Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is one of many Nintendo DS RPGs with Nintendo Wi-Fi support. Sega has Phantasy Star Zero and Namco Bandai has Destiny Links. Details are still scarce, but one of the key features is up to four players can link up for online play via Nintendo Wi-Fi. Destiny Links doesn’t have any flashy graphics to show off, it’s sprite based, and appears to have a customizable attack system similar to Soma Bringer.
Unfortunately for Namco Bandai Destiny Links is in direct competition with Phantasy Star Zero and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. All three online DS RPGs are scheduled to come out this winter in Japan and Destiny Links is the clear underdog since it is not an established franchise.
