Phil writes, “I have fond memories of breaking out my indigo Nintendo GameCube, putting my copy of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles into the system’s disc tray, hooking up four Game Boy Advances via link cables to my GameCube, and playing the game how it was meant to be played–with four players on one TV screen. Oh, wait a minute–no, I don’t! Next to nobody I knew or had heard of had four friends with each of their own Game Boy Advances, with link cables, who also gave a Chocobo’s feather about Final Fantasy, much less a spin-off. But, that’s what Nintendo and Square Enix figured with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in 2004.
Now, sixteen years later and some change, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is back, but no longer is the multiplayer anywhere near as inaccessible as it was on the GameCube. With online play and a plethora of new features, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition brings the oft overlooked spin-off in the Final Fantasy series to more platforms and more people.”
