The new remastered edition of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles misses some of what made the original special, but can still be emotionally entrancing. Read hotelbones' review.

One of my biggest frustrations over the years with RPGs has been their inability to break from design cliches. The blockbuster RPGs of Elder Scrolls, Persona,and Square Enix’s own Final Fantasy itself have created a fence, built on the sterilization of their forebears, that has left other RPG developers to follow their design trends in wake of their success. For this we end up with politics that have been defanged for the sake of morality systems that are conservative or lacking nuance.

As you create characters from the four races unique to the Crystal Chronicles series, all of them also generate families and occupations that exist outside of the journey. Over the course of travel these same family members will send your character letters, and give you gifts when you return home. After retrieving myrrh from a mushroom forest, my liltie Salmon received a letter from her sister telling her that mom and dad were arguing about who looks like a cow.

Over the years that went by in my time playing I would receive letters from a scientist I met in a small little town. He wanted to try and fix the miasma that continued to put communities in harm’s way. I was always excited to see a letter with his name, De Nam, after I had completed an area. Discouraged at first I would reply telling him that he should continue, in hopes of not letting his cynicism get the best of him.

Honestly I find it disappointing that I have to even fight through these spaces at all, because I would much rather just walk through them. The game already excels with its reliance on intimate, mundane stories. So it’s disappointing that I still have to return to something trite as combat sequences. This conflict between moody mundanes and looty dungeons is emphasized more so within this remake.
