Topic: Final Fantasy

[Smashman]

Well, I am not a particular fan of the regular Final Fantasy series, Crystal Chronicles looks great. A definite buy!

[akdaman1]

Anyone?

[Mario]

I could, if they didn't ban me with absolutely no reasoning what-so-ever. GAF has terrible mods, it's just disgusting. Meh.

Also wouldn't playing without the GBA be a little pointless, unless there's a way to... have 4 screens that only each individual player can see, without having GBA's, i think using controllers would defeat the purpose of the game. Oh well, doesnt concern me, i have enough GBAs for everyone!

Including me?

Anyway..is there anyone else who can help me? I have a SP but i want to play with my bro...maybe if I steal one off Mario...hmmm...nah he is cool.

[akdaman1]

Well i have to cancel my order on 1080 and get another gba...SIGH

[ThePerm]

birdo did someone say birdo? Birdo is a transvestite(not the forumer if there is one...or are they?)

[Bill Aurion]

Birdo is only a transvestite in Super Mario 2!

She has since been female since her reappearance in Super Mario RPG...

I haven't read all of it, but there are a lot of complaints about the need of four GBA's and four cables, and the majority want that it can also play with four GC controllers. Let me tell you, that will never work. Square Enix didn't do it to screw you guys, the game needs it to actually work. If you want to play FF:CC with four GC controllers and you want to change equipment, you would have to pause the game to go to the menu. That ISN'T practical, people. The GBA linkup solves this problem. This was already explained by Gabe from PA, but I guess not a lot of people visit PA when I read this topic. YOU NEED GBA'S OR ELSE THE GAME WOULD NOT WORK PRACTICALLY. Sure the sales won't reach millions and I doubt if there ever will be a FF game for a Nintendo console, but you have to admit that its a unique gameplay experience, one that shouldn't be missed out.

Thanks CHEN

CHEN: With proper menu design you can also put those menus on the TV screen without pausing or obscuring the view too much. However, the GBA also delivers "secret" information, like a map or enemy stats. Those are displayed to only one player each, enforcing communication.

Not that i take X-play seriously, but they had a weird preview of FF:CC in which they stated its just like Gauntlet and were kind of trashing it.  They were intimating that Square made this game just to get on the GBA, which i believe, but made it sound like FF:CC is an afterthought.  In the end, they said it was fun though.  It made no sense.  But if it is like a Gauntlent style game, then thats far different from Secret of Mana.

[Crono]

does any 1 know if this game sold well in japan? or do you have the numbers because im just curious cause this is probably the next game i'll get after mario kart

thanks

[rpglover]

i heard it sold decent in japan- not the normal numbered final fantasy #'s but respectable nonetheless
i dont know the exact total but i would suspect it to be around 300-500 k (dont quote me) respectable but the numbers were not that high

[soracloudtidus]

Well I'm always waiting for some new ideas to come out and this one might seem bizzare but you guys will see that it will turn out well (Zelda anyone?). We have to be open minded gamers and try new stuff cause else it will be the same old same old ideas that have been inserted in different games. Aren't we tired of that? I know it is hard to get 4 players with gbas to play with you, or is it? I mean I 've found friends that have controllers so we can play 4 player multiplayer mayhem for Mario Kart and most of this people have gbas too.  The only thing that we have to buy is (besides the game) is the cable link but thats ok for me. Lately everyone whines and whines how about this game  is gonna be crap,that game didn't sell well,blah blah blah. People if we support good games with original ideas then Square and Nintendo will notice, the industry will notice.
And then Square will make another GC game or will start working for the next gen system. Support this game comon it's Final Fantasy back on Nintendo and with a new twist and don't tell me you don't have friends with gbas that like FF. Last time I check the gbas where selling millions of units and that doesnt seem to be stopping any time now.I will buy myself a gba sp on bday (sunday!!!) plus the link cable and mario and luigi super star saga..but thats another topic for another forum.

[Grey Ninja]

sora, you have the right idea.  You really do.  But I seriously think that you have too much respect for your fellow gamer.  The days of old are gone.  One of the main reasons the SNES holds such a fond place in my heart is that when it was around, the gamers played the games that were good, and the bad games just sucked and nobody played them.  All that is lost now.

[Bill Aurion]

So true...I used to hold a lot of respect for fellow gamers until the start of the Playstation generation...Everything's gone downhill from there...

But it's still nice to have hope though... ^_^

Hmmm maybe not all is lost my friend. You and I know what separates good games from mediocre games. We are tired of the same stuff being throw at us. It is true there are a lot of ignorant people out there but think of this, If I at least teach one of these ignorant people out there the difference between the same old crap and new stuff then I am saving $50 or more of hard earned cash on a game that doesnt deserv it and put it down on one that does. I have done it, convincing people of buying cubes, viewtiful joe games( I still dont have it ) , mario kart and the likes. I am a big N mark I will be honest and one of the reasons I love my cube and Nintendo so much is for their quality and originality when it comes to making games. Of course not everything they do is right but that's ok with me. We ( u and I and everyone that cares!!) must start teaching people what good gaming is about. I have save some people of buying bad stuff at  every eb, or gamestop that I visit isn't it time that everyone starts caring before we are taking over by more and more game clones formulas?Is it really hard for game devolopers to come out with new ideas? I think FF:CC is gonna be great and everyone should support it. IF the game is crap ( which I doubt) I'll be the first one to put my foot on my mouth and wonder where have all the good games gone?

[akdaman1]

Amen to dat.

But the gba thing is a major gimmik. The game sold 320-240k .

I would hope so, since it's appearance in M&L is clearly feminine.  If it was still a transvestite, that would make the scene scary.

I was wondering though about that scene, because I always thought that birdo was umm... confused to be politically incorrect, originally being a man, now a woman.  Not a transvestite anymore, now a transexual.
