Ummm... from what I read, they're focusing on a single-player experience (rightfully so, the last game couldn't be played enjoyably without another person), not cutting the multiplayer mode out entirely. I mean, didn't they announce this game will go online for multiplayer already? Like, when they first announced it?Amir0x said:

ok, i wanna clear a few things up.Amir0x said:
the speculation:
CB wont have multiplayer because they're focusing on the single player aspect.
this game is not an RPG
this game is not "epic"
the facts:
Squeenix has neither confirmed nor denied that multiplayer is out of CB. they have only stated their direction with the title.
RoF is without online, possibly due to lack of decent voice communication or lag issues, however, local network play is still a major aspect.
the statement saying that CB would be online has still not been revoked.
how i see it, there will be co-op play in the Wii version via WiFi. however, there will be more focus on the single player aspect of the game. also, expect the battle system to work much like FFCC on the gamecube, so action RPG style. also, i think that a kid flying through the air and great airship battles are pretty epic, wouldn't u think so?

Is it that bad? Is everyone that indifferent to it?
"TI: Ahhhhh, I see. In terms of the hair [Laughs], what we discussed before in how I want to portray the hero, I wanted more of a world-weary weather-beaten image, my image was not to design a hero with curly hair, but to make it appear a little disheveled because it's supposed to be a little messy so that it appears that he's been through a lot of stuff and wanted to convey a rugged look for the hero. I want to write an exhilarating tale of this great hero set against sweeping blue skies, who has in his past gone around adventuring, so that's what I had in mind."
Holy smokes, that's Japan's idea of "rugged?"
Anyways, I'm really hoping that they do have Wi-Fi multiplayer in this game; otherwise it's hype minus one million.

It got pretty mediocre reviews the first time around. If GameRankings was working at the moment I'd link to that.jaundicejuice said:

Well, Im intrigued about FFCCWii.
Im a fan of the original one, partly because of the combined spell casting and great boss battles. I wonder whether it retains any of those aspects. I also hope it remains fresh in its simplicity like the GC version, probably with the heroe just going to diferent regions of the world in serch for the power of the crystals, without overly complicating the story. Oh, and hopefully the music is as good as the first version as well, though for the looks of it i doubt it will retain the celtic feel (this design doesnt seem to fit it).
Im interested, want to know more, and yeah, technically this does seem to look very pleasing (if different than what i had in mind).

God when the hell is this trailer getting online?

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
So, there is the final verdict on online play for FFCCROF.
The answer? NO. Youll prolly just trade the items you make.
http://wii.ign.com/articles/789/789057p1.html
A lot more there. Probably enough to split into FFCCROF and FFCCCB questions and make a new Crystal Chronicles thread ::shrug:: just dont feel like doing it myself.
Its the same roundtable as the 1up one, but its got some new questions in it.
One could prolly compare both articles and get all the answers out of it ::shrug::

I imagine they could. Hell, Animal Crossing has it where friends can play with you. Dragon Quest IX will be the same way.

duckroll and BSY-sen already cleared that up, they must've misinterpreted "wireless co-op" as online play. Though it's pretty dumb of them since in December they said there will no online because there'd be way too much server usage. This game looks leaps better than MKDS or MPH, so it's probably hard enough to implement it as it is.Eteric Rice said:

That pic from FF:CC Wii is giving me a Last Exile vibe (that's a good thing.)

He definately has a Superman vibe. Even has a sort of spit curl.

I think he looks fine, though he could stand to be a bit taller. Graphically he looks really good, too.

Seriously though where the **** is this trailer? Are you telling me that in the land of ****ing ninjas not a single person got some quick off-screen footage? Or hell, why the **** hasn't Square itself put it out there? I'm pissed now.

new robot action game from D3's simple DS series will be released at July 26
it is a Assault Suits Valken / Cybernator clone
don't anticipate too much since it is just one of the simple DS series
but after I see the screens, I really wish Square to make Front Mission gunhazard 2 on DS or PSP

maybe i will buy, i already want the Drift Rally from Simple DS Series...

Nice. Is this a remake or completely new?
Seeing this game made me hope for Konami to make Metal Warriors 2.
