Forums - Nintendo - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time announced (Wii/DS) #1

Millennium on 01 October 2008

I find myself somewhat insulted by this idea that they're developing cross-platform Wii/DS games on a single engine now.

But Square-Enix doesn't name things for no reason. If there's a Pollux engine, then there's some other project called Castor somewhere in that company. I'm more curious about that project: what is it for? What does it do?



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Crossplatform play? I think that's pretty cool, I don't know what everyone else is bitching about.

So, the game can be played by the largest user base of each category, together... and is a bad thing?? :S

Well, for one side looks like SE wants more money, for the other side this looks like another way to gain more money :), maybe the final product is not that bad.

Basically this is a DS game that will run either on the DS or the Wii. Now it's cool that it can be played either on Wii or DS, but the fact that it is a DS port, is very very sad. Also no news on FFCC:CB.

Since the announcement of FFCC:CB, $E has released 2 FFCC games and now announced 2 more, it all points in the direction that Crystal Bearers was only Vaporware, $E is now making ports of DS games for the Wii.

So will this help finance FF13/Versus 13?

Same here. Looking forward to it, looks like they're "fixing" Ring of Fates.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

It doesn't look so bad...

Ok.. the only reason this annoys me is because I'm aware that SE only assigns one team to develop on the Nintendo platforms as far as Crystal Chronicles go, the team is small enough that developing a DS game does hinder development on their Wii game, I'm not sure if it was enough of a hinderance for them to stop development of the Wii game all together until Rings of Fate was complete (Great game btw). If these two games are coming out so soon, it probably means that they haven't been working on The Crystal Bearers, which I was hoping would be a Christmas 08 release.

Oh well, this is a Jan huh... last January No More Heroes was released... could be something to look forward too... those Mii's could of used some kind of artistic upgrade transition into an FF theme.
