Screens Enemies and Features

2 New Features, they are debates based on arguments for and against some FF:CC related issues (GBA Requirement and Character Creation), they are a teeny bit old so some new stuff hasn't been mentioned. 7 new screens added and they include the crystal, some battles and the world map in action and I have added a link to the Nintendo.com Images (20 of them), these screens bring the total to 57 screens. Added 4 new enemies to the enemies page including the "Lizard King" and the "Goblin" (Correct Translations).

The A-Z of FF:CC

New Feature! I've added yet another feature titled 'The A-Z of FF:CC' it is a bunch of small overviews of the things we see in FF:CC in alphabetical order. If you don't know much about FF:CC and don't want to have to look all around the net I suggest you take a look at this feature, you can get to it from the features page.

FF:CC Theme Song

According to the latest Famitsu a Japanese female singer by the name of 'Yae' will sing the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles theme. You can find more information about Yae at her official site: http://www.yaenet.com/.

Special Thanks to ColdMephisto for getting this info.

On the Battlefield

New Feature! This time it's 'On the Battlefield'. It's an overview of the FF:CC Battle system, I know enough and have seen enough to know that it will be VERY close to what the battle system really is. Check it out at the features page.

Big Update

New section "features" is up, from there you can access the judgements and the new trailer overview, an overview with pics of the Jump Festival Trailer. Also Jump Magazine has published to new scans that can bee seen in the media Section, the poster reveals more info on the GBA which can be viewed on the GBA Connection page.

Apology

Sorry for the lack of updates but my computer crashed for a week and there hasn't been any news lately besides the IGN videos, anyway just letting you know I'm still here and updates will resume when I can get some info.

US Release Date Planned-12/19/02

Apparently FF:CC is being planned for release at the end of 2003 but I cant say whether or not this is official conformation on a US release date. I'd also like to say that other sites have reported the class names as Krabat, Yuk or Clovert and Yurk but We do know Clavat is the REAL class name (not Krabat or Clovert) but the name Yulk is yet to be clarified.

New In-Game Screenshots

I have obtained 5 in game screens of FF:CC and the show a lot of the gameplay features but they are scans from the poster so they are a little fuzzy and some have big Japanese letters on them but are still big and visible.

Big Update

Ok, The names I mentioned (Yuk, Selki, Krabat and Lilty) are not character names but class names. At the beginning of the game you pick a class. Also some of the names were wrongly Translated. The real names are Yuke, Selkie, Clavat and Lilty. Check the new Classes page for all the info. I've also updated the storyline page with a much easier to understand version. The videos will also be down for no more than 2 days while I change them to a different account.

New Story Details

It has been revealed that at the beginning of the game you pick one of the main four characters each with their own story. Character names have also been revealed: Yuk, Selki, Krabat and Lilty.

Site Revamping Complete

I've changed the site colour theme to a green colour to suit the official logo better and changed the site logo to the official one.

FFCC Magazine Ad

A Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ad has appeared in a Japanese mag, I've added a pic to the media page but all the writing is in Japanese but the pictures and screens are very informational.

Official Storyline!

I've added the story line that was on a poster to the storyline page, keep in mind it is translated from Japansese so it may not be entirely correct. I cant wait for this game anymore!

New site section!

The message board was completely dead, not one message! Anyway, I've replaced it with the new section, Judgements, the section provides great and thoughtful, but long, comments on FF:CC. The first Judgement is by Nikky from Gamefaqs and is a must read.

Well Not really but I have found a concept of what looks like the crystal. Head to the media page to see it.

GBA Features Revealed!:

Square has been promising that the link up would give FF:CC new forms of communication. Today, we learned the nature of this communication. When linked up to the Cube, the Game Boy Advance replaces your controller. All your character information is displayed on the GBA screen, keeping it hidden from other players (up to four can play simultaneously). The communication results from you having to now shout out things like "I'm about to die! Use a healing spell!" and "Leave it to me! I'll use magic!".

New FF:CC Movie:

I've got a new FF:CC movie for you to download, its from the Cube Club DVD. Nothing really new, just the Concept Art and some gameplay formed into a cool video.
