Paired equipment can allow the game's characters to take on the look of the classic Final Fantasy jobs such as Dragoon, White Mage, and Red Mage, along with unique jobs like Setzer's Gambler. As players explore dungeons and defeat enemies, items will drop which are then used in recipes to create new weapons and armor. The true enjoyment of Echoes of Time is going to come from loot gathering. The plot of the story may not be the most inventive ever and character development may be quite low, but the manner in which the story is told works quite well as a means of progressing the game. The story focuses on temporal mechanics and how the crystals are used to both save and destroy the world.

This unit will act as the main storyline character even though other units can be created or recruited. The game starts with the character creation process in which players select one of the four typical Crystal Chronicles races: Clavat, Yuke, Selkie, or Lilty. Most people won't even care what's going on, but will merely progress the story to open new areas and garner improved equipment. Not to say that the plot itself is bad, but it's just such a minor focus of the overall package that it feels tacked on. The one area where Echoes of Time doesn't really hold up well is the story. The result is a game light on story and heavy on looting. Echoes of Time takes the best parts of Ring of Fates and focuses on improving those while doing little else. In reality, it is what Ring of Fates should have been: a loot-collecting RPG with a strong focus on multiplayer and the implementation to make it happen. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time - Staff ReviewĪt first glance, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time seems like a cheap cash-in on the development of the prior DS title, Ring of Fates.
