Crystal Chronicals really seems like a bad concept to me.  Its mainly just a gimmick to sell as many GBAs as Nintendo can (I know its a Square game, but Nintendo provides incentives to 3rd party developers that make games with link-cable functionality).

I can see where they were going with the concept, not cluttering the screen up with menus and such, but when you look at the other features of the game, I don\'t see it as a problem.  Firstly, you can\'t move when you\'re using the menus, holding the group up; secondly, the \"bucket\" prevents anyone from moving ahead as long as someone is stopped.

The implementation I would have went with would have used the C-stick to navigate a non-intrusive menu; possibly a radial, or a menu bar near the character information panel.

I\'m refering to Crystal Chronicals as the Gamecube Steel Battalion; when you need to pay $500 to play a game, it better be good!

Now Four Swords, that looks like a good reason to buy another 3 GBAs...

I can\'t say I like the idea of the GBAs being required very much, myself, but sine I rarely play with friends, and you can still play single-player with the controller, it\'ll work out.

 Good looking game. Not exactly the FF we all know and love, but I\'m not disappointed. It looks like it could be a refreshing departure from the standard FFs.

Lol, sep. I feel for you. Although I am not subjected to these evil release date things, I can simpathize. You have my MP40 if you need it, rusty as it is. Remember, we\'re all in this together. ;) ...Oh wait, that\'s Red Green. :P
