No one got past that first fucking forest as a kid. And if you did, you’re lying. I played it as an adult and was finally able to actually make progress and beat it and it was good. The vibe and atmosphere is the best part by far thoufh

i love this game a lot
and i mean a LOT
but it is so damned clunky and hard to play single player that i might not ever have the strength to solo it but may never be able to have enough friends to give a damn about this game to ever beat it with a full party let alone 2 people
4 stars :(

It's alright, played it for a while with a friend but kinda lost the motivation to keep going at it. It definitely has soul but the actual dungeon-crawling is pretty simplistic and repetitive.

This game has too much bucket-carrying, and I never really got a chance to play the multiplayer except with my little brother occasionally. I was in love with the world, character designs, and the music is some of the best Final Fantasy music out of the entire series - if not the absolute best. I'm hesitant to get the re-release, but very very tempted to

The original was a masterpiece. Still some of my favorite character designs of all time. And up there with the best video game OST ever produced, alongside Chrono Cross and equal if not better than the rest of the FF opus. Let us not speak of the remaster.

Crystal Chronicles is not a single player game. Sure, it CAN be played that way, but it's a game meant to be played together, hunched over your Gameboy Advances as you argue about which way to go and battle it out for items. It's an amazing multiplayer experience and I have so many fond memories of it.

I just remember this being extremely repetitive and just overall boring, despite some cool ideas and lots of charm. I never could play multiplayer though.

Clearly made for multiplayer, but playing that multiplayer in current year is a logistical nightmare. Cool little game if you can actually find a way to play it to its fullest.

The music is incredible, please play it with three other people before judging it badly but make sure to split the cost of the accessories between you four...

Monísimos

i rented this a couple times in 2005

3 of your friends get to fight monsters and 1 of them gets to carry The Bucket.

one of the better final fantasy games

I remember this game being too hard for my little baby brain to grasp because I was 10 and didn't understand how jrpgs worked but it was v pretty. -1 star for the gameboy advanced multiplayer set up from hell who thought of this

An overhead action game that really has very little to do with Final Fantasy. It's a very odd game with a lot of quirks and an unusual way of telling its story. You can use GBAs as your controllers, and multiplayer is heavily encouraged. It's pretty fun with friends, but I'd say Zelda: Four Swords is better if you're looking to put those GBA cables to use.
