I need this game in my life. My friend and I played the hell out of Crystal Chronicles and my wife never got to play it with us. I hope this game lives up to that legacy; I've never played the subsequent ones as I heard they weren't as good.
Monster Hunter seems to have a very specific direction and vibe, for lack of better descriptive terms, and Crystal Chronicles had its own distinct feel that I really enjoyed.
With real online support it'd finally be a viable experience too, Crystal Chronicles on Gamecube was fun, but it was near impossible to get four people together with their GBAs to play it the way it was intended.
I was thinking the same thing. Would love to have some sort of Crystal Chronicles action together with peeps online. Hunts and quests would be a lot more fun with people considering how hard it is to play MH on a handheld by yourself without help. So I'm hoping that this FF doesn't have a wild control scheme and it's easy to connect to people.
