er, are most posts still going on the quality of the youtube video? is there any higher quality version?

personally, I think it looks good. not great, but good. I think this is one of those "proof in the pudding" games, where the trailers and screenshots will keep sending conflicting sensations, but the ultimate game may yet bear out what people hope for.

 

[Cipherr]

Looked terrible, sorry. Although I guess my opinion wont gain any traction since Ive hated every FF CC. But it looked bad, the colors looked washed out as hell, and the little pencil thin white outline that seems to be put around things when you Wiimote over them gives the game a real "cheap" look.

Absolutely ghastly.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

This looks like a very beautiful Wii game. From what I can tell with that trailer.

I really like the concept, and it looks a lot prettier then the vast majority of Wii titles.

I don't know. I liked mainline FFs about ten to fifteen years ago, but these days, I can't stand them. Sure, I prefer badass characters to emos, but that's only part of the story. The funny thing is that I considered, say, Cloud and Squall to be badass back in the day, even though they actually aren't. I don't really think it's badass vs. emo, it's what you consider to be badass - and that might change over the years. And all I see in mainline FFs these days is pretentiousness - and that includes the games I actually liked back in the day. To be truly badass, you must not take yourself too serious, and there needs to be a certain level of humor. Two things tCB seems to do right - contrary to FFXIII. Oh well, maybe I'm wrong, and I'm also drunk, so...

I feel the exact same way.

There's a few things that need to be fixed IMO:

1.The game is too colorful. They should replace all of the blues, greens and yellows with various shades of gray and brown.

2. The main character looks like a sissy. They should remove his hair entirely and maybe slap some spikey armor on his body or something.

3. His method of attack sucks. His weapon should be a little bit cooler, like a gunblade or something. In fact, instead of a gun/sword hybrid he should have a gun/gun hybrid. That's right, a gun with another gun in it so he can shoot while he's shooting.

great post.:lol

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

what the??? i somehow missed this thread

anyway, it's looking good - only thing though, the combat looks kind of cumbersome, like an old school beat 'em up where the enemies just haphazardly clump together

good to see a legit S-E effort for wii. finally.

It should also have the number thirteen attached to the title, roman numeral style.

Damn. beated by Vol.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

You mean like Ranger?

(shitty webcomic)

MY EYES HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED BY UGLY SPRITES AND WALLS OF TEXT

 

[Formless]

Nah he should have a bomb inside a bomb. That way he can explode things while he explodes things.

 

[Teknoman]

Main character seems like an alchemist.

Personally, for number 3, I would have gone with a gun that shoots guns.

8.8 :lol

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Taking the concept of the gunblade to the next level, I have the first look at the main character's weapon in Crystal Bearers:

 

[Black-Wind]

you can see it in the trailer, nearby the kid with eyeglasses

Oh, now I see!

 

[Teknoman]

There you go.

I wanted to provide a clean version.

That would be a perfect FFCC bail out gif. Anyone willing to add bail out in standard FF font somewhere in that?

all the races look well not what im use too from a FFCC game

They arent SD so its like Ivalice's transition to "realistically" proportioned characters.


Speaking of Echoes of time...how was it? Oh and does the online co-op have mic support? JP version has been out for awhile now right?

 

[Volcynika]

Grandjedi posted one like shortly after that, I think.

Yup. Checked a few pages back and there it was.

If by a while, you mean two days or something, then yes. It has been out for a while.

Holy shit. I need to start reading 8Bit again.

 

[Teknoman]

Oh :lol seriously? I just thought since its scheduled for a March release in NA, it had been out in Japan for a decent amount of time.

That's... interesting. I'll follow this one, but I'm not completely sold until I know how it works.

I actually liked the trailer overall, but this part I have to agree with. I hope they figure out a better way of letting players know which enemy they're targeting.

 

[D-Pad]

Yay trailer! Looks pretty sweet.

...

When can we expect to play the game, SE? Release date? Release date? SquareEnix? Release date? Release date? ...

 

[PBalfredo]

Wow. This was a pleasant surprise. Crystal Bearers is alive and looking good. This just shot up my wanted list. This is a game made from the ground up for the Wii, you can tell, and it looks awesome for it. Physics gameplay should fit the Wii like a glove and this is the best looking 3D Wii game I've seen since Brawl. Square always could get the most out of whatever system they work on, especially in terms of quality textures. And that rival Yuke looks very cool. Not often you get either a thin lanky antagonist or a female playing up the Darth Vader style mysterious masked menace look. Plus her portal creating power seems like a worth match for our hero's TK. Should be a formidable opponent.

 

[Black-Wind]

IGN has a clean version up now (^_^)

I really like this vid . . .the mucis is shit and I have no idea wth they would choose that (or the white outline thing . . . CHANGE IT!) but I like what I see!

After watching the trailer of FFXIII and seeing that its not turn based, its pseudo action based made me add it to the list of buys with this one. Never bought a mainline too, I only liked this series cause its action based, but I will be buying two FF's in the future.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

So, these crystal bearers, can throw shit around, like the force?

I like the graphics. Looks good.

FFXIII is turn based, though.

I just realized. He reminds me of Luke Smith... if he were a giant talking potato.

[ivysaur12]

It's kind of cool that the air-ship design is so similar to the very first Crystal Bearers trailer we ever got.

 

[bdouble]

Looks good.

Yeah after watching that I'd say its right up there with SMG and MH3.

 

[IceIpor]

I dunno, but it sounded to me like the Engrish equivalent of "Bearer"...

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree that they haven't mentioned his name in the trailer at all.

It seems to me that they were just referring to him as "Bearer".

 

[jrricky]

FFXIII is turn based, though.

huh?

 

[Aeana]

FFXIII is turn based, though.

ATB isn't turn-based.

 

[Prax]

What I like:
- main character's personality (right now, I am trying to figure out what character of my own to shoehorn him as)
- possibility to be a jerk and throw townspeople around. >.>

What I don't like:
- main character's hair lol
- that it's not multiplayer, though I suppose that's what Echoes of Time can be for

Interesting stuff:
- I kept thinking it had a Legend of Zelda vibe to it... It's probably because main character looked like Link, that giant Lilty/Goron thing, and that Galka/badguy/Ganon thing, and it's action-adeventureness.
- I was trying to figure out what race the girl that hides behind him was. I decided she's a Selkie/Clavat mix like Chime.
- I was trying to figure out what race glasses ferret-girl is. I decided she was a Lilty/Clavat mix. xD
