[edit] Cost of GBAs

The article says: "getting four people with GBAs and cables together to play this game is daunting, unlikely, and expensive."

I wonder if this true anymore. It should probably be switched to the past tense, as GBAs are $10-20 each, and a single person can now feasibly buy four GBA-SPs for only $160 or so (less than the cost of most PC graphics cards.)

I wonder if it should mention it at all. The only hardship faced was getting the GCN-GBA cables, which wasn't that much at all - even less if each player bought their own cable... the game wasn't intended for one player to buy four GBAs and four GCN-GBA cables, but for people who already have GBAs amongst themselves. So it wasn't really that daunting unless everyone you happened to want to play with were either cheap or non-gamers, in which case it wouldn't be a huge loss in the first place... at any rate, I agree that it ought to be at least in the past tense. 24.70.68.199 07:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
The section refers to the price of GBAs at time of release; it's referring to reaction, not "reaction after 2 years". At the time it was in no way worth it, and, in my opinion, definitely not worth it to buy 4 GBAs now. I can only think of two games that would utilize it. Oh wait, NONE. Because neither LOZ 4 Swords nor Crystal Chronicles actually USED the GBA. It just REQUIRED it. Okay, sorry, I've gone much farther than I needed to.--Katana314 01:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Also: I took out "(But the family trade Thief isn't an option.)" since the family trade Warrior/Scholar/Magician aren't options, either, so this isn't a particularly useful bit of information... 24.70.68.199 07:37, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I tweaked the text here to reflect that this a relatively high expense when compared to the price of the game, and that the difficulty is more logistical. This can be further amended as needed. -- Slordak 14:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last Final Fantasy game for the Nintendo console

"Since Sony partially owns Square Enix, the company that makes the Final Fantasy series, it seemed extremely unlikely that Final Fantasy would ever be published on a Nintendo console again."

I'm not sure about this. As people know, there is a Final Fantasy game being made for the Wii and it's also being made by Square Enix.

It seemed unlikely. At the time, Final Fantasy was not lined up for any of Nintendo's consoles, save for re-releases of previous titles on the GBA. It's like saying that the odds of Rare releasing another Banjo-Kazooie game on one of Nintendo's consoles are slim to none, as they are owned by Microsoft now. Of course, now we now that Square Enix has no problem releasing original titles on other consoles. 69.165.194.193 00:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

With Snake appearing in SSBB, anything can happen. --Katana314 01:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

Can anyone document the critisisms? They seem to be two fan boys (one who doesn't mind Nintendo, the other who seems to hate it) and they just parry each other's comments. --Thaddius 01:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crystal Chronicles Template?

It's now apparent that Square Enix plans on continuing Crystal Chronicles as it's own series...so should it get it's own template, or at least section under the FF template? Right now all 3 CC games are listed under "spinoff."--Claude 06:42, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hurdy, Gurdy and the Scholar of Tipa

The article says:

"Gurdy: The rather untrustworthy Clavat makes his living out of cheating people out of their money. Players see him cheat both the Fields of Fum caravan and Amidatty. Possessing a great acting ability and silver tongue he seems to get away with it, though he often comes begging to players for help or money. Though one of the less pure characters he does help players a great deal in their quest with his poems. It later turns out that he has suffered from a loss of memories and barely knows who he is."

"Hurdy: A traveling priest who is apparently Gurdy's brother. However, near the end of the game, players will be given clues that suggest that Hurdy IS Gurdy, who thought his name was Gurdy after his memories were stolen by Raem, but this is not confirmed."

"The Scholar of Tipa: In year 2 onwards till around year 5 the village elder will stop characters on the bridge on their way out of Tipa to give them some information about a scholar from Tipa who wanted to rid the world of miasma and hired the Black Knight for protection when he traveled in search of a way to get rid of miasma. The scholar apparently dissapeared after sending a letter home to him from Mag Mel. He also claims that he recited certain poems which seemed to refer to the Lynara Desert. Gurdy will later recite these poems for players revealing that he could possibly have been the scholar before he lost his memories, however this is not confirmed. "

Not confirmed? In the official guide is confirmed that Gurdy, Hardy and the scholar of Tipa are not different persons.

"Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Official Guide" says:

"The story of Hurdy is told by Tipa's elder. // According to the elder, Hurdy was a young scholar born in Tipa and full of good intentions. // After several adventures, he quickly learned that the key to the enigma of the world lay in miasma streams. He eventually discovered the five poems leading to the treasure of the Linary Desert... // Upon hiring the Black Knight to protect him. // Hurdy and Gurdy are in fact the same person."

Hurdy is the Scholar of Tipa, and Gurdy is Hurdy.

[edit] Merge soundtrack in here

It's a few sentence mention, not a whole article. Judgesurreal777 03:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Anyone willing to expand it? There's plenty of room for it...--Claude 00:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Expand what? Kariteh 08:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Done. Now, Anybody want to UN-merge it? Create a "Music of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles" page? There is still an album called "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Opening Theme - Sound of the Wind" which I have not put in (YET). Anybody care to add a bit to what I put? (more text, a ref or two...)happypal (Talk | contribs) 12:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The general trend is that a "Music of" article is created when there is more than one album. Kariteh 13:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I'll get working on it then (I don't know when). I'll need a little help with text and intro, cuz I really suck at that. If anybody wants to help, it's fine if you edit this page, then I'll move everything together.happypal (Talk | contribs) 13:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Character page merger

The article has no references, and is unlikely to meet any Good Articles criteria at the moment...Judgesurreal777 23:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CC a FF9 spinoff.

I think someone should have pointed out once that Crystal Chronicles was an obvious spinoff of Final Fantasy 9 or maybe even a sequel. The fact that the character designs are identical to FF9 and that most every supporting character from FF9 reappears in CC(examples-Stilzskin,Artemicon, Mog) is a dead giveaway. Everytime I try to add this it gets edited out by whoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.192.187 (talk • contribs) 06:32, 6 August 2007

We'll need citations and references for that. If not, it's apparently Original research. — Blue。 07:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Just because the monster designs are similar doesn't mean anything... and because there are moogles (especially Moogles that have been in other Final Fantasy games, when talking of famous Stiltzkin, Artemicion, and Mog)... That's nothing, really. That's not "most every supporting character". What about Black Mages? Qu? Any nezumi? Tantalus Troupe? Beatrix? I'd say most of the supporting characters from FF9 are missing, not reappearing.. -JC 10:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

I would like to move the Audio section to a new page. It is currently as big as the rest of the article. I can do this via simple cut and paste, but is there anyway to do a correct "move" on the subsection only? I'm also not too familiar with the tags requesting for help. Thanks for the help. happypal (Talk | contribs) 13:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think the proper way to go about it is to put up the split template on the top of the page. From what I can gather it's explained here.--Niroht | Smoke signals 21:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
On second thought, I think it would be better not to move it. It is stronger in this article. If we moved it, it would just become a boring Stub.happypal (Talk | contribs) 16:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reassessment

This article seems to be coming along quite nicely, and I'm thinking maybe it should be reassessed by the various projects and possibly put up for review. Could I have some more opinions on this?--Niroht | Smoke signals 23:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
