This Mimic feature is described as: "By collecting stamps, visiting Moogle Houses or completing difficult dungeons, you’ll get Memory Crystals which you can use to change your characters’ appearance to that of various characters you’ll meet on your adventure. If you want to add a bit more pizazz to your party, now you can!"
In our review of the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, we said "The bottom line is that Crystal Chronicles is a fun multiplayer game if you own enough GBAs. There are some problems, more than I'd like to see from Square, but overall it's a fun experience. The single player game, on the other hand, isn't nearly as fun."
