What�s new in Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

By Spencer . January 2, 2007 . 3:20pm

In Square-Enix�s Jump Fiesta trailer they show off new gameplay footage, but nothing is really explained about how Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates has changed from the Gamecube game. They both have similar looking characters, but Ring of Fates has a much more cohesive story line than Crystal Chronicles barebones pilgrimage quest. There are two main characters Yuri and Cherinka are twins who both appear to be Clavats. They�re joined up by a Yuke (the magic casting type) and the Lilty Misu. Besides set characters Square-Enix has changed around the gameplay in Ring of Fates. The crystal bucket, which restricted movement is gone and you have a MP meter at the bottom of the screen. Also the single player mode shows off more puzzles where you�re going to have to push blocks and jump around to pass levels. While cooperative play was a huge part of the Gamecube game, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates doesn�t make it as integral. This might not be a bad decision because playing Crystal Chronicles alone got boring fast. There still is wireless multiplayer where four people can link up, but it doesn�t look like you�re going to be using a custom character. All of the multiplayer screenshots show the same four characters: Yuri, Cherinka, Misu and the Yuke on the same screen.
