Yay, finally a ff game for the GCN. I've been waiting a long time. But wait a minute, whats that you say. A bucket! You carry around a bucket the whole game and you have to stay in the buckets magical ring or you lose health. Oh, did i mention its not even turn-based. In other words this is gauntlet with the name final fantasy tattooed on it. Don't get me wrong, I love Gauntlet, but when i want a FF game, i want a final fantasy game.
This is all speculation, who knows the game might still be cool(praying with all my heart). Also, to play multiplayer you need four gba's and four link cables. That is fantastically gay.
Give us a real GCN FF game please Square, or maybe kingdom hearts(yeah right).

The Final Fantasy series is well known for their RPG (Role Playing Game) fantasy games with unusual characters and settings. The series has set standards for many RPG elements, and has even inspired a feature-length movie. The next chapter in the series is now for the Nintendo Gamecube with Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

The uniqueness behind this game is the multiplayer aspect. This is the first time up to four people will be able to sit down at the same consol and participate in a real time Final Fantasy adventure. You can play alone with a GCN controller, or your GBA (a GCN~GBA cord is required). Though, to play with more than one person, each player is REQUIRED to have their own GBA (and cord). Yes, it is REQUIRED for multiplay, but it's not a bad thing.

You see, the game is played out in real time, not turn based as most RPGs are, so using their GBA, a player can access their map and menu without stopping play. The television shows the characters and enemies while the GBA will show maps and items. The characters being your choice, and choosing to use the same character oftenly will make him/her stronger. When making a character, players get the choice of gender, one of four races, and one of four classes.

I would recommend this product for anyone who enjoys team battles, RPGs, or fantasy games of any sort. I doubt anyone could be disappointed with this game.

Simply put, WOW. What I mean is WOW, this is a TERRIBLE game. The battle system in this game is like nothing I've ever seen before, it's comlete trash. And the story, that just does it. Well actually, there isn't really a story. The whole game (or at least what I've played of it, which isn't too much, because the game never got better) is just about a group of little kids collecting special material called myrrh from myrrh trees and bringing them back to their town so they don't die. I thought there might be some twists in the plot as the game progressed but noooo. There has been nothing more. If you consider that fun and amusing, I question your sanity. The badness (if that is a word) of this game is too much to take. If I could, I would give this game 0 stars, but unfortunatley that is not an option. I wonder what the creators of this game were thinking when they were making it. I really never thought there could be a bad final fantasy game until I played this. It is unlike any final fantasy game out there, it's bad. It should be disowned from the final fantasy series. If you want classic and good final fantasy action, get a PS2 (I regret not getting one myself, and now I am stuck with this childish Gamecube). Oh, and just to sum things up a bit, DON'T BUY THIS GAME. If you are looking for a good Gamecube RPG, Tales of Symphonia is where it's at! :)
