I can't help but think this is what Crystal Bearers turned into. :P

[Cim]

I've yet to play a single CC game, but the name sounds cool, so I might end up playing this one.

[Elpizo]

Well... To be honest I think Wii-owners would have been better off receiving The Crystal Bearers from SE.

[ljkkjlcm9]

wait, so there's a game both for DS and the Wii... and it's like... the same game?

THE JACKAL

[Kentarou]

Yeah. And DS owners can play with Wii Owners over the net. o_o

About Crystal Bearers, though, could it really be that this...



transformed into this?



By the way, did anyone else notice that the guy in the first picture is holding the Green Crystal, the Wind Crystal, and is also able to fly? :o

Does anyone know the controls for the DS game? Its not Stylus based is it?

[.:kerrod:.]

is the wii game any good? i would really love to check it out if it is

I haven't heard about Echoes of Time yet!

I just read a bunch of articles on it. Crystal Bearers is still being developed for the Wii.

I'm excited but skeptical about this game. Rings of Fate was . . . an utter disappointment for me and the friend I game with. We had so many expectations from the original CC game . . . and it just didn't live up. First of all, the implementation of 3D (jumping and such) would have been nice except that sometimes the angles were absurd and impossible to tell where you were jumping to. The complete lack of camera adjustment was beyond frustrating.

But more importantly: it had ZERO story (in multiplayer mode). WTF? It was insane how completely plotless and characterless it was. The story in the single player mode was awesome . . . but what moron decided that you couldn't play multiplayer in "story mode"? He should be fired.

I hope to god that this game allows for multiplayer in a "storymode" but the very mention that online game play allows you to "visit a friend's world or have them visit yours" leaves me suspicious.

Another game to completely blow it along these lines is From the Abyss. Anyone play it? It was hyped to be a TRUE original Mana-style game (but not made by Squeenix) with co-op play . . . but in order to have multiplayer, each character must have already finished that particular level in single player. WTF? What's the point in even playing multiplayer then if you both have to have already finished the game.

Anyway, I'm really excited about what I would imagine this game could be . . . but I'm sure that squeenix will let me down once again.
