'''''Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles''''', Square's first game for a Nintendo console since the days of the SNES, takes the lush fantasy world from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise and adds in hack-and-slash-style four-player action. The game does away with traditional experience points and instead focuses on action-oriented combat with a unique co-op slant. Up to three friends can join in on the quest, by using Game Boy Advance units connected to the GameCube as controllers. While all the main action takes place on the screen, the GBAs enable the players to access menus, organize their spell spheres, and perform upgrades without slowing down the action. The initial release of this game included a GBA Cable to allow players instant access to the game.

{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== VBA Support ===
VBA connectivity many be broken since {{revision|5.0-5018}}.
 
=== Goblin Wall ===
As of {{revision|5.0-540}}, the Goblin Wall level is impossible to clear. After defeating the Goblin King and responding to the subsequent letter received via Mogmail, the screen goes black and audio seems to stutter. Earlier versions of Dolphin can progress past this point, but save files will have the wrong header and require hex editing to be usable in current revisions. Refer {{issue|9915}} / {{issue|7098}}.
