Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

urgh.
I'm here at work, trying to focus on the task at hand. And all I can think of is where to put my guild hall, when I'm going to start building houses near the White Mage Shrine, and What type of parties I'll have when I earn a Tavern. 
Why is building a house fun!? Why don't I want to shoot things!?!! Let me tell you, those in doubt, that Final Fantasy: "ZOMGACRONYM" for WiiWare is a damn fine game, without the DLC. All that DLC stuff is optional, and frankly, I can see myself enjoying this game in a complete manner without it. From little things like being able to drop in on the families of your individual adventurers, to watching the emerging personalities of your stat-heroes (Artha's a hardcore loot whore, while Gawain gets bitchslapped on almost every outing these days) take shape. Not to mention city management. Once I get the ability to demolish and rearrange my town, I've got grand schemes for class specific ghettos and a one stop, efficient "Hero Quarter" for all my adventurers needs. Let alone the stories I'll get to tell myself about the parties I send out, once I unlock that. I hate to wall of text geek out most days, but I just have to say: FFCC:MLAAK is scratching that serious city building/personnel management itch that I talked about a few articles ago. ugh. Is it quittin' time yet?

Wow. That's a wonderful thought: They could franchise "My Life as a King" . . .
HA! That could work so well!
- Ivalice: MLAAK - add a political/militaristic aspect to it, mix in the zodiac aspects, develop rival explorer guilds as well as military forces
- FF7: MLAAK - Expand the concept to an uberscale, and make it about the rebuilding of Midgar, or the colonization of Yuffie's home continent
- FF6: MLAAK - Cyan the King. Supernatural ghost residents. Cameos by other heroes rebuilding their kingdoms. Get a Doom Train station as a high level building
mmmm . . .
But yeah, the game could totally work on the portable level. :)
enh, not quite "no fighting". What you don't get in SimCity is the adventurer aspect of the game, which happens to be linked into what you build. Think Actraiser, but you don't control or see the action of the levels.
Which sounds lame. :) But you do get to control some key things, around the action,
- your adventurer's gear depends on how much you invest in research. You can't make them buy better gear, or handle their equipment, but you can make the good gear available to them.
- every adventurer, who at the moment is also a resident of the town, starts as a warrior, but you can put up a bulletin to recruit interested adventurers into a different class
- You have some degree of interaction, I think, with the make up of parties that go out on adventures. This depends on building a structure to open up the options
- You get ludicrously detailed, but easy to skim, reports on the action that you don't see. The literally show you each turn your character took against any given enemy, if they got poisoned, if they missed their attack and if they stopped to eat lunch.
- When your characters do well, you can reward them with padded stats in teh form of "medals"
Also, the fact that you can walk around and interact with your people on an intimate level (You can learn, for instance, that Christina doesn't think highly of her adventurer daughter). Taken just as a SimCity: FF, its does alot of unique things that expand on city building gameplay in a clean, but not over casualized way
