Two thousand years prior to the game's events, a great civilization harnessed advanced technology using the power of Crystals, but a magical catastrophe in their future triggered the vanishing of crystals. It chronologically takes place during the "Golden Age" between the events of Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates and original Crystal Chronicles. Synopsis Setting and charactersĮchoes of Time takes place on the same unnamed world as other entries in the Crystal Chronicles series, inhabited by four tribes the Clavats, Lilties, Yukes and Selkies. Both the Nintendo DS and Wii versions can link up via wireless, where four players can play together, online or offline. Besides physical attacks, there are seven spell types which can be combined and are represented by symbols on the screen: Blizzard, Cure, Clear, Fire, Rise and Thunder. The weapons can also level up, and materials can be combined to create new ones. When a certain level is reached, a new ability will be unlocked. The players can visit towns to receive quests, recruit allies or to buy and craft armor or weapons. The real-time combat system requires the player to be close to the enemies rather than select items, which makes it different from the main entries of the Final Fantasy series. Their statements will change along with the plot progression. All the non-player characters (some voice-acted) exist in two separate locations, one of them being reserved for guilds and shops. Certain parts of the game consist of platforming in isometric view. Each dungeon is filled with monsters that need to be defeated and puzzles to solve (pushing blocks, activating switches, etc.) in order to progress. Echoes of Time is a hack and slash action role-playing game, that allows the players to create their own character by choosing one of the tribes: Clavats (swords), Yukes (magic), Selkies (jumping) and Lilties (spears).
