All the (Final) Fantasy One Could Want in One Day

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pick-and-choose dept.

Daetrin writes "The Magic Box is reporting that Square Enix will be releasing both Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy X-2 in America on the same day. Perhaps they figure any Americans who can afford both a PS2 and a GameCube should also be able to afford putting down the cash for both games at the same time? Usually competing against yourself isn't the best business plan." Square Insider also confirms this. I'm a huge Final Fantasy nut, and I have both a GameCube and a PS2, but I'm sure I don't have the time to play both games simultaneously, and I bet there's a lot of people who fall into this same category.

  2. Crystal Chronicles for me by egomaniac · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have both a PS2 and a GameCube, and for me there is no contest. Crystal Chronicles is realtime, multiplayer, and the art style is absolutely fantastic. The whole dynamic of virtually requiring constant verbal communication between players should be a refreshing change of pace from most multiplayer titles.

    If you have a significant other who plays games, a GameCube, and two GBAs, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up when it comes out.

    The first link to Square Insider should be non-hyphenated. The article link was correct, however.
