Just ignore it.
I'll PM you or something if it gets decent US reviews.

How could you say that based on a few hours of gameplay?lorddarkflare said:So can we y'all quickly pronounce this game crap so i can remove it of my to-do list.

lorddarkflare said:Just being my normal self, i expect this to be a pretty decent game, no matter what the sales and famitsu say.
I am sure some were expecting the second coming...
Fimbulvetr said:I wasn't.
But I sure as hell expected a fun game.
Still some hype left, waitin' til it hits the states to decide.
cosmicblizzard said:At this point, I'm just hoping the story, characters, and world are enjoyable. Considering the main character is Layle, I'm not worried.
Quadrangulum said:I hope the game isn't as bad as it sounds. Either way, sales numbers like that probably mean the end of the Crystal Chronicles franchise but it'd be a shame to end the brand with an unambitious turd nugget.

Bebpo said:I like how everyone is saying it sounds bad, yet I'm saying it's fun and well paced and looks great :lol
It's just not much of an rpg so far...so what? I actually thought I wouldn't like it going in because I'm not a fan of the artstyle particularly, but I really enjoyed the first 2 hours and I couldn't put it down. The only reason I stopped playing was because I had to! The game so far is a slightly casual fun experience. I mean wtf, Modern Warfare 2 is about as casual mainstream FPS as you can get that is totally linear and great looking and everyone is happy! They go for the same appeal with FFCC and it's a horrible horrible thing

Fimbulvetr said:The problem is that your complaints about the camera and everything else sounded really....unflattering.
Like seriously, reread your post. You make them sound like game killer issues. :lol

TunaLover said:And sales are relevant to gameplay mechanics. Do you play with profits or something?
Fimbulvetr said:I'm sorry, I forgot, is this a Crystal Chronicles game?
Bebpo brought MW2 to compare linear easy to pick up gameplay, he never mentioned nothing about sales. You bring it up, it was pointless.7Th said:I wasn't the one that brought the comparison to this discussion, Bebpo did.
Money shots right there.Bebpo said:Some random pics:
oh god, is the story really with the same quality as the FFX-2 one? :|Bebpo said:It's kind of like FFX-2 except without the battle system/stats/dungeons and just the story/action/mini-games.
kiryogi said:I don't think it's a bad thing. My quick thought for now, I'm having super fun with the game. For probably before work later today or after. So fricken late, but man I love the game. But I don't like to think of it as minigames or anything. It seems like one big fun adventure to me.

TunaLover said:I´m cofused, Famitsu report in its review that they would wish a more detailed map because you easily get lost, it doesn´t happen in most linear games O__o
What? I thought this was made by SE not UbiBebpo said:I like it, but it's a linear mini-game collection in the FF world with great cutscene direction, excellent graphics about on FFXII level give or take advantages/disadvantages and pretty bad controls and camera that could make the game frustrating at a later point. But early on the game is easy enough that the bad camera/controls don't make you lose. The battle system isn't very good either thanks to the camera, but the non-battle stuff is pretty fun.
That probably sounds negative, but if you just go in looking to have a good time it's a lot of fun and looks nice. Just has basic problems that could make the game not so fun later on.
Then again I liked Code Age Commanders, so I enjoy this team's games despite their flaws.
So it's really an action-adventure/Zelda clone, and not an rpg. If you had to compare, would you say it's as good as Zelda or Beyond Good and Evil?Bebpo said:The first 2-3 hours is running down a straight path with cutscenes, mini-games and battles along the way. On the plus side this means the pacing is really good and fast paced. Since there is no xp or levels, there's no grinding (I can see some later on if you want drops to make accessories); this means go, go, go pace like an action game; not "I'm at a dungeon and the game just STOPS for an hour" rpg pace. Same with towns. Since you can't talk to NPCs, getting to a town means you're in & out really quick. No lingering around like normal rpgs talking to everyone and shopping (there's a tiny bit of shopping, but not much so far).
shahkur said:Guys, what is the actual battle sytem like if you had to compare it to any other game. Do you get new moves? New weapons? And do the bosses have actual attack patterns? Do the missions vary a lot?
Bizzyb said:You pick shit up and hurt it at people/things
yeah... :/
Bebpo said:Played a few more hours. A few battles, a few new mini-games, a decent amount of backtracking across the zelda-ish overworld (boo; would have preferred warps or point n' click map to avoid this). I'm guessing the 15 hour marks are exaggerated and it's probably 20ish. Then again who knows.
Game is pretty funny and silly. People who take games too seriously will hate it, but so far it's the best game in the FF:CC series imo. It's kind of like FFX-2 except without the battle system/stats/dungeons and just the story/action/mini-games.

Just wait for more impressions. I'm waiting since the game releases the day after Christmas. You got time to think about it and watch some videos before deciding.Fimbulvetr said:Who the hell do I believe?
He is right though, oversimplification or not.Fimbulvetr said:Oh look, gross oversimplification. Weren't you one of the "Oh noes grandmas! D:" people?
Kandinsky said:He is right though, oversimplification or not.
People just jump on the tiniest comments and blow it all the hell out of proportion, positive or negative. Heck, even Bebpo is confused at the negativity his relatively innocuous comment was getting. Just the way things are.faridmon said:i don't know what is the problem here. All the impressions are pointing to the direction of '' I will love the game with its not-so-big flaws''
and I will buy a Wii with this game. A black Wii since I live in Europe
Hell yeah.
