Ambiguous promises?
Check. Non-committal concepts? Check. No discernibly valuable information? Check. Why, that
must mean we're once again dealing with a developer's comments on their upcoming Revolution
games! Holy yes, what wealth of information awaits us today? The news comes from Square Enix president, Youichi Wada, and is directly concerned with the upcoming Revolution version of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. You may remember the Gamecube version for its intricate bucket-carrying gameplay and its colossal, quadruple GBA requirement for maximum multiplayer enjoyment. Regarding the sequel, Mr. Wada revealed that the game would feature "online capabilities, magnificent graphics, and an intense use of the revolutionary control of the platform."
Mr. Wada then shocked all by stating that the game would involve a whiny, spiky-haired teenager saving the world from an ancient evil. Ah, we jest. Online, cooperative multiplayer sounds like an excellent progression for the series, if indeed we can read that far into the mentioning of "online capabilities." As for affirming the presence of pretty graphics and use of the controller, well, that's hardly unexpected. If only these developers would cease taunting us with their dangling, dripping pieces of steak. We just want some information we can sink our teeth into. Perhaps we can expect the DS to interact with the game in the same way the GBA did with the Gamecube version?

I saw this link posted in the playbomb forums and I agree it doesn't tell us anything, just more of the same, but fans of the upcoming system and company will love it. I didn't though. And while I have a DS I sure hope they don't require some kind of outragious connectivity thing like they did with the gamecube. My biggest problem with that wasn't some much the fact that I had to own a gba or 4 of them to play it, it was the fact that I had to buy an expensive cable to use it, which ontop of being overpriced were hard to find.
Needless to say I'm looking forward to the title, but I won't worry myself with being anxious for it to release considering we know nothing about it and little about the system it's on.

'The rumours began to emerge after an article appeared on N-Planet.com which claimed the game would hit US shelves by 2007. Squenix president Yoichi Wada was quoted as saying that the game will feature "online capabilities, magnificent graphics and an intense use of the revolutionary control of the platform."
But a spokesperson for Square-Enix told us: "The online reports are incorrect. No new information has been disclosed since the official announcement last May."'

the first chrystal chronicles game was not just a gamecube game. in fact, you had to pay more for gameboys than gamecubes to play it. final fantasy chrystal chronicles was thus pretty much a gameboy advance game. unless you played solo. then it was a gamecube game. but seriously, 400 dollars for gameboy advances and 150 dollars for a gamecube, the gamecube suddenly became a periferal. a periferal that could play super monkey ball.
also, didn'the gameboy advance outsell the gamecube? isn't the gameboy advance still outselling the xbox?
