Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

Not sure if there was a thread a few days ago, Square had a live show for a number of their upcoming games, one of which being Crystal Chronicles Remastered
youtube.com/watch?v=bus_BcFJ3GU
So, let's see what's new, first of which is the January 23rd release date.
Not technically Winter 2019, damn bastards

Most of the cutscene characters will be voiced along with the player character's combat dialogue, and we already know from the trailer a few weeks ago the voice acting will be localized.
No word whether we can choose between English or Japanese

There's now post game cycles included for all the dungeons, providing a harder challenge and, new aesthetics and original additions to the layouts.
And everyone's favorite, recolored bosses

The player characters have a new skin each, making the total variations for each character up from four to five
Some of the skins are based on some of the DS game's designs.
I don't even think the female Yuke has a body

Already confirmed before, but online cross play is possible between every version of the game
I'm not sure whose dick had to be sucked for Sony to allow this

Managing the in game Command List using a touch screen
Seems like the mobile version weren't a complete afterthought, it's a quick drag and go the moment you open the menu

You have a choice of voices during character creation, as is the standard nowadays

A visible dial now shows up during multiplayer magic fusing, making timing the casts for stuff like Gravity and Holy a lot easier when playing with others
Good thing too, having to constantly Holy the Dragon Zombie and Lich bosses were a pain in the ass during multiplay before

The yellow Clavat here joined the game in the middle of the dungeon, it may be possible for your party to fill up mid dungeon while playing online multiplayer

Attached: Untitled.jpg (1920x1080, 496K)

This was seriously unexpected on my part.

The demonstrators actually pulled off Firaga+2, maybe a party of Yukes won't be so bad with how much easier it is to fuse magic
Now if they had shown off Holyga that'd be even more surprising. It was bullshit trying to cast that at any time during multiplay in the original

That's a wealth of intel, thanks OP.

Good shit. My IRL buds and I are very much looking forward to this. We just played through the GCN version last year together.

And lastly, here's the pricing.
Looks like it's about $20 less than normal Switch games. Not sure how it compares to PS4.
Also another $20 off for the mobile versions, I feel ripped off
Also a reminder, I don't believe the Amercas are getting a physical version of the game on the Switch, it's an eShop digital download only

>eshop digital download only
Fuck, why?

Is the orange-haired Selkie meant to reference something? Doesn't look too interesting.

Well the male is just reusing Gnash's design from Ring of Fates on the DS
The female appears to be original though

>no PC port
Why?
Why is Japan so finicky about PC gaming?

Wait,,,you mean switch version is 40$ and mobile is 20$?

Yep, I'm aware of that one, Ring of Fates was actually my first game within these subseries.
It's original, then, I see.

Japs don't usually play on computers so there's not much of a local market there, which leads to less practice in making PC ports.

They butchered the English soundtrack.

no steam no buy

>mobile
How's pricing going to work on that including online play? Legit would rather emulate and play on PC.

Never owned a gc how long would it take to beat this game?

Can I at least play with Yea Forums?

>I'm not sure whose dick had to be sucked for Sony to allow this
They must have did a good job to get Sony on board.

is there an option to disable voices?
does it mention if the recolored bosses have additional mechanics?

4800 yen is roughly $44 usd so yeah it looks like it. honestly really glad because there's not a single remaster on the planet worth $60

Casually around 30 hours
Endgame maxing adds loads more to that, only because of rng bullshit for dungeon drops.
Single player never needs to grind stats due to how enemy strength scales, but playing multiplayer makes grinding necessary, enemies that normally took half a heart off will regularly take multiple hearts each hit

>grinding the lilty weapon materials on mt kilanda without being able to see the bonus objective

I don't see why not, I'm sure Yea Forums has a cell phone at least
No word on disabling voices either, and yes the recolored bosses should have new mechanics for their fights

>eShop digital download only
Ugh, I'd even accept a limited physical run.

What about Links Awakening? That’s $60. Also knowing the US pricing it should be about $39.99.

>new mechanics
then the bosses being recolored doesn't bother me. is it only on the third loop or do we get a bonus fourth loop now?

that's not a remaster, that's a remake. a remaster is taking the base game and touching it up with some minor new additions/fixes/graphical improvements. a remake is starting from scratch and recreating the game in a more modern way

The new dungeon layouts appear to be for 4th+ loops unlocked after beating the final boss

Can you play the story mode online?

>ffcc now has a post game

Attached: 1528415627989.png (679x427, 22K)

the whole game is story mode user, but all we know for sure right now is that online is done via a lobby system. not sure if you join lobbies on entering a dungeon or before starting the game

I got pretty excited too until I saw a character holding the Chalice in Gone are the dreams of playing the game without miasma, only crap like My Life as a King where you send npcs out to play the game you SHOULD be playing

i never understood everyone's gripes with the chalice. there's almost never a point where you're running fast enough to where the outside of the circle matters

Well the handheld sequels dropped the miasma but I get where you are coming from if only SE made a proper sequel on consoles this series would have been able to evolve.

Kinda excited for this and PSO, sadly the Switch version of PSO is a fucking dumpster fire.

>ruined the soundtrack
>will ruin the narration
>no local mp

no thanks SE, you had 1 job

I actually liked the chalice lol was cool having your friends navigate around a barrier, game was so comfy as a kid with friends I hope it has the same charm playing online

where's the soundtrack ruined? and you can easily do local assuming your friends have phones or a switch

Holy fuck. This is less a mere remaster, and more a re-release like FFVII International, FFX International, KH Final Mix, KH2 Final Mix, et al. New features and bonuses galore.

How will lobbies work, I know on the original game your character leveled up as you went through the years and you could transfer a character to a new file and just be absurdly OP in the early years, will there be some kind of scaling?

Won't there be an option for the original tracks?

>get the original vocalist back
>does weird breathy shit on every other word
literally why? but as far as every other song goes they sound the same

That's a good question also didn't sending a character to another persons game removed all items except what you had equipped?

honestly i would've been content if it was just the same game but with online multiplayer. seeing all this bonus shit just makes me genuinely excited

Attached: 1551401653402.gif (640x480, 1.07M)

Don't be a baby, the chalice is not that big a deal.
And the story wouldn't work without miasma, either, it would feel like an excuse plot.

>all these people excited about the announcement
What's the big deal? These sound more like QoL improvements than anything significant.

that's because the game was a solid 7/10 that only really needed QoL improvements to really shine
that and a dedicated fucking defend button which it seems we aren't getting

what did they do?

when he says soundtrack he means just the opening because none of the other songs have lyrics

Yes, so you just kept your stats(artifacts) and any ring or whatever you had

Oh well. I'll wait a bit to buy it twice then. Or not at all.

phones and consoles have crossplay you can have a ps4, a switch, and 2 phones play together all in the same room with only 1 tv

...you can sit with your friend in the same room....

I really love the art direction for the Crystal Chronicles games.

gameplay aside the artstyle and music are easily the best in the entirety of final fantasy

>Charges 40 fucking dollars for a remaster
>But hey guys! It's $20 cheaper than a normal Switch game!
No shit? It's not a normal Switch game, it's a fucking remaster. $40 is way too much, but nice attempt framing it that way, shill.

Attached: 3wtwjCs.png (731x720, 483K)

I've never played FFCC before, but looking at those screenshots, is this what visuals will look like? I know it's a gamecube game originally, but hey, the graphics seem to be straight from the beginning of the 2000s. They could've at least improved it a little bit.

you realize almost every remaster ever has been $40 or $60 right? and the mobile versions only cost $20

The game was literally made in the beginning of the 2000s, and it's a remaster and not a remake. Fail to see the problem. The only issue is the price, $40 for this is bullshit.

its basically just the same as it was but higher resolution and cleaner. you can't really improve the graphics beyond retextures without hurting the artstyle
see the phone versions are $20 and still have crossplay

Look it up. The new version of the opening theme is fucking slow. The singer deliberately pauses between words or something. It was painful to listen to. The original was great.

Attached: 6b84da2d9de51699182b9b07be4e4a33.jpg (796x1009, 162K)

This, and knowing square its gonna be 10 dollars cheaper in a sale after a month anyways

Not really, maybe on switch, and even there the only thing that comes into mind is the Mana Collection but that gave you 3 games for that $40 still much.
Btw others doing it doesn't make it magically okay, it's not an argument.
In any case, I'm simply calling you out for using unapologetic shill language framing it "lol it costs $20 less than a normal Switch game" get the fuck out of here with that dishonest bullshit.

Yeah, in different consoles, for twice the price. We usually co-spend for games, so paying 50 bucks each is a bit too much for a game that was originally on the Gamecube, honestly. Will wait on this one.

>They could've at least improved it a little bit.
You should never ask for that. This is the best kind of remaster there can be.

you say $40 for a remaster is bullshit but i'll bet you right here and now you're the type of person that's going to buy persona 5 royal on day 1 even though its $60 and offers basically the same amount of new content that the ffcc remaster does
3 people buying the mobile version is $60 which is the same amount you would've spent on one copy of the original gamecube version.

The phone versions being $20 actually makes this situation worse. How will you explain that I should be happy about the +$20 Switch tax? Don't even attempt to use the "other games are more expensive on Switch too" non-argument.

>No pc release
>Phone releases
Wh you gotta be like that SE? I fucking LOVED this game as a kid but never really played multiplayer because none of my friends were interested in the convoluted method. All I want to do is play a lanky faceless chicken-mage, is that so much to ask?

You can fuck right off with the completely baseless accusations in an attempt to derail this. You know exactly 0 things about me, including what my opinion of Persona 5 is. What to does Persona 5 have to do with anything?

buying it on console lets you use it on your tv without third party accessories and also use a controller. wouldn't be surprised if the switch version lets you use gamecube controllers since smash has the adapter
i wouldn't be surprised if it came to pc at a later date being that basically every other final fantasy aside from tactics has

Those are not $20 features.

>3 people buying the mobile version is $60 which is the same amount you would've spent on one copy of the original gamecube version.
Shame we don't play on mobile since ours are crap. I don't think it's very acceptable to do such a co-op based game this treatment, though. Kills the spontaneity of playing, which maybe emulates the thing about having to have a GBA to play this on co-op on the original, I guess. Still not "good", per se.

Fuck, I don't want to pay Nintendo or Sony money every year for 1 game.

Has controller compatibility been confirmed for mobile?

MY.NIGG

not a lot has been confirmed. local coop hasn't been confirmed kill either

>no local co-op
trash.jpg

>local coop hasn't been confirmed kill either
It's a bit too late to confirm it isn't it? They just go on and on about the online features (which are pretty good, the only game I've seen do this kinda stuff since Dragon's Crown). Why won't any journalist just fucking ask them though? It's insane that such a prominent question for this game hasn't been responded yet.

journalists/fans not asking the right questions is hardly a problem exclusive to ffcc

it not being exclusive to ffcc doesn't excuse it from it though, stop trying to deflect everything

Agreed.

how the fuck am i supposed to know why they aren't asking about local coop? all i know is that it hasn't been asked about and that nobody ever asks the right questions for any game

I just realized that I'd have to buy PS4 online to play local co-op on this game. Oh man fuck this.

I'm excited. Might play it on mobile. Would prefer PC, but I'll take what I can get.
Hell, if we ended up having threads setting up co-op runs for this I might even play with you lot.

>Why won't any journalist just fucking ask them though?
They probably didn't play the original and have grown up with online multiplayer.
Local co-op is a boomer thing these days.

>the original ffcc was 17 years ago

user I wouldn't wager that the mean age of game journalists is below 26-30.

more like the gamecube version + 3 gba cables + 3gbas if you want to play with 2 friends

one more cable and gba of course for 4 player haha

Why would you need 3 gbas to play with 2 friends? Can't one person play with the GC controller?

Yeah, it was ridiculous. My point is that this is still making it hard to just have a friend and you play the game on the same room. It's very impractical.

>samurai clavat

I love it.

I wanna play a yuke and hoard all magicite rings and magic stat boosts. I must become the greatest wizard.

Yes, you can combine spell magicite/rings and melee attacks into spellsword-style abilities.

I'm excited, gotta figure out how I wanna play this time.

>Voiced
Good god no, why?

>Digital only
For fucks sake, stop that SE. Bad enough you did this with FF8 and bungled the remaster to boot.

Never played the original game, but kinda like the artstyle. Is it good?

it's not the best game ever made but its pretty good

CC is probably my favorite FF and a serious contender for my favorite game of that console generation so I've been hyped for the remaster since it was announced. Pushed out of 2019, fucked up the theme song, and no physical for us burgers kinda killed my hype but I still want it a lot. Hopefully Europe gets a physical edition. I just need to order all of my switch shit from there anyway after the got collector's editions for daemon X Machina and Astral Chain and we didn't.

It's notorious for being one of the most difficult game to set up for multiplayer properly. Aside from that, it's fun, not amazing of anything.

Well, I knew it was familiar from somewhere at least...

Does it still have local multiplayer?

Its a iOS remake with ports to android, switch and PS4
Its fucked

my headcanon for why its literally the same as halloween town is because they had the license to an instrumental version in kingdom hearts and they realized it was already pretty similar to the moogle theme(s) they had
hasnt been confirmed or deconfirmed

>does an iOS game have local multiplayer
user...

>a dedicated fucking defend button which it seems we aren't getting
I heard they were adding something to make the command list less tedious. Was it just that attack was its own button?

everything on the command list shared one button and you had to use another to cycle through the list. it basically resulted in defend being completely useless because the time it takes to swap to defend and then actually get defend to activate is the same amount of time it takes for an enemy to hit you twice

if the male selkie was a reference they should've done a chime reference for the female selkie.

Attached: Chime swimsuit.jpg (168x400, 18K)

I have never had an issue using Defend and i used it quite often on my Clavat and my Yuke. Im sure trying to time the Selkie backflip would be tougher but still easily manageable.

maybe it takes longer on lilty but i know for a god damn fact due to input lag and how long it takes to swap to defend it is fucking impossible to actually block an attack unless you sit there waiting for it

>tfw they haven't brought up local multiplayer at all
It's not in, is it?

Attached: 1562935354545.jpg (632x475, 37K)

You're probably right about it being tougher on a lility, i cant remember much about them since i never really cared much for the race. As i recall they were meant for pure offence so i guess having a crappy defend was meant to be the major drawback

Guess you'll have to buy your own copies for multiplayer ;^)

Red 3 standing by

It would be a very pleasant surprise if it was in. But it ain't.

Why are you seething you faggot lmao. Get a job if 40 bucks is too much for you

>get the fuck out of here with that dishonest bullshit.
What about stating a fact is dishonest? Autism

So is this going to be like the sequels where you pretty much have the same game screen as everyone else, or does each person have their own screen like on the original (one has map, another has monster stats, etc.)
That was what made the original so unique - you had to communicate with friends utilizing the information you had.

40 bucks is not too much for me, it's too much for a remaster though
You're being disingenious

Whoa BASED this is fucking AWESOME

That's cool but...DOES IT HAVE COUCH CO-OP OR IS IT ONLINE ONLY THIS IS LITERALLY PIVOTAL TO MOST PEOPLE'S PURCHASE

jan 23 *is* winter 2019 you stupid cunt

Justify giving Yukes a dedicated Defend button, would literally trivialize the game

could always make enemies hit harder and have more hp at the same time that way well timed defends would be necessary

Yes you can use moves like Firestrike

Not sure what the formula is but it akes from your str and the sypporting caster's mag

You're being retarded. He didn't say it's $40 because it's not $40 in Japan, it's $20 less than the standard japanese price. Be grateful someone took the time to translate this shit for you nigger

These are all from other CC games, right? Pretty sure that's Amidatelion and I recognize the Selkie male, but what's with mini-Ganondorf and Samurai Clavat?

I'm not grateful at all for the blatant shill language. You can fuck right off to where you came from.

The new male Lilty is most likely a reference to Jegran from Crystal Bearers. For a Lilty, he was an unusually big motherfucker.
