All the (Final) Fantasy One Could Want in One Day
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.
If I had a ps2 to go along with my GCN, I would also NOT be buying Final Fantasy X-2. Final Fantasy X was a horrible game...probably the worst in the Final Fantasy series (if you don't count Mystic Quest). The story was piss-poor, the game was too easy...in fact, the entire game seemed to be graphics driven instead of story-line driven. Notice how Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII, the two *best* FF games, are more about in-depth story then graphics. Anyway, I will probably be getting Crystal Chronicles. It looks interesting, and isn't the sequel to a shitty game.
