A bit of a long-shot, but here goes.
Ok, Squaresoft recently released a game for Nintendo that's just great, called Crystal Chronicles. I doubt its' the sort of game enjoyed by those who frequent those boards, but just in case anyone has played it, I have a question.
HOW DO YOU GET THE PLOT STARTED??? It's driving me up the wall. The plot! I can't find it! Ever Final Fantasy game has a twisty, twervy plot. This one hasn't even got a plot, just a motivation.
You're supposed to find this Myrrh stuff to keep a crystal thing going, but you could - quite easily- keep that up indefinetly by continuing to explore the same first dungeons over and over. In fact, the only thing driving players on (it seems) to tougher and further afield levels is just the challenge! THERE IS NO STORY ARCH HERE. Usually even the worse game has a beginning, rising action, climax, then a little wrap-up scene. This is just indefinit dungeon-delving forever-and-ever-and-ever, at least to me.
However, people who I can't contact like magazine writers and internet personalities (well, I could contact them, but they wouldn't contact back) suggest that the game IS beatable, that there IS an objective sooner or later, but I can't find it.
Anyone know what the hell you're supposed to do?
