[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles|The third game in the series]], which was released on both [[DS]] and [[Wii]]. Unfortunately, the Wii version was a straight port of the DS version, which lead to half the screen being taken up by the map. Gameplay is very similar to ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
''Echoes of Time'' is more of a spiritual successor to the first game than ''Ring of Fates'', as you create the main character and their teammates, selecting the name, race
There is also an extensive multiplayer mode, which unlike ''Ring of Fates'', can be played over the Nintendo WFC in addition to the local wireless. You can play with friends or join a party of random strangers, both in your country and worldwide.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action RPG]]
* [[Aliens Steal Cattle]]
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The crystal fragments. [[Plot Coupon|Collect them all!]]
* [[The Archer]]: Selkies.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]:
* [[Boss Rush]]: An interesting variation where you can fight all the bosses of the ''previous'' game, and scaled up to be more of a challenge at that. A series of quests you can take play the trope straight, letting you challenge four, eight, or all of the normal bosses in the game in short order.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Lampshaded by Norsy, regarding Sherlotta's tail. She asks if you agree with her that a person having a tail is unusual. You get one answer- "Not really." Norsy protests, saying that [[No Fourth Wall|you only got one answer]] and that you should get 3. Then she asks you again if having a tail is unusual. You then get three answers... "Why?", "Nope
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The poor crystal activation device that Sherlotta threatens, hints at threatening, abuses, hurls at monsters, slams with excessive force into the ruins, abandons... admittedly, the device did try to kill the hero at first, which may be why [[Mama Bear|Sherlotta is none too gentle]].
{{quote|
* [[Catgirl]]: Sherlotta
* [[Charged Attack]]: Every class will get a charged attack for their weapons of choice, and at the high levels, an even stronger charged attack.
* [[Combination Attack]]: Magic fusion returns, but it's much simpler this time.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Artemicion, a moogle from the first game, makes an appearance.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Sherlotta has the personality when she starts traveling with the hero.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: The hero's town
* [[Double Jump]]: Selkies.
* [[Figure It Out Yourself]]: The villagers tell you that you have to find everything out on your own.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Plenty. For example...

Eryll:
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Larkeicus has a (thankfully) very slight German accent, changing his Ws to Vs.
* {{spoiler|[[Hoist
* [[Infinity Plus One Sword]]: Every class gets at least one (Lilties and Selkies get two since they have mastery in two types of weapons each). They require a significant amount of materials to craft (one item is a super rare drop from the secret boss you can challenge in the post game), and are actually weaker than most weapons until you level them up to Level 30, but when you do, they are the strongest weapons in the game, and have three empty customization slots, meaning they can be powered up even further. ▼
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Selkies use paddles, in some cases directly taken from a boat.
** Yukes technically only use Staves, but some Staves look like Bells or Books.
▲* [[Infinity
* [[Mama Bear]]: Sherlotta, over the hero.
* [[Multi Platform]]: Available for the Wii and DS. Both versions are the ''exact same game'', to the point where the Wii version uses a two screen interface. While it means the two versions can play with each other, it's probably easier to just stick with the DS version. The only actual difference is that the Wii version has higher-polycount models, but since you're still playing on a small screen, its hard to notice.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: A little over half of the outfits you can craft are based off of the many [[Job System|Jobs]] that appeared in previous ''Final Fantasy'' games, from the iconic Black and White Mages to the slightly more obscure Scholar and Magic Knight. One of the highest level Male outfits is an Onion Knight outfit.
** Some of them are [[Shout
** Sticking to Mythology within the ''Crystal Chronicles'' series of games, after beating the main game, you are granted access to
** One uncommon enemy is a ghost that mimics Meeth's abilities from the previous game.
** The best Clavat armor is
* [[New Game
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: One of the mercenaries for hire will only hire you if you meet his requirements. Said requirements are based on how many hours you've spent playing the game (he's got 100 hours). Another mercenary knows she's Lv.99, and mentions it. The requirement for hiring her is playing on Very Hard mode... which is not so coincidentally her favourite mode. Oh, and see [[But Thou Must!]] above. Also, your character knows about the World Map. Sherlotta is confused when you mention it while talking to her.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Larkeicus, c'mon.
* [[One
* [[Palette Swap]]: All the sprites (but the Clavat/Yuke girl) are from the previous game.
** Unless you're playing as a Yuke, if you talk to Archimedon, he'll change your character's hair color. You can also do this with the other characters you've created to join in your adventure.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Most of the adults in the village for the hero, but especially Sherlotta.
* [[Plot Coupon]]: There's quite a few of them.
**
* [[Punny Name]]: Veriaulde, the very old Yuke.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]:
* [[Sentient Phlebotinum]]: The crystal-finding artifact, not that she's very sinister once you've defeated her.
* [[Timed Mission]]: Multiplayer mode allows you to take on side missions for more experience and money. All of these have time limits and span multiple levels. The goal is to finish each one as quickly as possible.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Larkeicus realizes that the
