Im answering your question, because FF: CB was the only exclusive Final fantasy game for the Wii, even its a spin off. So everyone actually yelling if they've seen the first FF:CB trailer at E3 2006.I can show you the video if you want to. Its like MOH: H2 even it only have average review of 7.7 Wii gamers eat that game up because its the first FPS that tacked on with FPS controls. |
The only thing the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series shares with the Final Fantasy Franchise is the name, and some things like moogles. Otherwise it focuses on extremely different battle systems which are much more action orriented even compared to Final Fantasy games that are in real time, more puzzlelike themes, more dungeon focused, stories target different audiences and use different cliched(I would say crystal chronicles has much less cliches), crystal chronicles up until now was always multiplayer focused, there are countless other details. I wouldn't really classify it as a spinoff in the same sense I don't classify Final Fantasy Tactis, or Mana(research it, if you don't believe it originated from final fantasy) as spinoffs. They seem to be seperate series that square enix used the Final Fantasy name for them to sell more. Think of it this way. Final fantasy is a franchise. From that franchise there is a main series(which has the highest budget, and best team members working on it) then there are several other series that have lower budgets varying on the series. Then there are true spinoffs of the main series like crisis core, and even movie spinoffs which could actually have higher budgets than the other series. Then you even have spinoffs of the other series. So yeah it is complicated, but I don't think the classifications spinoff and main series only work to well. Especially considering there are different types.
