lovely graphics, great music. beat it in 30 hours, taking my time... not good! if you have 4 friends who want to play this and have gameboys then you are lucky cause I could never get more than me and 1 friend together.

Does not seem like a real FF game

As an avid FF player since I was 9 and got the original Final Fantasy for NES, up to X-2 now I must say this seemed like the most 1 off version. Putting the crappy MMORPG of FF XI, and the legend series on Gameboy, this one rates just above them, down on the bottom of the list of final fantasy titles. I played this a few times at a friends house and was disappointed with the story and gameplay mostly, the charachters seemed like they were for little kids. The Final Fantasy series was always meant to be 1 player, a real pain in the butt difficulty wise, consume a lot of your time, and have such a great story that you get drawn into the game and feel as though you are the main charachter. This game was just way to easy, but I will give Square credit for trying something new, but as they learned with Tactics and the horrible FFXI they should just stick to what they know best, and with FFXII on the way for PS2 they are going back to that tradition.

okay...

im a big final fantasy fan i have this game ff7,ff9,and ff10 but i can say one thing NO TURNED BASED BATTLE SYSTEM!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! i love final fantsy games but i hate the turned based battle system! and this game is a final fantasy game without a turned base battle system! but there are a few bad things about this game,there is a poison fog in the game called miasma and is fatal to all the people in the world and since its fatal to anyone and you need to carry a little pale with a crystal in it but if you carry it how are you going to hack and slash? so you can't just go in any level all by your self either you have someone carry it(multiplayer mode)or you have your moogle carry it(singleplayer mode). and when this came out they said you can create your own character and that just drove me crazy! i love to create my own character! but it turns out you don't really create he/she you just choose from a small variety of hes/shes and thats where i got dissapointed,you can't actually CREATE your character like tony hawk underground. and you can't just invite a few friends over to play it you need to have friends that have a gameboy advance/link cable.

The Magical Bucket! What is Square thinking?

My first thoughts when I heard Square-enix was making a FF game for Cube? I thought awesome!! More Final Fantasy! Then I started seeing some pictures. "Wow Nintendo was succesful in Nintendofying another great game" (kids saving the world, are you kidding me!) But I still said that I would give the game a chance. Next I find out that the battle system will be in real time!!! That is not Final Fantasy. So now I say this. What is going on in Square's head? Why don't they just chop off the Final Fantasy name and make the game Crystal Chronicles.
This still may be a decent game but in respect to Final Fantasy it will be an abysmal game

This is a great game for the Gamecube, and it's not too hard

I have never played a FF game in my life, and never intended to. What caught my eye about this game is that it's made for Gamecube(best system), and that the characters are all kids.(so I knew it wouldn't be too difficult, and I'm usually fearful of trying to play games with all these characters on screen at the same time.) The graphics are awsome,and I love how I can play single player with just one player, and not have 3 others that I have to watch out for 'cause that's just STUPID! I love how fun it is, and it reminds me of the Zelda series. If you like Wind Waker, then you will also like this game. Don't let this one slide!

say it with me ... awesome

This game rocks i'm telling you if you have a game cube there are 3 games you must have super smash bros. melle, pokemon colleseum ( ...) , and ff crystal chronichles. even though the camera sucks and if you or pet isn't carrying a bucket you lose life and you have to carry it wich really sucks when your fighting a boss but overall this game is awesome.

BEAUTIFULE GAME!!!!!!!!!

i really liked this game because it is fun and adictive and it draws you in with its great story line and beautiful graphics. i would recomend this game to be played with 2 or more people because although the one player is fun it is much much much more fun with two or more people playing. there is one thing that i don't like about it and it is that you have to use the gameboy-game cube link cable to play multiplayer, but other than that it is a great game and a must buy for final fantasy fans!

An Excellent Game

Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles, where to start? I found out about this game when I bought Mario Kart:Double Dash, on the Bonus Demo disc. It looked pretty cool, but I knew there was still a few months until it was released. A good friend of mine got this game, but he hesitated. He's a big fan of anime, and one of his favorite mangas is Berserk. The Berserk box set cost 50 bucks and FFCC was also 50 bucks. My friend hesitantly bought this game. He started playing it and it was AWESOME. We all pitched in for gameboy advance connection cables, and hooked them all in. You can play 4-PLAYER! As for the gameplay, you can choose from 4 different races, Selkies, Clavats, Yukes, and Lilties. These names may sound fruity, but deal with it. You can pick male or female, and each class has 8 different "styles" that you can customize your character. For example I have a male Selkie, and the style is "Racoon Tail". His hair are all ragged and blonde. He looks pretty cool. For this game to be fun, you have to play with AT LEAST one other person. Make sure you have some GBA's and have your friends pitch in for some link cables to the game cube. This game kicks (...)!

THIS GAME TOTALLY SUCKS!!!

This game sucks!!!! When I played it, I thought it was going to be good, like the other awesome final fantasy games. Turns out that the fighting style was pathetic and the graphics couldn't even come close to the later final fantasy games. Some advice to the world: do not buy this game!!!!

Not Your Average Final Fantasy Game....

As alot of other reviewers have posted, this is NOT like other Final Fantasy games, it is quite different. This is not your in depth storyline game, it is mainly about a village (any name you make) that has what they call the Cyrstal Chronicle filled wit myrrth. The crystal that protects the town and it's inhabitants from pollution called miasma, which if a person wanders out of the crystals range, will die very slowely but however, the myrrth only lasts 2 years. The town will select you as their new Caravan, which are travelers for myrrth that are hailed throught the land. You have your own personallized chalice filled with the liquidized myrrth that your trusty Moogle carries it around for you, making travels easy on the limbs. Your character (again, any name you make) needs to journey through the land to collect myrrth. Myrrth is what powers the crystals to keep the towns folks safe and sound, but myrrth is not easy to get, just like any Final Fantasy game there are monsters that need to be defeated. There is a world map that needs to be traveled, just like any traditional Final Fantasy game, but it is a little different, there are at least 2-4 different dungeons that need to be completed, and each dungeon contains a different kind of myrrth that you can change your chalice to and at the end of the map there is a Miasma stream, and you need to swith your chalice's myrrth to match the Miasma stream, good examples of that are fire, wind, air, and earth. Now lets go on to the battle system. Do any of you remember the old Nintendo 64 game Quest 64? Well you can compair this game to that, the battle system is fairly similar. You can tap the A button for the normal attack, or hold it down and bring the cursor over an enemy to do a powerstrike, you can also go to your command list to fill your empty slots with fruit, meat, or magic spells to heal yourself or to inflict damage on an enemy, troggle through with the L and R button to select what you want, then just simply hold the A button then bringing your cursor over you to heal yourself with Cure, or over the enemy and then release it over the enemy, to use a magic spell. You can even combine eliments to create whole new magic spells. This is a great adventure RPG that should not be taken too seriousily, but however, some hardcore Final Fantasy fans may be dissapointed, don't come here if you're looking to play another Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, or 10.
