Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time

WIP Guide, Currently Game Start till after Aqueducts 1

Actualizado 9 months ago por Mian_K

New Guide I work on (Keeping this on for now due to it having more detailed information then this guide has at this point): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pk8H9Y_JkTwUmXl4PUSvLL_cNqvA3bGm7OiRRQgZJVg/edit#heading=h.hdw8uhr9cwb

Techniques

Walk Attack Cancels (WAC): Walking after a melee attack reduces the time before another melee attack. Only used in early game.
Charge Attack Cancels (CAC): Hold the Attack button just a bit before releasing. Release once you see the white Aura around your weapon.
Charge Walk (CW): Slightly faster walking speed. Faster for medium to longer distances.
Ignore Level Entry Charge: You can hold Attack exiting a level to start a charge immediately without reentering the level. Useful for earlier [CW]. Easier on DS compared to Wii.
Stack Jumps (SJ): Stack Characters, then jump starting with the lowest one. More effective with Selkies as they can double jump. If you move while [SJ], stop before character change or you run off.
Dungeon Exit (Exit): While in a dungeon, [Start > Door (Bottem Center) > Lower Option], will exit you to the World Map or the Town you entered the dungeon through.

Notes

Pick up everything you can without losing time, espacially direct Gil.
Count the amount of Boss Rings you get, they are 500Gil each.
If you struggle with a jump, [Start > Bag (Bottom Left) > Money (Bottom Right) > Discard] gives you a small platform. Can spam for a staircase.

Run Start

Character Creation

Selkie. Shorter Names are a few frames faster, but doesn't matter to much.
A female Selkie will have a different character image then a male one we get as part of the run, so if you rely on visuals for distinction, chose female.

Village

1 Cutscene Skip
Spam away Text
Try to double jump in a way that you don't get landing stuns.
Leave through the top right Exit.

Forest

Room 1

1 Textbox, Wait, 1 Textbox, Decline on touchsceen (lower option)
Fire + 2 Melee on Squirrel at start
Put in Keystone
Fire + Melees to kill the Quirrel + Bat before continuing.

Room 2

Go straight to the end
Fight the Moblins using Fire + Melee, level up after first kill.
Switch to Ice before continuing

Boss

1 Cutscene Skip
Attack the boss a few times to get off the helmet.
Head is the weekpoint. Try to stay on the armor around his head, using [WAC] is hard as it's easy to fall off or walk onto the head.
Use Ice to stop the Boss from throwing you off. The boss has 2 attacks that throw you off, "Arm Spin" and "Energy Blast from Head"
