Level 5 plus FFCC: The Little Prince and the Promised Land

"1) I don't quite understand the notion that because it's different it must be bad. You praise the original (as mediocre as it was) for having less in common with the mainline FF's yet Crystal Bearers, which looks to be in leagues of its own is getting bashed because it's not a rehash of original, mediocre game? I don't quite see how Nitnendo fans are getting shorted if they're making a better game by not just arbitrarily using features that would have benefitted the original Crystal Chronicles - if Crystal Bearers was a retread of that game to begin with."

I never said if it is different it is bad. I am just disappointed. Did you not read where I said if they are going to change the series this much, they should cut ties and name the series differently? What I mean is, FF:CC has something I like and expect, and they promised to fulfill those expectations. They have not. This leaves me disappointed, angry, and not willing to spend my money. Multi player as an additional option is NEVER a bad thing. The first game could be played just fine with one player so as I see it, they are taking away features that do not NEED to be taken away. You see, if you thought the game was average, that is your opinion and I accept it. I, on thee other hand, was praising the first game and saying to myself, "man this would have been a lot better without GBA connectivity."

At any rate, this new game for WiiWare could be what I am looking for. I do not just want a single player game. I enjoy playing with my family and maybe this game will allow for that. I hope it does, but should it not, I will not buy it.

2) Splitting the original FFCC into two separate ideas benefits the series already as seen by Ring of Fates. I had no problem with the storyline of the original but you have to be kidding yourself to think that the single player had "focus" - part of the reason the battle system was so shallow was because they wanted the multiplayer to make up for it (which it didn't). Spell mixing is the only way to do a lot of damage which is barely possible in single player with just the moogle by your side. The character class/races are mostly aesthetic, beyond a few arbitrary changes like Yukes being better with magic or Selkies being faster than Clavats (are they really?)"

Are you serious? My brother does not own a DS. Neither does my daughter or girlfriend. Talk about inconvenient and non-beneficial. Plus it is expensive. This eliminates NONE of the big problems from the first CC game. I really need to say nothing else since I would only be repeating myself into oblivion from this point forward. It is my opinion that making a multi player RPG for Wii would be awesome. Anyone that would disagree is somehow naive or ignorant. And to top that off, SquareEnix made the promises that they were the company, and this was the series to make it happen. Please do not respond to my rambling.
