"Are nintendo getting the 6 new final fantastys?"

Well are they!

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was announced days ago for Gamecube and GBA and will use the link cable. Release date expected for December 2002 in Japan.

On top of that GBA will also be getting a Secret of Mana sequel, Final Fantasy Tactics and some other game.

Time some of you found a gamecube news site. There are loads around. This isn't the nets only website.

Exclusive -
When a game is released on a certain console before other consoles.

Exclusive to PS2 - Comes out first on the PS2.

Although, exclusive can pretty much mean anything nowadays, that is the proper meaning.

Magazines with 'exclusive' reviews are not the single magazine to review that game, but they think they're the first.

i've just got too many other games to play...and on my US PS1 all my games are relatively long RPGs like Chrono Cross (which rox) and Parasite Eve 1 (which is short but rox and is a heck of a lot better than PE2) -don't know why they turned PE2 into a resident evil clone with it's dodgy control system!

Look, i think i maybe able to answer this!
A FF is coming on to the GBA, and it is either going to be the same as the one comnig out for the GC and you can use the link cable ot swap your data and play it on the road, or they may be different and you can trade items, but there is a game for each console and the link up will be used, i think that the GC game is going to be based on the cartoon serise but that is arumor, prob aint true!

Yeah I know. Instead of just the battles being Turn based, as in normal FF games, the whole game is played Turn Based, movement included. Like I said, Vandal Hearts is just like it.

I can't believe you have that game and haven't really played it...

i have FF tactics for my US PS1...haven't really played it though...the fighting system is very different to the usual FF style that we're used to though

And the cube version will, it seems, be fundamentally the same as the (confirmed) gba version, so you can copy data from one to the other then resume your game on either machine.

The GBA Advance?

Errr, just GBA actually.

I heard something about FF Tactics appearing on the GBA advance which would be great - like Vandal Hearts on the PSX (for those that played that LEGEND of a game).

I hope there is more stuff though - Squaresoft owe Ninty.

Gamecube will get a Final Fantasy game, it may be part of the main series if so then it WILL NOT be exclusive, yet more likely we'll see a spin off FF game that will be making the Gamecube worthy to get for Final Fantasy fans who can afford two consoles.
