I'm supprised but happy with the cross save and cross play function, will get it on PS4 and switch. At least this time I won't need 4 gba's and 4 cables.

Wow! This is above and beyond. I wasn’t even expecting the announcement of basic online play, let alone all of this.

I loved this game, but I also understood that that was a fairly unique position, and this a fairly forgotten game, outside of the DS sequels, which saw much more success. I’m shocked, and excited to see the game getting this much love from Square Enix.

I bought the original sometime back in 2008 (one of the very few GC games that i have) and i remember playing this solo for a few hours and quite liking the concept but it was obviously ahead of its time back when it first came out since it desparetely needed an online mode. I will definitely get the remaster!

As someone who played this alot back in the day with the full setup - awesome, shame someone has to carry the miasma though still i guess?

The DS games were awesome - definately more fully realized Gauntlet/Diablo-style games than the GC one.

True, but thematically, they never recaptured the magic of the GC one. The gorgeous music and for-the-time visuals, the storybook narration to each level, and the feel of the world itself, amongst other things, made this game feel special to me in a way the others never did.

Great news
I hope for a physical edition.

 

[KàIRóS]

Play across different platforms with the cross-play function.

Holy sh-! this was genuinely one of the hardest games to play with four players due to all the hardware needed and now it has online cross play!? I'm hyped as f--

 

[Mista]

I never played this one. Might give it a try this time

 

[Thabass]

I love all of this, but I do wish there was a PC release. Regardless, this is a Switch game for me and I can't wait for it.

 

[Zog]

Is this a game you can solo?

 

[zeorhymer]

Is this a game you can solo?

If I remember correctly....it's rather difficult. Been so long since I played on the GameCube.

 

[off duty ninja]

So does this mean I can play this at home on ps4 and then pick it up on my iPhone when out and about? That kind of thing would be pretty awesome!

 

[VectorVictor]

If I remember correctly....it's rather difficult. Been so long since I played on the GameCube.

It was difficult, but part of that was because the AI was for s**t.

Playing online with this will be great, but here's hoping the single player AI is improved.

Who asked for this

 

[yet_another_alt]

Can it do a combination of couch co-op and multiplayer?

 

[Reon]

iOS and Android makes me very wary of this re-release.

 

[D.Final]

Really beautiful

 

[semiconscious]

Can it do a combination of couch co-op and multiplayer?

there's been no mention of couch co-op. which's pretty weird, considering that couch co-op was the only form of co-op in the original, & the main reason people loved the game so much...

[Orenji Neko]

I remember picking this up on its Japanese release since I happened to be in Japan at the time on business. Got a loader disc or whatever to play on my US GameCube once I got home.

Pretty decent or ok game for the most part. As mentioned, the AI was stupid so I got those GBA cables for my kids to play with me (would have preferred just plugging in additional GameCube controllers that we already had sitting right there though).

 

[Vawn]

I could care less about cross-play, but I hope we get more PS4-Switch cross-save.

How is the class system as far as depth and abilities? Do you need a party of certain classes to suceed in late game?

 

[sublimit]

I absolutely love his work.
