Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition has a release date:

Fuck you I wanted this shot more than anything

New features in the Remastered Edition include:

Online multiplayer for up to four players.
Play across different platforms with the cross-play function.
Transfer save data across platforms with the cross-progressive function (via).
Added challenging new post-game dungeons and bosses.
Added new variant character skins for each tribe.
Added new items to equip.
Newly recorded theme songs “Kaze no Ne” and “Hoshizukiyo” by Yae.
Newly recorded narration.
Newly recorded character voices.

>Play across different platforms with the cross-play function

So PS4-Switch crossplay or is it just going to be Smartphone-PS4/Switch?

Why is it called a remaster when everything is identical to the original? Why do the Japanese have the need to lie to the faces of every consumer?

>Nintendo Switch™、PlayStation®4、iOS、Android
Jesus, how will they have to dumb it down in order to have it playable on mobile?

>still have to carry the shitty in coop

Its between all of them

No way the game can remain the same if it's on mobile.

I still wouldn't call it a remaster. If they could make you pay for the cables and gameboy screens, they would.

I like video games, I buy them when they're on GOG.
But I don't like consoles or epic, I think they're a cancer for the industry and the consumers.
So I don't buy when it's on those platforms. I just pirate.

Deal with it, consumerist cuck.

I wonder how taxing it will be on Android. Will my median market china spy device be able to run it without esploding its battery in my pocket? Probably not.

This better support 4 link cables via the switch gc adapter

I don't, personally. While I understand that it might be frustrating to literal 30 year old manchildren who played each and every one of these games when they were released, but I didn't own every console and therefore I missed tons of great games that are now getting remastered and it's always a good chance to play a better version of those great oldies.

Fuck remaster haters.

>but I didn't own every console and therefore I missed tons of great games
Just emulate them then, like we all did.

>just emulate a game that literally requires 4 GBAs and a special cable for each one to play.
Most games are emulatable, but A.) Gamecube games have a huge list of issues in emulation, more common than most emulators for whatever reason. B.) this particular GC game is incredibly wonky due to the extra strangeness of the multiplayer peripherals.

Emulating is never perfect, despite what PC-ucks would have you believe. For example, I finished Xenoblade 1 on Dolphin, something that is considered to be pretty much perfectly playable by the community, but my experience was that it still had plenty of stuff that took you out of the experience that are considered minor inconveniences (like stuttering here and there, occasional crashes, some rare glitches), but still enough to remind you that something is not quite the real thing. Sometimes they are close enough, but if I had a choice between a real release and emulation, I'll always go for the real thing.

iOS means iPhones. OSX is the Mac OS

Does it at the very least have LAN play, or do you actually have to connect to a remote server and back?

Take a wild guess, faggot. Here's a hint you should consider: do the switch have LAN ports?

WLAN is a thing. It's still LAN. And other games on the Switch does have LAN options.

>No local coop
>But cross platform online
God damn Square I was just asking one thing holy shit. It wasn't so hard. I bet the game's gonna be like 40 bucks or more.

Maybe I'll just buy it for Switch and PS4 and make a pretend couch co-op.

Is it even confirmed coming to the west?

FIFTY BUCKS HOLY SHIT
YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME?

Yes.

Yeah. Forget about physical though.

Remaster looks pretty great. Shame about the local co-op.

I don't give a fuck about local co-op since none of my friends are into degenerate shit like video games or nintendos.

Sorry man

They had to pay all the voices all over again, that's retarded.

So, how's this game without co-op?

It's meh, the kupo carries the chalice but the gameplay is not that fun.

>Have to use shitty android emulator to play
Sigh
Why don't they just release a PC version, as people will be able to play on PC anyway

>Have to use shitty android emulator to play
Or the pretty nice Switch emulator.

Oh god I hope not.

No, mobile can pretty much handle gamecube graphics that aren't ran through an emulator. You should see how shit like star ocean looks at max settings.

Huh? I thought Yuzu can only run Mario Odyssey

Remaster when?

Attached: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - My Life as a King (1).jpg (1920x1080, 354K)

I'm very curious about the Kawazu directed Crystal Bearers.

I'd agree if most of these remasters were being made by main dev teams.
They've become testing grounds for third party devs and B teams though, so in most cases it's not really cutting into devtime on actual new games.
Besides, FFCC is one of the games that unarguably needed one.
Adding online multiplayer so you can avoid the four game boys + link cables bullshit almost justifies the game's existence on its own.

I’ve never played this game. Is it actually any good? And how does the split screen thing work, since the remaster is only going to have one screen instead of 4 individual screens and 1 shared

>split screen
It split the screen by making you attach four more screens for each player.
They apparently couldn't figure out a way to get around that though, so couch co-op on one console is probably out.

to be clear however, in the original the extra screens weren't gameplay screens, but inventory and skills.

They got rid from splitscreen altogether.

>And how does the split screen thing work
It won't, so you'll have to buy the games several times if you want to play with friends.

I worded that poorly, my mistake. I meant “how will they handle going from having 5 screens to just 1” but according to there was really no reason for the gba screens. It wasn’t something like four swords adventure where the gameplay swapped between the tv and gba at times

though the main focus of the extra screens was almost certainly to sell more product, there WAS a reason, and a decent one. It was so you didn't need to pause the game for all the players to do inventory management or equip things or spec new magicite. Without these screens you would need to pause the game for everyone.

If anything Crystal Chronicles is a game that actually needs it because of the stupid way multiplayer was handled in the original version

A remaster is just a port to new consoles retard, if you don’t want remasters than hard to emulate games will forever be unavailable to play for many people

Why are such a fag? Stop caring about minimal things and enjoy the game FFS.

>inventory management or equip things or spec new magicite
Imagine having to do that on mobile.

Oh that makes sense, otherwise you end up with shit like seiken densetsu 3. But now with the magic of online play, that extra screen requirement is moot. Cool. The only link cable multiplayer game I’ve played is four swords adventures which would require some reworking if they wanted to make a modern version, so I just wasn’t sure how much had to be reworked for this

Never would have expected them to go through the trouble of getting crossplay

I assume that you'll just open a menu on your own screen while the game remains unpaused. So this will indeed create a previously un-needed concern of having to put yourself somewhere safe while you manage your inventory as I assume you'll go immobile while you do so. In most games this would be easy, but in FFCC you take damage outside of the protective radius of the crystal chalice, so your dickhead friends can easily leave you behind while they move the chalice during your inventory work.

>. I meant “how will they handle going from having 5 screens to just 1”
Every character now has their specific screen.

>I'd agree if most of these remasters were being made by main dev teams.
>They've become testing grounds for third party devs and B teams though, so in most cases it's not really cutting into devtime on actual new games.
This. Remasters are not happening at the expense of new games. They are made on top of them, there is literally nothing wrong with them. There are only benefits and 0 downside.

>stop having standards!
Seeing as you don't have any yourself, I'm sorry, but this is probably something you will never understand.

They also lead to tranlations and brand recognition. See Romancing SaGa 3 or Moon RPG.

holy shit, what the fuck did they do to the main theme. It sounds terrible now

I think they took the same woman but she's 20 years older now.

So how does progression even work for multiplayer? Does the host continue the story but the other players only get experience?

You are a console player what the fuck are you on about?

Yes, P-C uck who plays console games in cheap and buggy emulated state and pretend like there are no issues because hey at least you can play it, did you say anything?

Fucking poorfag

Says the P-C uck who can't afford real hardware and would rather steal the games to boot.

this. It feels off.
yeah that's what I thought.
I don't understand WHY would they do that.

holy shit, both of you fuck off

wait it has online coop?
how does it work? does it find players for you, or do you have to invite people to your game? cause having to manually look and invite people always suck, specially if none of your friends are interested in x coop game.

No info on that yet.

If you hate consoles so much, what the fuck are you doing in this thread in the first place? This isn't even coming to PC.
Rethorical question btw, everbody knows that the real answer is to shit the thread up, like all PC fags do.

Maybe a lobby, or some kind of drop into a random player searching for a party.

Yes it is.

Case in point.

Like fuck. I've wanted this to happen for over a decade. Now all I need is a remaster of the Harvest Moon games for GameBoy and I'd never ask for anything ever again.
>Crystal Chronicles is almost 20 years old
There was maybe two instances where I was able to organize friends and family to do 4 player co-op, but it was some of the best fun I ever had and one of my absolute favorite memories from high school. Generation 3 Malboro is a fucking nightmare when you have to be concerned about others.

experience?
You dont level up, you just pick up the artifacts from the end of a level.
If you dont participate you don't get an artifact

I hope so

>>rerecording of narration
BUT WHY?

The new Morning Sky already sounds like shit, I'm getting worried now. Fucking square enix, just make the bloody thing playable on modern systems and don't change or add anything, the game was literally perfection already.

>If you hate consoles so much
I dont ,Its just that PC is better lmao,I still buy consoles despite having a high end pc,this just makes me more aware of the situation.

>each race
Species. If they were races, inter-group reproduction would be possible, but nothing indicates so.

So you're just shitposting, thank for at least admitting that much.

we’re getting that gba harvest moon remake, or do you mean og gameboy

Sounds like the same woman, but the song just has now flow to it. The original lyrics and style had such a smooth feel to it, with this one she pauses constantly during the notes and accentuates a lot of the lyrics in a way that feels kind of jarring.

WHY WOULD THEY TOUCH THE THEME SONG FFS. Praying that there is the option to use the originals.

Yeah I know the game doesn't have traditional experience, just forgot the name of the statues you get at the end of each level. Which is why I'm wondering how that will work now. Do you just join someone's game, help them with a level, and then get kicked back into your own game with the new artifact? Will I even be able to completely my own story progression while joining other people's game?

Not even that, they're called Tribes. You are aware that there is a half-Lilty half-Clavat princess in this game, right? And there's a half-Clavat half-Selkie as one of the main characters in the WiiWare "My Life as" games.

Why are you so angry about this damn dude

OG GameBoy, what else? I refuse to acknowledge the existence of FoMT game on Switch because it's a remake of a remake (or de-make depending on your views). Alas it's the game a new generation to the series played as their very first so it is what it is.

Back to Crystal Chronicles, when they say no local and it's online multiplayer only, that mean I couldn't say grab my Switch, take it to my friend's place and play the game without needing a Wi-Fi connection?

Attached: GameBoy Harvest Moon.png (257x778, 547K)

>no half Yukes
Racists

Seems that way. The fact that the game supports cross-platform online/saves probably means everything is stored on a server

You'd need two Switches (or a Switch and a PS4) with multiple copies of the game AND wi-fi. They're TRYING to still make it uncomfortable.

I'd assume that's how it works because that's how it worked in the original. You could transfer characters between saves using two memory cards, allowing you to take a character from your own game and play as a "Guest" in someone else's. Although you couldn't take any items with you beyond what you had equipped, you also got to keep any Artifacts (the "experience" you mentioned) that you pick up. I would think the prevalence of this kind of multiplayer would require a rework on that end.

I wasn't aware that the game had the ability to transfer from one memory card to the other like Phantasy Star did on the Gamecube

Yes I'm boring like that, but I've always loved Clavat girl.

My bro used to main a Liltie, I wonder if he'll use the same too.

Attached: 3D-White_Warrior_F.jpg (240x240, 13K)

I hope this means they'll rerelease the other crystal chronicles in the future, never got to play them.
I also hope this remaster doesn't turn out like that shitty ff8 remaster.

Attached: 1567780513224m.jpg (1024x545, 60K)

The FF8 was censored too, I can't wait to see what they can find to censor in FFCC.

It looks really good from the trailers.

Good luck getting the multiplayer to work through the emulators to work lol

I wonder if Kawazu is involved in the remaster? He's the producer in a lot of CC games.

what do you guys think of the ds crystal chronicles? I really liked them

Considering the FF8 remaster is just an emulator, I would hope there's more care for this game.

Echoes of Time is one of my favorite games, but I never got the chance to play Rings of Fate.

Slightly disappointed in that. It makes sense if a Switch owner wanted to play with his friend on PS4 or hell even iOS, but you'd think they'd give the former a local option since it doesn't need to be bound to a wall or necessarily need Wi-Fi to play with someone else who also owns the system. In the end I guess it doesn't matter though, the overall goal is being achieved either way.

>they'd give the former a local option since it doesn't need to be bound to a wall
I guess you could play both with portable with a wi-fi connection. There's no need for a "main" screen. It fucking sucks, though.

I'll wait for the pc version and it's free online.

They're just trying to emulate how hard it was to set up the multiplayer in the original. They've remastered the experience right down to the technical difficulties.

ring of fates is inferior in every way

i hope not, but it wouldnt surprise me if they did, specially now with the recordings it could have something censored or changed dialog, something that wasn't considered ""offensive"" back then and now is.
I hope the big titty chick doesn't get the tifa ethics department treatment.

it really does, fingers crossed it stays that way.

EoT was much better

but the other CC games are crap. Well, not crap, but nowhere near as good as the original.

>2020
bitch

Ah well, at least I'll be able to get the 4 player experience I never got when I played the game when it came out.

The thing I'd "like" is to retire, so i keep "buying" a roth ira

I just can't fucking believe you'd just not put local co-op. How hard can it be for them to put gba-tier screen on the side of the screen while maintaining the continuous action. There's like three times the resolution now.

Remember that only mainline games get shit deals in the remaster sections. Even one of the worst remasters in that regard, Last Remnant, is vastly superior to FF8R or any of the SNES remasters for PC. Only FFXII gets off the hook, for some reason.

>it's another getting exited for a shitty Squareshit port episode
Haven't you learned from their past releases?

Man I still have fond memories of Yea Forums's threads during the Crystal Bearers reveal.

I really tried to like that game, and I feel it really had a lot of heart in it, but god it was so bad. The characters were really charming even if not very memorable, the MC in particular remains a favorite.

t. retarded nigger

gameplay was hindered by bad world design. That's where it failed.

Maybe my memory is just foggy but seems there'll be more character options for appearance as well

I haven't played it yet, but it's directed by the main dude behind Romancing SaGa and the SaGa series, so it really can't be the bad?

I checked some gameplay from the Wii game Crystal Bearers, or more accurately I tried to, but every time I clicked at random timeframes in playthroughs in youtube, I always ended up at some cutscene or walking around in some town.
Does that game have any combat at all, or it's really all just talking in cutscenes and walking around? Looks good, but holy shit does it look boring as fuck.

>How hard can it be for them to put gba-tier screen on the side of the screen while maintaining the continuous action
I won't be able to read the news of it this morning, but did they confirm that everybody would be getting their own unique 'abilities' and such during multiplayer similar to what they did with the GBA? Like one guy can see where all the chests are, another has the full map, red was like the entire beastiary or so on.

my nigga.

hatfags are russians and gays

What ya don't like O'flannery the selkie? She chased all the marlboros out of Selkland. Before the times of trouble.

>hatfags are russians and gays

cyka blyat

I always leaned toward magic myself, but prefered the Clavats because they were tankier. The sword and board Paladin aesthetic always appealed to me more than a straight up Mage. Maybe if the new customization options are good I'll make a Yuke and go full magic.

>such during multiplayer similar to what they did with the GBA? Like one guy can see where all the chests are, another has the full map, red was like the entire beastiary or so on.
I doubt so. It would be very obnoxious to do that on online.

I used to be 100% only into warrior/paladin aesthetics as well

I'd wager they'll release it on PC soon enough. Playing on android is a bit of a torture.

Maybe... except if its on Android then its in playstore, which means if it goes to PC chances are it should go to Microshit store... and chances are square doesn't want dirty Microshit getting their paws on their property. But this is all speculation.

Don't do it, user. We're here to celebrate a videogame.

That would be sweet, actually.

I got the GCN version from a classic game store recently and was playing Yuke. In the original, they’re the only species without an exclusive Ultimate weapon design. I had a real kick in the balls when I saw a generic “ultimate weapon” blueprint on the artifact select menu at the end of the first stage second year. I didn’t have the inventory space to grab it since I had no idea blueprints could show up as options along with artifacts, so make sure to always have a space in your inventory at the end of each stage.

This isn't the game to say that about. I'm sure there's a Xenoblade thread up.

It's looking like the good kind of remaster, not the bad kind.

The GC adapter doesn't work like that.
IT doesn't have the GBA bios that is required or some shit.
I already read a bunch of forum posts trying to get it to work with an emulator.

Poor phrasing on my part. I should have said, everyone gets a “legendary” weapon but the other races also get exclusive ultimates such as the “lunar”, “celestial”, and “dark” weapons that rival the “legendary” of their respective class.

user you continue with the poor phrasing, what are you even trying to say? Every single race gets "ultima X" as the second to last weapon, and then one more after. Each weapon after ultima, for every race, including Yuke, has a different description type and special attack, though a previous weapon in the tree may have had that attack.

Literally what are you trying to say?

Attached: 12.png (869x867, 135K)

Oh, are you literally just talking about the "design" name? It has absolutely nothing to do with the game, its just nomenclature. The Yuke final hammer is just as powerful as it should be.

if they didn't fix the combat (having to trigger swap between attack and defend), the game is still shit.

Attached: 1560067011222.png (1280x720, 1.82M)

True, I was just wondering why the Yuke species didn’t get one but it could be as simple as them being the mage class so weapons are secondary. The stats are fine like you said, though I wonder if this remaster will give the Yuke’s one with a different focus attack.

A cool focus attack would be a self buff that increases casting speed even further

literally just names user, stats check out. Like says, they're a casting class, and still as strong as the second melee class in terms of stats. Stop getting autistic about a single line of text. It even has a unique ability.

oh lay off you've done nothing but bash him the entire time yet you're the one who says he's the autistic one
