We were growing tired of seeing the same old screenshots over and over for the upcoming Wii and DS game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. You couldn't really tell what was going on in any of them, let alone see how the game is played.
While it isn't much, we finally have a game play video, this one a boss battle. Watch as four players cooperate to beat down a helpless boss. I mean, despite the menacing pre-battle fanfare, this boss only gets a couple of hits in. It isn't long until the players take him down and start beating the poor boss senseless. One dumbass is even casting a spell that the boss resists...and then does it again. Way to be a team player.
What do you think about the presentation of this game on the Wii? Is this side-by-side window thing working for you? Are you picking this up next month?

At first I was like "oh another crappy looking Wii game". Then I thought it was a good looking DS game. Now it's both.. I'm confuddled. They could have at least put a pretty background for the Wii. Or is that asking too much of the little white box?
