Square has re-launched the Crystal Bearers website with a bit of a twist: the more hits, the more movies are unlocked! They've posted the trailer that was included with the Japanese version of Echoes of Time, and some wallpaper. Two more movies are currently greyed out, just waiting to be unlocked...

Same here.

I think the whole Crystal Chronicles subset of Final Fantasy is starting to really get clunky with subtitles, though. FF:CC:TCB?
er...i dunno. it sure doesn't look bad by any stretch of the imagination. I'd go so far as to say it looks quite good, but there's nothing there that we didn't see on the ps2.
Then again, maybe I'm remembering last gen as being better looking than it actually was.
You are. At least in terms of what the PS2 was capable of producing. You think that video doesn't look any better than GoW or GT4?
it is still relatively early in the wiis life span that games are just starting to look amazing. since the technology is starting to be pushed/ people are caring enough besides ooh waggle
of course that is the stock answer for wii graphics

Some people don't want to wade through two pages of "Aeris vs. Aerith" just to check and see if there's actual new news available. :P The rules have apparently been loosened, but megathreads were banned a while ago for this specific reason.
Let's put it this way; I get excited when more Wii games aesthetically look better than high-end PS2 games. SE has almost always pushed the tech of whatever system they're working on—their stuff on the DS and PSP look great—and it'll be even better if we can get more top-flight action-adventure games on the Wii, like this is looking like it's becoming. Like some people have said, almost Zelda-ish.
Fair enough. I think things loosened up after the political mega-threads over in D&D last year. Perhaps turn this into a general Crystal chronicles thread? That way I can use it to find people to play echoes of time with next week >.>

then make an echoes of time thread... the games are related in no way whatsoever.

Keep in mind that it's mostly just SE that does this. What were the most amazing-looking PS2 games? Sony-published games, and FFXII.
What are the best looking DS games? Nintendo and SE games.
The pattern continues on the Wii. SE seems to have some magic wand they use to pull extra power out of these machines that no one else bothers to.

Dark, eldritch rituals involving the sacrifice of an albino calf born under the full moon of the winter solstice.
Laziness and the fact that Wii is an oportunity to launch games on 2 other consoles at the same time i.e. PS2 and PSP.

As for this game... why no true sequel to the original GC CC huh, Square, whyyy?
Echoes of Time does not count, the Wii version looks like a fucking joke.

Also, I love Kumi Tanioka. What a great composer.

My biggest complaint though is it's online system. This is pretty much how all the other Nintendo games work but it's still frustrating to experience. You either play with people you know or play with anonymous people. For 90% of people that wants to play this online you'll choose anonymous mode. This means the only way to communicate with these players is by predetermined macros, like "Yes" or "Follow Me". If you play with someone you like, you can add them to your friends list. But it is pointless because there is no way to tell them to join your game or schedule a time for you guys to play with each other. Basically you play with one person and you'll never see them again.
I wish it would say something like "Your friend is online and in a game right now, would you like to join?" when you first connect to Nintendo WFC.
Regardless, the way EoT looks is borderline unacceptable, and the reviews I've read say that the pointing controls are clunky. S-E should have figured out how to make the game have actual non-DS graphics and created a control system that worked for the Wii.
Maybe I'll buy it when it gets down to the $20 range...
so i guess ill have to pass on this one.
