Square Enix has recently taken the elements of the Final Fantasy series and applied them to a new Facebook game: Knights of the Crystals.

This game has the player completing quests to earn action points, leveling up along the way. Players can earn money from these quests as well, which can be spent on purchasing equipment. The game also features a class system, complete with magic and special moves, and boss battles, where you can gather your friends and/or NPC friend-alternatives to take on your typical boss. There's also an option to fight against other humans. Yay social interaction!

The company has released a second Facebook game as well, called Chocobo Crystal Tower. This application appears to be considerably more light-hearted than the first one, consisting of breeding and training chocobos for battle.

I usually avoid Facebook applications as a general principle (simply because I end up wasting enough time on the internet the way it is), but I'm sure that one or both of these will receive a bit of attention from a half-awake DP during a weeknight/early morning in the near future.

Trying out the Knights one. I like the art style. The rest of it is pretty meh so far.

If it's any consolation, it's still in beta...

Annoying thing about the Knights one is that it's hard to get a decent amount of money in it because everytime you log off the game and come back later, you've lost all your money from people attacking you while you were gone.

Edit: Turns out you can store your money away in your chest. Just found that out now.

I just started playing it. It's cute.
I like how you have a limited number of action points, and they only refill if you stop playing for a while (or level up). Reminds me of the Shutdown PP in TWEWY.
