The Official FF: Crystal Chronicles Thread

[A Black Falcon]

The version playable here at E3 strictly demonstrates the four-player gameplay that the title has to offer and does not allow single-players to hit the quest alone, though Square states that both adventures will be essentially the same. Kiosks are set up with four GBA SP systems connected, allowing up to four people to join the action at any time. One thing in particular must be cleared up: players are not required to use a GBA system to play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles in its current form. In the private hands-on playtest that we experienced, only three GBA SP systems were available, thus a Nintendo representative was forced to plug in a standard GCN controller to join the party. The previously mentioned Japanese interview had caused quite a stir among Nintendo fans during the past week in regards to whether four GBA systems were required for multiplayer action, but we can confirm that this is not the case in the version we played. Whether or not this will change for its final release remains to be determined, but we consider it unlikely.

Great news.

As for inventory management... still one of the best I've ever seen on consoles is Gauntlet Legends. The C buttons are perfect for that kind of thing...
