Update: January 29, 2009
«©NCSX» The latest Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles game is a cross-platform title which is equally the same on the Nintendo DS and the Wii. Square accomplishes the handheld-to-console parity with the Pollux Engine which makes it easy to release the same game simultaneously on two platforms. That means the underlying code, the graphics, the music, and the gameplay are identical. By using the Wi-Fi communications mode, NDS players can adventure together with Wii players like one big happy family. At the outset of the game, players choose a character class from four races - Clavats, Yukes, Lilties, and Selkies - and the sex of the protagonist. The adventure starts in a quaint little town filled with folksy citizens but soon expands into the dangerous environs of the world outside.

Japanese NDS games may be played on North American and European NDS handhelds. There is no region-coding on Nintendo DS game cards.
NCS Game Notes & Spoilers
» After exiting town, players will get a short tutorial on how to fight monsters from a Moogle. Later, the first boss encountered on a grassy field looks imposing but he's very easy to defeat. In addition to being slow, the boss performs a pile-driver move with either of its arms where it punches down on the ground and then holds the attack for a few seconds. That's your cue to attack its torso for 25 HP worth of damage instead of the 5HP if you attack its arms. The boss' life gauge is listed on the top of the screen. In the event that the boss is too tough for your hacking skills, there are three treasure chests which ring the area which contain elixirs that restore health.» After defeating the boss, a gate opens up to the upper left where the mighty Crystal is located. A girl named Charlotta greets the player and relays a little information about the Crystal. There's nothing else to do in this area so head to the left and go back home. Once inside the village, a young girl named Eryll drops to her knees and faints. She's suffering from an affliction related to the Crystal and the protagonist is charged with wandering out into the world to find a cure. That's your cue to head towards the southeast which leads out into the open expanse of the world. This document is ©NCSX 2009. All rights reserved.
