Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates


I really loved this game - not exactly sure why.
It was just challenging enough to be fun but not frustrating. I liked the story. I like the cute characters.
It's an action battle scheme - no turn based battles. Hack and slash and use magicite to cast spells and/or L/R button to use tribal abilities.
Also a nice mix of platforming and puzzle solving along with the slashing.
And even crafting - finding ingredients dropped from enemies and then making them at shops.

This sucked me in enough to start a new playthrough, since there was lots of new items to make and buy and equip on the new playthrough. Even with no other added content, this seemed to be enough.
