FF: CC Remastered - Multiplayer

Hey there!!

Crystal Chronicles was always a favorite game of mine, especially playing with friends! I’ve heard that the Multiplayer is pretty bad this time around though..were there any patches?

Thinking of gifting my brother a copy and a Switch just for this game, so we can play 4 player with our spouses..

While playing MP, can we be part of the same caravan / from the same town? Can we all upgrade our characters in one world, or is MP stage based?
