Crystal Conquest unveiled as Square’s next social effort

Square Enix has announced Crystal Conquest as its next social title following a tease last week. It’s due out this summer on Yahoo! Games in Japan, but no other word than that. There’s details on how to sign up for the closed alpha trial here.

Crystal Conquest Is A Massively Multiplayer Strategy Game… With Summon Monsters

​
Square Enix revealed their "secret title" and it’s another game browser game designed for Yahoo! Japan. Crystal Conquest is a massively multiplayer strategy game where your goal is to steal the other team’s crystal. Fights can grow as large as 20 on 20 bouts with each character running towards the middle of the screen. Players can cooperate with each other and command summon monsters in real time.​

Crystal Conquest is slated for release this summer, but Square Enix will hold an alpha test before the game launches. 10,000 applicants will be able to play Crystal Conquest starting on April 10.

​

Like other browser games, Crystal Conquest is free to play and will be monetized through item sales.

So they are making yet another attempt at an MMO FF game... great... lets see how bad this one turns out...
 
But unlike 11, and 14 this one will be free to play. But to get anything worthwhile you must shop from their online store.
 
what the, sooo the game everybody throught was tactics 2 was a free to play mmo........ come on square really o_O
 
so in the imminent future they have a card based free rpg & this strategy rpg coming out. Do people even make RPGs for ps3/xbox-360 anymore?
 
Ugh, why Square Enix, why? Don't you learn from your mistakes? The sprites/graphics look nice, though. It can't be good though, especially since its a web browser and on Yahoo....
 
Hahaha this actually looks interesting! I had tons of fun with certain browser strategy games and this even has real time elements. Hmmm I should make time to try it out when it releases in english.
 
Oh SE. :facepaw:

FF XIV should of told you that you're not that type of company that does online games well. Learn from your mistakes instead of just repeating them over and over again.


 
Most of our predictions were right. Not very interested, at all. Especially if it looks Japan-only as of now.
 
[03/04] Square Enix's Crystal Conquest -- Screens and Gameplay Details​

4Gamer has posted higher resolution pics of Square Enix's Flash-based action game Crystal Conquest. Take a look below, and read on further for a summary of the site's impressions from an early version that they were able to sample.

Here are some details from the site's report on the game.

-Crystal Conquest is a side scrolling action game where you move your character between two planes of play.
-All controls are handled with the mouse.
-Each battle field is split into at least six areas. You're free to move between these.
-A map in the upper right of the screen shows your allies and enemies.
-The game has four classes: Warrior, Priest, Sorcerer and Scout.
-Attractions on the battle field include your army's home base and a special "Home Point" fort where you return if defeated.
-Facilities you and the enemy can place on the battle field include Arrow Tower, Crystals and Summon Facilities. You can destroy your opponent's facilities.
-The rules of the game are simple: destroy your enemy's home base in a given time limit. After a certain amount of time, the game tallies enemies killed and damage done to the enemy base and determines the winner.
-Your character's HP can be recovered by making contact with your home base or the home point forts along the map, as long as those facilities are not currently under attack. You can also have a priest in your party heal you.
-Classic Square Enix summons will appear in the game. To cast a summon, you'll need a Summon Egg, which is shared between your team, and 100 "Shards." Summons in the beta version that 4Gamer played included Odin, Titan and Diablos.

-___- this looks absolutely horrible. Why waste the time with this garbage.

I really hope social gaming goes absolutely nowhere in a couple years.

One thing I really dont like that SE does now though is throw the "Crystal" themes into everything. It used to be just Final Fantasy games, now it's essentially every little spin off they do has some type of story revolving around cystals. Even Bravely Default does it.
