AtomWatch – Living life as a Crystal Chronicles King
Even though we’re still running content from GDC on Siliconera the conference seems like a distant memory. Last week at Square Enix’s WiiWare panel, I saw an English trailer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. The trailer didn’t go into gameplay, there was a second video detailing that, but for those of you who were not at GDC you get to see approximately a third of the video presentation. (The second video was significantly longer than the trailer.)
Is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King aesthetically pleasing? Originally, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King was going to have graphics slightly better than the best looking Virtual Console games (read: Nintendo 64) to keep costs down. The team had a change of heart and settled on upgrading the visuals to make them on par with a Gamecube game. Finally, since this was a Final Fantasy title they wanted to go all out.
Even more interesting, as revealed in the Q&A, My Life as a King didn’t begin its life as a Final Fantasy game at all. Instead of fluffy moogles this could have had original characters.

W/ the game looking this good, I bet no matter what the gameplay they would still rake in tons of money in Jpn at 1,500 pt a piece.. but no dungeon is a little discouraging, this is not due to the limitation of Wiiware is it?

Looks really good to me, but that piece you wrote about the gameplay kinda bugs me. Unless this is dirt cheap, I may have to pass. Shiren will consume all of my free time after all.
