We always feel compelled to remind everyone about this game, especially since it's tucked away the day after Christmas. So here it is. Once again, that's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers.

I didn't know much about the type of gameplay or feel this game would have and I'm not a fan of what I just saw. I'm going to assume that it's an open world action game and thats typically a bad formula for SE.

Dude I'm sure Dead Space Extraction will be bargain bin in a month. That game sold 9,000 copies so no need to hurry up ... bump it to the bottom.

I was trying to say that too until the comment system had an epic failure.

Tales of Symphonia 2 is not worth it, rent it if you must.

Two things:
1. Why can't Movie-Announcer Guy retire already? Anytime I see a trailer or preview start with that godforsaken voice it makes it very hard for me to take seriously.
2. I really wish that Square-Enix would have had the good sense to choose a shorter title. What happens when they do a spin-off from this? "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers: The Final Chronicle"? Dear god...
Also, I should point out that I AM very excited for this game, despite my inherent cynicism.

Well in that case, I wish the entertainment industry would just abstain from using Movie-Announcer Guy-esque voices. Hell, they could say they're doing it out of respect for the original, I don't care. I just can't take it seriously anymore. Am I alone on this one?

Don LaFontaine (Movie-Announcer Guy) is already dead. So much for forcing him to retire huh? And even if he is alive he couldn't care less about what you think, not when producers are bending over for his voice at the rate of 30,000 dollars per minute.

Nope, you're not alone, the rest of us just don't give a sh!t who's voicing trailers and feel the need to force said talent or style to retire.

Ok, I love the crystal chronicles games, but this one is odd. FF:CC was a differnet style of FF, and it continued that way for a while. Now this one seems to be the bastard child of the modern final fantasy games and with the crystal chronicles characters/story.

I liked it a lot as well... sadly, no one wished to play with me. :(
You can't really go on playing a great multiplayer game alone without feeling sadness. :(

Whoa, nice graphics. Usually I don't see that as a major selling point, but they're very nice for a Wii game.

Actually ESC. A boy and his Blob is a retail Wii game:

And if you haven't played Tales of Syphonia on the GC, you're missing out on what i believe is the greatest RPG of all time.

Final Fantasy was developed during Square's brush with bankruptcy in 1987, and in a display of gallows humor, director Hironobu Sakaguchi declared that his "final" game would be a "fantasy" role-playing game; hence the title.

Somehow I managed to have 3 nearby friends who each owned a GBA, the adapter cable and had a whole lot of free time when it came out; and yes, with the right equipment FFCC was an incredibly fun game. I must've played through the whole thing a good 2-3 times.

So buying this, but I still do prefer Layle's Japanese voice to his English one.

The graphics are quite shocking, I was interested then until I saw them.
FFXII however much I didn't like the game had ALOT better graphics than this and that was how many years ago?
Disappointing..
Another case of laziness by people developing for the Wii...

Please please please have a Japanese language option, if the dubs in this trailer are anything to go by.
Also, this seems to have a very tenuous hold on the first Chrystal Chronicles. o.-
