Description
The first time I beat this game, I cried. Seriously, I hated the ending that much. It's not like DTL2 with its forced sad moment; that was bad but not as bad as having your favorite character first written out of character (Adventures described her as having a "kind nature" but Command rewrote her to be "too stubborn for her own good"), then think you've set everything to normal by bringing her back to Star Fox, only to have her run out with Star Wolf in the ending... what the heck? Then that Star Wolf ending? I mean, I believe in Krystal being a member of Star Fox so having her work with them was bad enough, but then the ending goes down the toilet for her afterwards? (Can a world where everyone hates Krystal even logically exist? lol) At least that ending reassured me that Krystal's not meant to be a part of Star Wolf; only with Star Fox does she have a happy ending (sometimes).And yes, Zila, there are good endings: 1 and 2. 3 and 4 depressed me to tears, 5 was okay, 6 was mostly a tie-in to 1, and 7, 8, and 9 were depressing as well but not as bad for me where it was things going wrong for the other Star Fox members, not Krystal.
Enough of my ranting? Well, tomorrow kicks off my new Monday, Wednesday, Friday release schedule (see my journal for details), so come back for Zila: Lord of the Rings! (free internet cookies to anyone who can come up with a good title for that concept; I couldn't)

That's not even half of the problem with Krystal/Kursed, or Star Fox Command in general!
I mean Fox "fires" Krystal solely because he doesn't want her to get hurt? Look of course he cares about his fellow comrades, but yet it's hypocritical because he doesn't do the same with the other Team Star Fox Members who are also put in just as much danger by participating in the Arwing battles, and he's known them for longer than Krystal. Plus, joining Team Star Fox was her decision and she obviously knew what she was going into when she joined in the first place, and Assault established that Fox was confident of Krystal's capability as a member of the Cornerian military! Him just deciding to make her leave because he doesn't want her put in danger is so out of place!
The rest of the game really seems to mistreat Krystal so much, after the way they were in Assault. Though Adventure kinda made Crystal's appearances seriously limited, at least they didn't ruin her character like Command did!
And Krystal is not the only character ruined by Command. I hate what it did with Falco, Pigma, and Dash too, in each of the story paths! This is why it's the worst Star Fox game by far!

The only ending I will come anywhere close to acknowledging as canon is #2 Where Fox and Krystal marry and have Marcus.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The only endings that I like are 1 and 5. Plus, in ending #4, I literally don't want Krystal to leave the Lylat System.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, #4 was depressing

In the 3rd picture Wolf and Krystal make out

SPOILER there is one where Fox settles down with Krystal and has a son named Marcus

well, i only have three endings on mine, guess i have a lot of freaking work to search for that one, and with my luck i will most likely not get it for several years

Oh OK so you saw all of them

Yeah, this is why I haven't played Starfox Command. The endings are not just horrible for Krystal, but for pretty much everyone.

Imagine if she went for Wolf instead of Panther? H'oh boy. Things would be steaming between Fox and Wolf even more than ever I can imagine!

She did go for Wolf in the third picture there making out

...Never heard of it, but the ending sounds jacked-up to me! XD

I felt it was like a child story at some points. The game was good though I would have loved to control the whole game with the buttons instead of the stylet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that stylus control hurt my wrist by the end. Buttons would've been better, maybe buttons for attacks, barrel rolls, etc and stylus for motion (SF64 3D is supposed to be like this, except it has the slide pad for motion)

i really hated endings 3, 4, 8 and 9. ending 2 was my favorite, also i didn't like ending 1, because krystal didn't forget fox and she only returned to the team, thanks to falco and slippy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, 3 and 4 made me cry, 8 and 9 I could stand better only because they didn't involve Krystal. I agree ending 2 was probably the happiest; didn't notice Krystal not forgiving Fox in 1, but oh well, at least as a whole that ending felt normal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's exactly what I thought! xD
At first it was like "Yay, Corneria has been saved :'D" and one second later it was like "Noooooo! Krystal left! D:"
and all the endings are bad c: even Marcus's one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ending 1 was okay, standard Star Fox ending: Team gets back together, Amanda's now a member, and Dash is the new villain (think Ending 6 ties in and explains that more)
I liked the Marcus ending too, though I really don't see it happening (mostly like it because at least it puts Krystal in a stable, non-love-triangle situation)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes. Ending 1 is the one people expects to be the real ending. Because, the game has no ending :c how are they supposed to continue that? That's why they are re-making starfox 64 instead of making a new game...

Whenever somebody asks me if there was a starfox game for DS, I simply reply 'no. and Command doesn't count.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I whole heartedly agree with you about Krystal's character in Command. It is NOT her at all. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Command screwed up the personalities, I think just so they could let you form all those different teams. Meh, it ruined the game for me; I'd rather have the traditional Star Fox as a team, Star Wolf as a separate team, and leave the alliance-switching to fanfics.
Hate when people say that they could go off of any of the endings, 'cause really only Ending 1 is anything like the rest of the series. Endings 3, 4, and 7-9 pretty much consist of the characters' lives going to crap, ending 2's interesting but unlikely, ending 5's just okay and ending 6 expands on part of ending 1.
It's also been suggested that the next game would either take place before Command or disregard it form continuity entirely. Hope it's the latter. (Though I'd love a Krystal-centered game about Cerinia, like the Adventures prologue but a full game of that)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, again I agree with what you say about Command screwing with personalities just to create diversity in the teams and even the endings. :/
A lot of the endings are just sad, no matter how you play the game. Like Fox and Falco ditching Star Fox and becoming Racers? Or even Falco leaving Star Fox to join Katt in some Renegade Group or whatever. They just completely end all things Star Fox with those endings. Even the supposed best ending where Fox and Krystal finally get back together and have a kid puts and end to the Star Fox team we know and love and tries to start another.
I've also heard that Nintendo won't be considering Command's endings as cannon and the next game won't follow them in any way. I personally hope for a game about Krystal specifically. Her story has left us with so many questions and theories about who she is and how she came to be. Like who or what destroyed Cerinia and her parents is a big gap in her story for example. I love Star Fox Assault and even Krystal is alright in that game, but its like her story and her development were on Pause in that game and she's merely a part of the group now without question. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Assault was neutral that way. It didn't mess up Krystal but didn't build on her character either (just added Panther to balance her addition to Star Fox, though unlike the other Star Wolf members who serve as rivals for the Star Fox members, Panther's there to be an annoying love interest.. in some ways it would've been better for them to have put a female member on Star Wolf to be Krystal's rival). Only problem I can see with a Krystal game is if it's done poorly, but otherwise I'd love it and likely buy it out of my Krystal addiction in any case, lol.
And yeah, it seems like there's an ending for each Star Fox member to get screwed in: Krystal's life going to pieces in Ending 4 (arguably Ending 3 as well), Slippy having a family but without the hopeful twist of the Marcus ending (instead having him gloomy because he misses the team), Falco getting depressed because no one wants him and starting a new team, and Fox getting depressed and becoming a racer.
The Dash ending felt more like a tie-in to ending 1, which was the most realistic and comprehensive of the endings. The Marcus ending was interesting to me (especially because it kills the relationship drama with Krystal by having her get married), but I highly doubt it'll happen. And the all-girl ending was bland; okay but not great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I like Command for its gameplay, but not for the story. :/ I'm very excited for the new Star Fox 64 for the 3DS, but if they're following the original story, that means no Krystal.
Of course you're also right about the possibility of a Krystal game. If its bad, that'll just ruin her character. But I'd buy it also to fulfill that Krystal obsession of mine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hoping Krystal will appear as a multiplayer option for 3DS, but don't expect more than that (though if she does I'll end up stressing over the fact I can't afford a 3DS, lol)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Whoa...that happens to Krystal? Yikes!
She was my favorite character in Star Fox Adventures. I can't believe they actually made her act out of character in this game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I think the idea was to make it so you can form any team possible, but to fit the story with it they turned everyone melodramatic, especially Krystal where she's the center of the Fox/Panther love triangle (hate love triangles; doesn't help that when I first beat this game I saw Pirates 2 later that day, and saw how they rewrote Elizabeth's character to bring back that love triangle that the first movie settled)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Love triangles are a part of life, but yeah, that doesn't mean they don't suck...or wreak havoc on the people involved, especially "third wheels".
Now my poor OC, on the other hand, is involved in something my brother calls a "love circus"! That means there are a ton of fanboys who like her, but to make matters worse, she's not ready for the concept of romance yet! (Don't you hate it when that happens?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, enroll her in self defense, I suppose
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good thing she CAN kick major butt, huh? (Interestingly enough, I'm a lot better with characters who start off weak and learn how to kick major butt as the adventure goes on.)

Ironic, since Krystal's my favorite character and she came after 64, but gameplay-wise (and even story, really) I agree the later games don't match up. Hoping Krystal will make a cameo in the multiplayer of StarFox 64 3D or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who knows? I don't think it'll happen though since her past is unknown other than being on Planet Sauria.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the Adventures manual says that she's the "only survivor of her doomed home planet Cerinia", but yeah, she doesn't meet Star Fox until Sauria, so shouldn't appear in story mode (hoping multiplayer mode will offer her and a bunch of the other later characters as options, though at least if she's not there I wouldn't feel so bad about not being able to afford a 3DS)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, here's to hopin'. For what good that'll do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
gameplay's fine, prefer the style of the other games but it's not that bad, but the story sucks overall. Tons of interpersonal drama and people acting out-of-character.
Usually when I play it now it's just to replay single levels; haven't touched storymode in years, lol
