    As a singleplayer game it's flawed but functional. Combat is very basic, the story isn't great, and the game wants you to play the same dozen dungeons over and over. However, the art direction and music are phenomenal, and it's an exceedingly comfy fantasy game. The broken multiplayer is a missed opportunity, but the core game is actually a decent remaster.

    I am enjoying the game very much. I don't really understand the complains of most people, for me it's just complains which aren't really that important. f.ex the non local coop mode. I dont mind not having a local coop mode since i'm not going to friends either way to play it since covid19. But then again I haven't played the GC one, so who am I to judge?

    For those who haven't played the GC one, yes the game should have been remade, it's just an HD port.
    BUT I'm having extremely fun playing it. I haven't had any issues with online, got a lot of friends to play it with me because of the lite version. People are complaining but they are literally getting the game for free in a way and you have cross-play which is a big plus in my opinion.

    In short try the lite version and judge the game by yourself.    … Expand

    I love it. Never wanted to play online so all the co-op issues are a non issue to me. I've had a great time in the 15+ hours I've played solo.

    The loot cycle is super addictive and the multiplayer is very fun. Yes, it doesn’t compare to the original’s multiplayer but clearing dungeons as a team can be a ton of fun.

    It pains to criticise this remaster so harshly, because there was a great fondness for the original title that sprang to life if local multiplayer with friends was taken advantage of. Square Enix has shown little desire to give Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles the makeover it deserved, however, and its many dated issues only become more apparent next to the removal of local multiplayer and region-locked online play. There is still a case for chancing it with friends that enjoy dungeon crawlers and can deal with the limitations, but beware of the strange control schemes and tedious gameplay.

    It’s too bad the journey can feel so aimless and disjointed at times with the mixed storytelling and the cumbersome mechanics that stick each component of gameplay together. It can be occasionally exhausting to navigate through the menus, swapping in different spells and items constantly as you beat on your foe for a good 30 minutes. I really wish Square Enix would give it the fair shake it deserves with modern conveniences, instead of dredging up dated gameplay mechanics that overshadow a wonderful, mystical little world. Still, getting to play a family-friendly tale with my daughter does make up for a lot of this, and if you can get some friends together, it could be the same for you.

    It’s a shame many quality-of-life improvements that could have been made to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles aren’t present in this Remastered Edition.
