I bought Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (GCN) and Wild Arms 4 (PS2) for $31.
After playing FFCC for awhile, I can see why all the "ninnies" (as the Sony/Microsoft fanboys refer to Nintendo fanboys as) ***** and scream at this game. It's the exact opposite of the main line of playstation Final Fantasies: it lacks long, cinematic cutscenes or an overly ambitious plotline, and focuses mainly on gameplay, as you spend the majority trekking dungeons. That doesn't make it a bad game at all - quite the opposite. It's just a shame that the "ninnies" are so desperate for FF rehashes/ports that they can't recognize a good thing when they get one. With some more polish and less retrictions, FFCC could grow to be better than its main line brethrens in the gameplay department. I only hoep that the DS and Wii sequels are a little more user-friendly when ti comes to multiplayer, because at the moment, it's nearly impossible for some peopel to get a multiplayer game of FFCC going.
As for Wild Arms 4, I had planned on buying Alter Code F first (which I couldn't find in the store), but couldn't turn up a bargain on WA4. I didn't get to play it today as time flew by, and maybe I'll wait until I get and beat ACF to try WA4, but I doubt I can resist the temptation...
