been eagerly awaiting the
latest installment of the final fantasy series coming
to the gamecube. After reading reviews and news from
the recent E3 conference I was very concerned over the
multiplayer aspects of ff crystal chronicles. More
specifically, the requirement of a gameboy advanced
for multiplayer gaming.
I believe the review stated that the game requires
players to use the gameboy advanced to access the
multiplayer game. This requirement is a very expensive
and limiting constraint that may affect my choice to
purchase the game. I enjoy playing multiplayer games
on my gamecube, however I do not currently own a
gameboy advanced.
While I understand that this feature is intended to
"enhance" the game, I feel that this also seriously
limits gameplay as a major aspect of the game will not
be accessible without a gameboy advanced. Essentially,
this would not "enhance" the gameplay as it does for
other games such as Splinter Cell and Zelda.
In some ways, I (and a number of my friends who own
gamecubes) feel this limitation on gameplay would be a
further departure from our "gaming demographic." We
are working professionals (and lifelong gamers) who do
not have a need for a gameboy advanced, as we do not
have time for gaming while away from home. I hope this
is not a trend that will further limit future titles
available for multiplayer games. I have had a number
of friends recently sell their gamecubes, looking to
competing companies for their large selection of
third-party games. To an avid and outspoken Nintendo
enthusiast this is very disappointing.
I am writing this letter in the hopes that you will
seriously reconsider the system requirements for this
particular title. With the limited number of
multiplayer role-playing games available for the
gamecube, I have been eagerly awaiting this title for
sometime. It would be very disappointing to have
another title that I may not be able to play.
I have found that Nintendo tends to be a very
thoughtful company with innovative products and ideas.
I feel that my thoughts reflect a number of
individuals and hope that my letter is seriously
considered.
Response:
Thank you for your e-mail. We appreciate your feedback regarding the
multi-player capabilities of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I am
going to forward you comments along to the appropriate departments here
at Nintendo for further review.
