Oh well, looks like this game will bomb. That score is terrible for a FF game, even if it's a spin-off.

No wonder, it's not SE's best effort and it's a fairly short game I've heard. I wonder if SE will give the Wii a top tier game before DQX. I don't think so.

isnt it like 15 hours? thats not so short right?

I guess it depends what you were expecting. For an RPG I expect longer, but for an action/adventure game which I've heard this game is more like than an RPG it would be really good.

Most action-adventure's I've played last longer than "good-amazing" RPGs, when you talk exclusively main story. So I think it is more in-line with a RPG. Tere is tons of extra content though, so I doubt it would actually be 15hrs.

idk if this was posted yet but here is what famitsu said

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176761

From that link:

"The story, woven by a cast of colorful characters, is extremely fascinating," one reviewer wrote. "The way the story develops, along with the unique characters and world setting, is brilliant. There are lots of little details to everything."

On the other hand, according to Famitsu, The Crystal Bearers has a fair amount of annoying niggles. "The telekinesis setup is fun -- you get to perform a lot of actions in the playable events, but I wish people gave more of a response to getting moved around," one writer said.

"The levels are well-made and full of gimmicks," wrote another, "but the map doesn't give you much info, making it hard to figure out where you are at times. It's hard to get a grip on your surroundings, and the game feels a bit like a long fetch quest, But the playable events and wide variety of minigames ensure that players never get bored."

As is typical, the words sound much more positive than the numbers look. The complaints sound like quibbles to me.

Sounds good.

I find it odd that Famitsu gave it only 30/40 when these comments don't sound all that negative at all.
