This is going to be the Wii's best game by a wide margin.
Listening to some of that music, watching some of those vids... I kind of think you might be right.

Galaxy is the shit, but this is... I wanna say fresh... but it feels odd when talking about Final Fantasy. So instead I'll say fun.

This looks really fun.

I'm totally on board with it. I probably won't get it on the 26th, but I definitely plan on getting it sometime soon after. This will be my belated Christmas gift.

There is no way this game is going to be better than Super Mario Galaxy (although making such a comparison feels idiotic, considering i doubt you could have two more different games heh)

But, it is factually going to be better than FFXIII. That is factually a fact from a factland!

Have you gotten around to playing NyxQuest yet?

yeah it's pretty good, much better than Lost Winds. More challenging and more clever platforming challenges.

Have not finished it yet but that's only because I get distracted easily with my massive backlog.

It's not idiotic to me!

It'll still be up there as one of the top 5 Wii games.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I got around to listening to those track samples and watching the TGS footage. I'm really impressed.

A part of me knows there will probably be numerous 'typical' rough elements of the game. I expect the framerate to be unstable like it has been in pretty much all videos. I expect there to be a learning curve on the controls. I expect the graphics to be a mixed bag of some great stuff, some great art, and some really very bland and flat looking moments.

But that aside, the whole thing seems so fresh that I can’t help but be intrigued. It's like the SE are finally throwing out genre clichés, expected design decisions, and typical art directions and instead just doing whatever the fuck they feel like. It really looks like it’s the most comparatively original project to come out of the studio in a long time.

It doesn’t look like a standard sequel, or look to play like a predictable genre. I gotta give SE props for that.

Who's the music composer? Doesn't seem to be the Kumi Tanioka style, but I guess she'll still contribute some tracks?

Edit.. ahh forgot about Hidenori Iwasaki

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.

Hidenori Iwasaki and Ryo Yamazaki, the Front Mission 4 composers.

FFXIII looks like a step backwards from FFXII in every aspect outside of graphics. Meanwhile The Crystal Bearers is something NEW and FRESH and FULL OF ENERGY!

I reckon at the end of this gen when GAF pick five games that define Wii, we're going to select Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Super Mario Galaxy, Monster Hunter 3 and this game.

PAL gamers will swop out one of the others for Disaster: Day of Crisis, but The Crystal Bearers will undoubtedly remain!

Clairvoyancy! What are music and movies like in the future?

They all suck, J-pop takes over on the music side.

Horror and romanticomedies go from taking up 70% of movie releases to 90%.


Fine, "I hope" you little rat. :lol

What's up with all of the FF13 comments??? The FF13 thread and this one are more than enough for us to seperate the two. In alot of ways, I wouldn't even compare the two together. Different focuses, different demographics, different battle dynamics, hell different composers :lol

It's the only thing they can do until charlequin's fatalistic but ultimately accurate predictions become a reality. It's quite sad, really. ;_;

Simple. One has Tetsuya Nomura in it and one doesn't. The one without the Nomura is clearly superior. :lol

(For the record, I haven't bought The World Ends With You simply because of all the belts, buckles, zippers and stupid Nomura-esq logic they stuffed it with.)

He's right, though. I'm more excited about this than for FFXIII, even if it doesn't show in my post count.

You should. TWEwY is the Nomura game for the Nomura hater.

Judging from the resort video, you're not too far off from the mark. :lol

The hate FFXIII gets in this thread is cute:lol

The hate you give CB is cute: "OMG stop being not exactly the same as the first Crystal Chronicles game!"

I don't understand the FFXIII hate either though, I'm excited for both.

And 7Th, how bout you contribute something to this thread other than:"OMG this haz minigaemz? worst FF ever lololololol"

I already voiced my complaints with the core system and we agreed that further discussion was useless until they decided to show more game-play videos. :/

Yet you keep coming here to say irrelevant shit.

Kenka said:
This game is completely fucked up. Irrational. FF XIII is going to be like this as well ?

Take your square hate to gamefaqs. :lol

Also the word "Irrational" is not a sentence.

This thread is plenty irrelevant without me; more than half of it is just pointless circle jerking. Maybe if you guys were talking about the possibilities of the gravity mechanic or what kind of clever puzzles could they create with it things would be different, but as it stands... are my comments really that different from the other comments in this thread?

Definitely was for me. It's such a good game.

Also, people complaining about mini-games in an FF game? Someone clearly hasn't played the last six main storyline games! :lol :lol

I wrote a large post about the combat.

Come on, discuss it. I can wait.

ethelred had complaints, but he voiced them in a way that didn't involve repeating the same thing even after being proven wrong.

This is no hate, I pretty love what I am seeing. It's just that everything looks completely "off the hook" or whatever expression in english that may be suitable :lol

I don't know what to expect in the battle sales. Will this narrowly go past the million bar ? Sell half of what FF XIII will manage ?

Very well, I'll let you live for now.


....God, I really am too invested into this game.:lol
