Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time

[codemonkey85]

So like, we totally need to get people playing this game. Maybe we could setup weekly questing sessions? Or just get together and play the story mode?

I need people to play with, is what I'm trying to say you guys.

[HottSushiz]

I would love to play this game with others, but unfortunately i don't have any Wi-Fi that's compatible with my DS, although what's with the story, about it can use the ability to connect to the Wii, do you use it as a controller, or do you play along side?

[BarkingFrog]

... about it can use the ability to connect to the Wii, do you use it as a controller, or do you play along side?

connecting to wii is just same as you connect to other DS, play multiplayer..

Final Fantasy 7 crisis core was one of the best portable game i played

[drobb]

well if i ever get done or tired of playing platinum i may play this. i dont know if it will hold my attention tho. the last one i played for all of maybe 5 mins, probably not even that. and i didnt much play on the gamecube either.

[Mr.Fuji]

I agree on some sort of weekly get together for gladiator/smash-o-rama/waterpolo tourneys or something, this game is really fun and i already played with you once before codemonkey, we just need more pplz.

Also, we should take note where people live so that we can play with the best connection possible.

[drobb]

now see, something like what mr fuji said may actually get me interested to play this. that COULD be fun. i used to have allnighter on the DC with pso doing the same sorta thing. speakin of pso, cant wait for ps0 to get a stateside release, i didnt much like trying to play the japanese one.

I have to admit, I didn't think I'd like the PvP very much until I smashed someone with a Meteor spell for a one hit kill. That was pretty sweet.

[Enkidu]

I've actually only heard good things about this game though.

You no longer have to carry around that stupid bottle of Mir like in the old game, theres more to and whatever else. The just of it was that its very similar to the gamecube one, with the annoying parts taken out.

[Torte de Lini]

I've played it for a bit, but had no idea what I was doing.

I need people to play with too, since the AI is so amazingly stupid, my eyes bled with tears and remorse.

In any case, I don't understand the jewels or little gems at the bottom-screen. Can everyone cast magic? I downloaded the game, so I didn't have an instruction manual.

[codemonkey85]

Everyone can (and often needs to) cast magic, but some characters are better suited for it than others. Generally Yukes are the race to pick for mage characters.

The best part, however, is the ability to combine spells. If, for example, two people cast Fire on the same spot (or enemy target), it will produce a Fira spell. Three Fires yields Firaga, four yields Firaja (at which point the range and power are rather large).

There's a pretty good FAQ a-brewin' at this site.

[Torte de Lini]

Wow, that's pretty cool!

I'll have to get back into it. It's just bothersome to play silently with 4 other random people

[Destati]

I just started playing it. Feels a lot like Zelda.

[DeadPool]

I need to still buy this pair of games, I have the rest of the FF series. I saw them at VGE today but opted instead to buy some blu-rays instead (Batman Anthology and Spider-man Trilogy got em 20-30 buck cheaper than anywhere else )

[codemonkey85]

Just get the DS version. Don't bother with the Wii counterpart.

[Destati]

codemonkey, would you like to play with this newbie? my aim is on my profile now

[Mr.Fuji]

Anyone here playing in Very Hard1?

[codemonkey85]

I would love to, but unfortunately I will not be able to until about 10 PM EST. If that still works for you, feel free to PM me or whatever.

Either way add me to your FC list, and I'll do the same.

[Destati]

I will not be able to until about 10 PM EST

Neither can I! hyuk hyuk hyuk. Well, more like 10:15 or something but same difference.

I don't know my FC. I don't even think I set it up. I also think I should set up my private router again, even though technically I'm not supposed to. Screw you college dorm!

[Destati]

actually, don't expect me to be available for another 2 hours : /. Japanese homework is SERIOUS BUSINESS

@codemonkey

I'm a FF completionist (as much as is physically possible) so I have to have a complete set, no matter how horrible they may ultimately be. I'm only missing FF4 (pre-ordered it but never picked it up and keep putting it off) and then these two new games. I excluded the S/NES games and then the GB games that weren't actually part of the series, but I have the rest.

[codemonkey85]

It is something of a curiosity to me that you would be a Final Fantasy completionist, and exclude what are arguably the games with the biggest legacy (and in my opinion, the best ones). Maybe in the case of FFV you could argue that the GBA remake is sufficient if not better, but if nothing else, the GBA cannot possibly do FFVI's music justice. And the PSX version suffers too much slowdown for my preference.

Either way, let me know what your opinion on the Wii version of FFCC EoT ends up being. And go and pick up FFIV DS already.

[wraith89]

My brother has this game... but I don't know how it is like. Can anyone tell me how the gameplay is like and if it is worth playing?

[Destati]

wraith, the instant I started playing it I thought "wow, its just like Wind Waker, except I can jump"
