Jon Jinn, shouldn't you be playing Grandia II by now?

4. You NEED GBAs and a GBA/Gamecube link to play multiplayer. It's REALLY dumb like that. Just let us the Gamecube controllers!

Many reasons
1. Repetitive gameplay. Every level you go through dungeons to grab a drop of this special liquid that prevents your clan from dying. Same thing over and over.
2. Single player SUCKS. Every dungeon has some poisonous mist, and you have this moogle traveling with you holding a jar of special liquid that shields you from it within a special circle. Problem is the moogle stops every few minutes to rest. It's really lame.

Agreed, get Tales of Symphonia!

Myoti wrote:Interesting. You said the gameplay was repetitive, yet followed up with nothing really about the gameplay itself (which was actually pretty good).
Did you not understand the point of the game? The mist was there for a good reason (a GAMEPLAY-wise reason)
Mr. SmartyPants wrote:It was repetative because all you did was crawl through dungeons to kill a boss and get some liquid.
Wow... I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but you basically just described many RPGs (besides the getting of the liquid).

Myoti wrote:Oh, indeed, I noticed that. And the funny thing is, he still said NOTHING about the the actual gameplay itself.
I am saying it's repetitive because the story is boring. A good story keeps an overall gameplay fresh; it gives you good incentive to continue.

Tom Dincht wrote:MSP, if you knew you were going to hate it, why did you play it?
Myoti wrote:Still, it's not nearly as bad as MSP keeps trying to make it out to be
Correct, however Mario brothers was here over two decades ago, and set the standard of gaming.
Crystal Chronicles is something that requires a much higher standard, as it was made more recently. Or that's how I see it.
Myoti wrote:In that case: Super Smash Bros. Melee has no story, and it's still a great game. =p
Seriously, though, if you're going to talk about game story, FF:CC does have one. Albeit short and mostly condensed to the end, it's actually pretty good (though I get the feeling from the posts here that most people haven't actually reached the end of the game, so I doubt they'd know what I'm talking about...).
