Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

Description

The world is enveloped in a poisonous vapor. Anyone who comes into contact with it must die. But humans have learned to develop a technology that would help them to protect themselves from the deadly vapor. The light of Crystals shines in small villages and in large towns. But those protective Crystals have to be refilled every year with the purifying Mana Water, otherwise their energy will extinguish. Every year, villages send four youths to retrieve the Mana Water that is hidden deep in dungeons and dangerous caves.

Sounds like the story of the first "Final Fantasy"? The plot of this first Final Fantasy game for a Nintendo console since Final Fantasy VI goes back to the roots of the series, but the gameplay has changed a lot. "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles" is an action, Zelda-style RPG. At the beginning of the game, you choose one of the four available character classes: magic-using Yulks, thief-like Selkies, gentle-natured Clavattes, and cute little Lilties. You can play the game with your chosen character in single-player mode, but multiplayer bears a greater significance. Using the GBA-GC connection link, you can play the game with three other people, controlling four different characters.

Thankfully, those problems have since been solved ...
