D_prOdigy Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Some new snippets of info: - new character revealed: Keiss- Keiss is a male Selkie - Keiss guards the Alexis II air ship - Keiss and Layle are partners, with the partnership being story-motivated. You cannot form parties in the game - another female Selkie is yet to be revealed, and she may be romantically involved with Layle - Playable Events: allows for player interaction during ‘event’ scenes, includes pointing or Wiimote waggling, somewhat like QTEs, some Playable Events must be cleared to progress - Playable Event example: shoot down monsters as Layle falls through the sky - Demon Reaction system: enemies have different patterns and will react differently to how you approach them, may leave you alone if you don’t bother them
darksnowman Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Good to hear some info about the Selkie's. I like that class.
Retro_Link Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ooh I like the look of Keiss! Reminds me of Ren from Shenmue for some reason; a kind of cool looking side kick!
ShadowV7 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah it does slightly with the bandana. I miss Shenmue
Retro_Link Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah it does slightly with the bandana. I miss Shenmue Yeh! So... Good...
Retro_Link Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Frickin Awesome!! Love the idea of the 'water' that surrounds the flying ship! Guess that then leads in to the interactive cutscene they mentioned where you have to shoot enemies away as he flies/falls.
ShadowV7 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 That was pretty cool. Defininetly want to see more footage like that again over the website snippets.
Dante Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 IGN: There's no denying it! The silence is officially over for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. Famitsu managed to get yet another update on the game in its latest issue, complete with commentary from producer Akitoshi Kawazu and director Toshiyuki Itahan. The major point of note in this update is the first info on a new character, a Selkie male named Keiss. Having earned the trust of army leaders, Keiss takes up a job guarding the Alexis II air ship, a symbol of peace. Keiss and main character Layle are work partners. They're partnership is just part of the story, though. You don't actually form parties in Crystal Bearers, so you don't directly control Keiss. Outside of the Keiss and the characters introduced in the original unveiling of the game a couple of weeks back, we can apparently look forward to one additional primary character, a female Selkie who may have the hots for Layle. In addition to the new character, the magazine introduces a couple of new gameplay systems: Playable Events and Demon Reaction. Playable events allow you to interact with the game during event scenes, shaking the Wiimote or pointing at particular areas of the screen. Some of these scenes have to be successfully cleared in order to progress, but in general the story will proceed regardless of your success. One example of a Playable Event has Layle falling through the sky. Demons fall towards him, and you have to aim the Wiimote to shoot them. The Demon Reaction system is something that we've already seen in the teaser video clips at the teaser site. The demons of the Crystal Bearers world have their own AI and movement patterns. If you let them be, they'll interact amongst themselves. The enemies react to one-another, and to Layle's attacks, in various ways, with Kawazu noting that the game includes a considerable number of patterns. Crystal Bearers is still without a final release date, but it's certainly reassuring to see it get so much coverage of late. The wait to play will hopefully not be too long.
Shino Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Freaking love it! The "water" effect around the ship looks awesome and I really like the theme music.
The-chosen-one Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 this looks to good to be true i want i want i want!! i am more hypes about this game then i was with any other game!
darksnowman Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 The water effect looks really nice. So want this game.
killer kirby Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 LIKE...LIKE FUCKING LIKE!!!! Plus the main character Layle is a main character that the final fantasy series has been dying for, a character who is overconfidant in his power, not a winey teenager prick that wants to be some emo through like half the game and then the other half acting like he needs to save the world no matter what because of one little fucking event. Yeah got carried away but GOOD, just shows that I was getting sick of all the main characters from most JRPG's out there.
ShadowV7 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah, he's different from the generic JRPG main characters, one of the reasons why i'm looking forward to this
darksnowman Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 There's a "what we know so far" type article over on Siliconera. Well worth a read! I still can't believe the Lilties have wiped out the Yukes (well except for atleast one of them, lol). The Lilties always seemed so fun loving and peaceful whereas the Yukes always kinda freaked me out and I've never really trusted them.
