i know iam geting this looks a bit like the king story

The big question is, is it online?

360 Gamertag: shiptoncraig
PSN: shiptoncraig
Steam: Guess what?

They expect us to download that?? To where? The Wii!?!?

It looks like a big game to download. I was expecting small arcade style games on Wii Ware. It's a pleasant suprise, but it will fill up the Wii's memory in no time. Hopefully they'll announce a hard drive.

They will have to. I have already 51 great VC games and my system is constantly full, I will need a HD.

This game does indeed sound a little like Actraiser, I am really looking foward to it, it will definitely be one of the first titles I download.

Trepe update your system if you have not already Smilie.

Sweet - seems like we'll be needing a hard-drive attachment! Hopefully they'll enable USB h/d support Smilie

Looks damn good!

That's a big hope, expect a USB HD but one only used by the Wii, and your Wii at that.

Ninty said 'use a big SD-card', but it's no use when you can't play from SD-card directly. If they enable that, they surely my enable USB-hdd, too, as it's basically the same!

Wow, I wasn't expecting that great a graphics. I think the RPG iteself won't be that huge, since it's 'only' 1500 points for it and must fit onto Wii's internal memory (I do not mean 'RAM'). But that's fine. Some great decent Quests in this world, these I would like.
I definitely will jump onto Wiiware-channel, since there are already at least 2 games announced, which I want!

With SQenix helping pushing this channel, I am sure it will be a success! I do hope so, since I like XBLA.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!


FFCC news site

When the world where the 瘴 air clears up with participating of the crystal caravan, becomes peace area of a certain remote region. At one time the king who loses the country due to the 瘴 air at area of this remote region which arrives, giving drives the strange power which is called construction technique from the crystal.

As you use construction technique, you keep making the country revive which is lost, it means that the puzzle which is concealed crystal keeps becoming clear but .......

Smilie so it so happen at the end of ffcc on GC

Hmm... this looks just like a regular Wii game. That's what I don't get about Wiiware, why would Square wanna make a game like this when they could just release it on Wii? I guessed Wiiware was for indie developers to make high quality 2D games, like with XBOX Live Arcade, but it would seem we'll get fully fledged 3D games too.

Did Nintendo say this would cost 1500 Wii Points!? BARGAIN!! Smilie

EDIT: Y'know if Nintendo would enable getting & playign game data directly from the SD cards, then all our problems would be solved anyhow. Most of us probably have SD cards for the Wii right now, & they have quite a bit of space on them.

Telling the truth? I'm tired of the FF festival
What is your opinion?

On other consoles maybe, but Nintendo is still severely lacking the Final Fantasy love. Smilie

Maybe after Square release FFVII & FFXIII on Nintendo consoles, maybe that would be enough, but until then, NEVAR. Smilie

We're gonna need a HD now. A small 10gb (maybe different optional sizes?) one that managed to somehow connect via USB and not block the other USB port would be fantastic.

Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.

What?!

Why hasnt that moggle got fur?
And why hasnt that crystal got refractions??!?!

Seriously, Crystal Chronicals on the gamecube managed those things, why shouldnt this?

And dont try to tell me they take up space on a download.
Coding like that, no mater how complex, is only going to be a few kb.
Its textures, music, fmv that takes up the space.

Theres NO excuse not to have fur and refractions.

Come on Square!
Cut and paste that gamecube code you got lieing about!


CC on the gamecube was one of the best looking games by far.
I was hopeing FFCC would showcase what the Wii could do.
I dont care about not having Xbox360 graphics, but we should be equaly the GC's best.

Last update; Mice,Plumbers,Animatronics and Airbenders. We also have the socials; Facebook & G+

This IS a Wiiware game... aren't you even surprised it looks THIS good? I mean, you can CUT Moogles' hair anyways. Smilie

chip look so good no fight see but hmmm

Looks great! ^^ Most similar version to the GC game yet!

So I guess this is the equivalent for those who really liked the style of the GC game, rather than the Chibi look of the DS game, & the mature look of the Wii game.

Character customisation back?

This looks brilliant for a WiiWare game! Wasn't expecting it at all.
