Crystal Bearers also has a ballroom dancing minigame

Famitsu revealed two "event" minigames in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. We knew about the vaguely embarrassing pool float minigame, and we've actually seen hints of the other minigame in the trailer: ballroom dancing. This seems to take place in the scene in which Layle steals some guy's tuxedo to sneak into an event, and involves rotating the Wiimote and Nunchuk to simulate dancing movements.

In the E3 demo, the game was full of diverting events like this. A rail shooter segment opened the game, followed by an airship piloting segment. The main enemy-tossing game will be broken up by events like this one, which finally fulfills the promise of Final Fantasy VIII's most famous scene.

Confirmed: Layle is the coolest Final Fantasy character.

I like what i'm seeing, between this and the bikini-girl thing. It's like they're trying to make people re-live the awkwardness of their high-school years.

Anyone remember the ballroom dancing mini-game in Sly 2: Band of Thieves? It was pretty awesome: perfect fit for the game's varied gameplay.

YES! I remember that minigame! I loved the Sly Cooper series. They were so good at making the gameplay diverse and epic-ly cinematic.

Can you throw feces at them?

I hope they borrow the track from FF8.

God I hope most of these are optional.
