Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Rated

Posted by simoniker on from the mario-meets-moogles dept.

Thanks to Planet GameCube for their report on how the newly released Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is faring in the Japanese press. This GameCube action RPG, which came out on August 7th in Japan, but is now delayed until February 2004 State-side, scored 32/40 and a Gold Award in the often strict Famitsu Weekly, and a Famitsu reviewer commented: "The one player mode feels a bit lonely as the gameplay tends to become routine. However, the game becomes more interesting in the multiplayer mode, where players can execute combination magic and work together to beat the boss. The fun factor is doubled." There's more info via hands-on impressions at IGN Cube, who seem to like the single-player campaign somewhat better.

    So...when are they going to let us play that "Decapitate the Chocobo" minigame we were promised?

    "The one player mode feels a bit lonely as the gameplay tends to become routine?"

    Isn't that the definition of a Final Fantasy game?
