Can't wait - love FF:CC

Local play is it? That's a huge disappointment.

"Local play is it? That's a huge disappointment."

Not really, FFCC was always about being in the same room with the other players

Yes and I did that with 1 TV, 1 GC and 4 GBAs, but it's a pain to organise. The GBA didn't have Internet capability but the DS does - therefore the disappointment.

Hold on, Rob and Tom are twins?

Seriously though, I don't know why it would be a pain to organise a simple gettogether with friends. We all have jobs, but if it's become an obstacle between you and your friends&family, personally I would take a look at making some changes in my life.

Oh give me a break. I don't see why they couldn't implement Internet play as an option to make it easier for people to play together.

4 GBAs, 4 link cables, a TV and a Gamecube = a 'simple' get-together? What on earth would you call 'complicated' then?

I'm not even talking about whether or not anyone would like internet play. I'm talking about this kind of thing:

Haha oh god man, are you serious? I just linked to that comic. You sound just like that guy. "OH I NEED A GAMECUBE AND A TV TO PLAY A GAMECUBE GAME? FUCK THAT!" Just the fact that you even list something ridiculous like the console and TV needed makes you lose credibility.

And almost every serious gamer at the time had a GBA. Most of my friends had more than one, making up for the one person who didn't. As for link cables, you get one with the game, one friend already had one, and the other remaining two people just bought one for themselves since they're dirt cheap.


Let's face it, if you think something like this is "complicated" then I wonder how you even get by in life. FFCC was great, and this is all crybaby bullshit from people who have some sort of retarded grudge against the GC and find this game the perfect opportunity to have a good go at it. (disclaimer: may or may not apply to you the reader, etc.)

Temper, temper. Got a bit of a chip on your shoulder about this one, eh?

At the time of CC's release I had two GBA-owning mates, neither of whom owned a Gamecube. In those circumstances, a game which not only offered a unique and brilliantly crafted home-to-handheld control scheme but also came with bog-standard controller support would have been preferable.

But I forgot- I lack cwedibility. I'm not a sewwious gamer like what you is.

Well, just saying "it would've been nice" certainly stands in no comparison to the kind of unmerited shitstorms we've had about it in the past. Or shit-hurricanes, more like.



And yes, i r more serious gamers then you. :(

Ah well, let's kiss and make up then. I wasn't aware this was such a controversial topic.

*kiss with tongues*

Never on a first date, you beast!

Hope the CC single player gets more love this time round.

I agree the game was great and well worth the weekly get together I had with my friends to play it as it was meant to be played. To be honest though I don't think it was ever commercially viable to make games with such a high barrier to entry but it happened because of Nintendo's money and desire to cross-sell. To those who could enjoy it properly it will always be cherished but I can see why the masses grumbled. It would have better to not include a single player mode at all.

Yeah, singleplayer kinda sucked. Then again, so do most singleplayer modes in multiplayer based games.

However, painting the moogle was pretty much the greatest thing ever.



Tweakmonkey: while it was indeed not very commercially viable, personally I am thankful for the rare times when unique games do get made, despite that.
