For some reason I read the title as Family Fantasy Explorers.

I think that was a Dutch magazine in the '70s.

 

[Grampasso]

It has some Chrystal Chronicles vibes.

And that is good

 

[Tom_Cody]

You have my attention.

 

[Goli]

Lord of Arcana/Apocalypse weren't a thing?

They were but nobody cared about those!

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Aside from TR and TR:CC this is the 1st 3DS Final Fantasy right?

 

[SougoXIII]

They were but nobody cared about those!

I-I do....

 

[Famassu]

So, possibly a Monster Hunter clone?

Or Seiken Densetsu. Or Crystal Chronicles. MonHun isn't the first of all coop action (RP)Gs.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

If I can play SP, I'm in.

 

[zeromcd73]

Aside from TR and TR:CC this is the 1st 3DS Final Fantasy right?

Unless you count BD than yes.

 

[Nirolak]

Aside from TR and TR:CC this is the 1st 3DS Final Fantasy right?

Yes. Bravely Default got rebranded at some point in development, and Chocobo Racing got canceled.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I-I do....

Me too. Big Lord of Vermilion fan here.

------------

Anyway if we fight Eidolons, give me GILGAMESH.

 

[atbigelow]

Yup, will buy. Love the chibi FF style and I had a blast with Echoes of Time on DS.

 

[ryushe]

So, possibly a Monster Hunter clone?

If any series could do it, it's FF.

 

[Tsunamo]

Loving the artstyle.

If it's anything like Crystal Chronicles or a Monster Hunter type game sign me up.

 

[Delstius]

Well, I'm interested with this one.

 

[KtSlime]

Sounds neat, look forward to further details.

 

[Red Mage]

Please have Red Mages...!

I can play this single player... right?

Besides that it looks amazing. Day 1 (if it has single player).

Yep. I'm down with it, if I can play on my own.

 

[dramatis]

Why does the white mage have cat ears.

 

[Clefargle]

I think that was a Dutch magazine in the '70s.

Jesus, lol...you win

 

[MagiusNecros]

Why does the white mage have cat ears.

Devout?

Edit: That isn't BM and WM. Devout and Magus designs actually

 

[Ryuukan]

Will trade both theatrhythm kusoge for this here

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Spiritual Crystal Chronicles Sequel?
SPIRITUAL CRYSTAL CHRONICLES SEQUEL?

Don't tease me bro.

 

[Maintenance]

Please don't let this be today's announcement at the Treehouse.

Please.

 

[dramatis]

Devout?

Edit: That isn't BM and WM. Devout and Magus designs actually

The kanji says White Mage and Black Mage.

Doesn't mean the cat ears are any less annoying.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

I hope this IS the treehouse game. This is instantly a must have if the general premise is as described.

 

[Deadpool_X]

" multiplayer action rpg"

Not exactly my cup of tea. But hey, less heartache if they fuck up the localization.

I assume the "if" in that sentence is meant to signify that odds are, we aren't ever getting this game. SE is stupid with not giving us what we want. I mean, Type 0 just finally got announced over here, and we are still waiting on DQ VII. If those can't get localized, what makes you think some brand-new spin off will make it over here?

 

[MagiusNecros]

The kanji says White Mage and Black Mage.

It must be using Devout/Magus designs for the Job class. Possibly implying that Magus/Devout aren't job classes to choose from in this game. Very interesting I'll say.

-------------

Another thing. I'm reminded of Cross Treasures for the DS.

 

[Taruranto]

Now that I think about it, this sounds like the kind of game SE would try to squeeze P2W and DLC shit in...

You know, DLC Jobs and whatnot...

Why does the white mage have cat ears.

 

[WolvenOne]

Looks like it might be promising.

Hopefully it'll be A: Good, and B: Be localized into North America and Europe.

 

[Goli]

Well, it wouldn't make much sense for them to include two jobs that can basically do the same thing, unless there's some sort of job change/upgrade system, so it's probably that.

 

[Nirolak]

duckroll noted to me that the text says the game is about taking down Final Fantasy summon monsters, so it does sound a lot like Monster Hunter in terms of how you would do that within the framework of FF.

 

[duckroll]

Or Seiken Densetsu. Or Crystal Chronicles. MonHun isn't the first of all coop action (RP)Gs.

This isn't just a co-op action rpg though. This is specifically a co-op action rpg where players get together and use different job classes to fight summon monsters (read: big). Definitely MH inspired and a different direction from before.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Now that I think about it, this sounds like the kind of game SE would try to squeeze P2W and DLC shit in...

You know, DLC Jobs and whatnot...

I'd pay for a GILGAMESH job class. I would. Really. Honestly.

 

[Santiako]

So it is a MoHun clone. Cool, it could do better than MH in NA/EU.

 

[Goli]

Yeah, the word for summon monsters is repeated a lot in the page, the summary at the OP should probably be changed since "take on monsters on a quest to gather crystals" is a bit misleading when the focus is clearly on much bigger ones. At the top of the page it even says "high scale battle RPG announcement!!", and Ifrit is introduced as the first of the eidolons you can fight.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

That sounds like a pretty exciting concept.
I look forward to screens/trailer.

I already changed the title.

Can I still play with myself if I so want to?

 

[Santiako]

Also, isn't that a scan?

 

[Magicpaint]

Yeah this definitely sounds a lot more like MH than CC so far.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I guess we found out tonight's big game reveal then.

 

[duckroll]

Can I still play with myself if I so want to?

Almost certainly. You can play Monster Hunter yourself if you want to too.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I guess we found out tonight's big game reveal then.

I highly doubt they will be talking about FF MH for 90 minutes.

 

[jj984jj]

The screen reminds me of Ragnarok Odyssey. So many MH clones, though I suppose this might be a big one for 3DS.

 

[Haeralis The BRave]

UGH! I was hoping that the final announcement was a Final Fantasy XII HD so bad...

 

[Neo Child]

The Crystal Chronicles on DS we're really good fun multiplayer - really decent hack n slash.

The Wii one was awful.

The GameCube one was pretty fun multiplayer with at least 3 people and had a really lovely style and cute intro.

 

[sixteen-bit]

So it is a MoHun clone. Cool, it could do better than MH in NA/EU.

Yeh FF has that name recognition/credibility

 

[Ourobolus]

Hm...hopeful. I never got a chance to really play Crystal Chronicles, but this looks neat.

Actually, on that note - what's the best game to try in that series if I want to get a taste? I vaguely remember the original needing a GBA in addition to the GCN (which turned me off a bit).

 

[Shizuka]

Do we get to fight Gilgamesh?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

DREAMS COME TRUE!

I need this!
