FFCC: My Life as a Darklord E3 trailer; at least the word 'Darklord' is cool
Joseph Leray \| 7:28 PM on 06.15.2009	5 comments

I would've written this on the front page, but I realized (too late) that the trailer is from E3, and therefore two weeks old. But, I felt the urge to write about it, so I slung it up on my vox.

At GDC earlier this year, to absolutely no fanfare, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. During E3, they released a trailer, to equally little fanfare, even though the WiiWare title will be out later this month. It's the latest in the Crystal Chronicles series,

In a market flooded with knockoff tower defense games and Final Fantasy spin-offs with ridiculously long titles, it's hard to care about a game that combines both. Especially when the entire gimmick (you're evil instead of good) was already fleshed out by games like Codemasters' Overlord.

Nevertheless, I really like the character designs, even if the whole I'm-an-evil-harlequin-bitch vibe is neutered by all the kawaii.

Hey, you're the guy from the front page :D

Haha, thanks for the post Joe. I think this looks better than the previous game.

I'll save my money for Little King's Story instead. :)

I dunno. I think it looks fun, and a little more involved than My Life as a King.

Looks like life as a darklord could prove to be a sweet miasma.

Interesting take on the "tower defense" idea. Rather than setting up individuals towers that help you defend... stuff, it's a tower that you are actually defending.
