Quick Look: Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers

First quick look of THE FUTURE!

This should be very exciting. First Quick Look of the Future!

YESSSS! Quick look addiction sated.

First quick look of 2010!
 
I hoped it would be Darksiders or maybe Mass Effect 2 by some miracle

finally a new quick look

The future is scary. Hold me.

I have seen the future's quick looks. They load so quickly!
 
It also reminds me of why I hate streaming. :(

The dry spell has ended!

" finally a new quick look "

FUCK THAT GUN!

The girls voice is totally Rises voice

Heh, whenever I hear the paparazzi I think about Rise from Persona 4 :/
As confusing as every FF game is at the start of a game :p

Haven't even watched the QL but I loved the Twilight reference on the home page. (I did not actually enjoy Twilight just the reference to vampires glittering/sparkling in the sun in that series)

Its a shame that the game after that section becomes extremely lacking. Disappointment of the year

Great late title card.

The video breaks in the middle of the ferret chase.
 
EDIT: Nevermind, no it doesn't. But it won't let me delete this post. The site is all kinds of busted right now. Get the top men on it!

Yeah, heard this is really disappointing. Starts out with some promising mechanics, but really starts to drag after that.

CHOCOBOS! 
Or is it CHOCOBOES!?

Wait, what the fuck? That brunette with a bandana is a guy?

Aha!  Is this our chance?

It looked good, and had some nice set pieces, but it looked like it had some control issues. And it said Crystal bearer   A whoooooool lot. Someone should count that.

Aha!  Is this our chance?

gameplay actually looks pretty fun.
 
"looks 18 to me dude"

 gameplay actually looks pretty fun.
 
"looks 18 to me dude"

More girly-men with feathered hair in dopey costumes...
 
Yep, it's a FF game alright.

Whoa, Rise is in this game!!

HAVE YOU EVER GESTICULATED IN A VIDEO GAME BEFORE????
 
I loved that.
 
Also caught Jeff's Carmen Sandiego reference.

What the, did they change the video player? It's all laggy and I can't leave the player paused to load up the whole video.

I might play this.

Looks pretty alright. Definitely not much in common with other Crystal Chronicles games or any other Final Fantasy games for that matter.

Where is the point where I get a gun? .... THAT HE THROWS AWAY!
 
Oh Ryan!  These are most-definitely better than previews and such because it is more like you are a couple of buds I am sitting on the couch with and starting up a game during that crucial period where I either decide whether I am going to enjoy the game or not.

" Whoa, Rise is in this game!! "

Its the first non-emo/annoying brat maincharacter in an FF for a long time, was a nice change actually liking the protagonist.
 
The long corridors are there to hide the loading times as there are none, think Mass Effect elevators.

Crystal Bears?

humm watchin teh Darksiders quicklook when the video crapped out and now it's gone ;/.
 
I'll watch this instead!

Yeah they did, something flash based just like Youtube. It ran extremely poor for me as well and the quality on the medium settings appeared to be quite worse as medium before they changed it. I suppose that they are still ironing out the kinks.  "

Man, what is up with the Japanese and upskirt shots?

2010 really is the future, I can now skip forward to any part of a video without having to freaking wait for it to load!!!!!!!!! It is the future!!!!!!!! I remember the time when, accidentally pushing the back space or a link would be the end of times but now it's the future!!!!!

Final Fantasy character design is about trying to come up with something so ridiculous that no one would ever cosplay it, just to see if someone tries anyway.

the dialog is absolute shonen shit

Looks as bad as every other non tactics ff game.

Looks okay, but the Crystal Chronicles games have never been as interesting to me as the mainstream Final Fantasy games.  It just kinda seems like a bone they throw Nintendo to keep them off their back.  "You wanted Final Fantasy back on the Nintendo?  Here you go, now leave us alone" 
 
Character design and soundtrack seem good enough at least.  I almost feel like buying it to offset the surprising amount of FF hate I see around here.  

I actually really like the look of this game... I might get it.

Man, this steaming business is not working!
