I bought Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and a new GBA SP so that my brother and I can now play multiplayer. The game is pretty good and is definitely at its best in multi-mode. In fact the game was basically designed for multiplayer. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is decent. It doesn't really live up to what I was expecting and plays a lot more like Seiken Densetsu than any Final Fantasy (not that that's bad). All in all, if you have the funds and some pals, go out and do yourself a favor. Pick this game up--there aren't many good multiplayer RPGs like this.

Lunar: Would this game be a good rental for two people or should I just go out and buy it? My friend and I are expecting something like PSO. Are our expectations too high?

It's a great game, just bought it too.

The only way i can see it being virtually like PSO is the action RPG element, that and you do combos of 3 hits(Only 1 type of attack though)

It depends what you like really, it's a break from PSO for me

Yeah, I don't think it would be a total letdown for you, I mean there are certain elements of the game that do resemble PSO. However, it is very different as well...the battles are rather fun and it's a good game all around. Renting it would work out alright because it is fairly short.

I think I'll stick this one on the rental list for now and buy when it comes down in price. Smile

Yea, if you do the math, Nintendo is going to make a hella lot of money off of this. Let's say that you are a first time gamer and want all of your buddies to play; that's going to set you back. For Example: 1 Crystal Chronicles disc - $50, 1 GameCube - $100, 4 GBA SP's $400, 4 link cables - $40. So that's $590 w/o tax. Though I don't think that there is anybody out there that prefers to go that route; but as always, I could be wrong.

I just got this game, and I have to say, it is AWESOME. Too bad I only have 1 GBA -> GCN link cable right now... Gonna get 1-2 more on Thursday ('Tis when GameStop gets more). Then I can play with my bros. or some buddies at the LAN party. I can't wait!
