As someone who entered FF-series' world for the first time through this "spin-off" game, I personally really enjoyed it overall and also learned the origin of the famous Buster Sword while at it. :D After completing the game 100%, here are a few personal thoughts on my experience: The story felt somewhat short after 2 runs (the ending was BS imo, REEEEE), graphics were modern and, personally, the combat system felt nice with reasonable HP on enemies so it didn't turn into one of those MMOs where u keep hitting the same enemies tens of minutes before proceeding forward. Some achievements and stuff required some extra researching from the web and I can confirm also that you indeed can get the Buster Sword Proficiency to 100% regardless of some confusion on some sources I encountered. Final words: Screw you, Cloud! I hate how wimpy you were in the game and don't deserve the Buster Sword, imo. >:D Also, the game should have offered an alternative ending for those who were strong enough to withstand against the Shinra army! Ugh! I've spoken.
------Activating Combat Mode------ Great prequel to one of the best JRPGs ever made. Combat is slick, summons are awesome, music is superb and the DMW system adds a bit of randomness and variety to the encounters. Despite this being a prequel, do not play this first unless you haven't played the original FFVII yet; Major plot twists will be spoiled and pretty much the entire experience will be ruined for you. Hard to believe that this is a remaster of a 2007 PSP game but the team did a great job by keeping the core experience the same while updating the visuals and audio to a respectable degree. Definitely recommend. ------Conflict Resolved------
Should I play? Yes and no. Yes because it is fun No because it is a handheld game. Do I need to play? Go watch anYouTube video that covers the story. Anyways here is my long form review. Crisis Core is a sincere and heartful prequel to one of the best games in the gaming world. In a world where Final Fantasty struck lightning, this game adds more to that world. In this remaster, and light remake, a clear vision and passion went into porting the game to modern hardware. It is a solid remaster and port that makes it a solid game to play. Just a slight precursor, I had played the original version of the game, although on my friend had lent his Playstation portable. The review is a thumbs up, an indication fo the quality fo the game and how it is made. Other than that, I do ENCOURAGE the reader to understand that the game is OPTIONAL and can be SKIPPED when there is a desire to play the Remake. Other than that, lets proceed to the review. The story is an emotional rollercoaster that is quite emotional and in depth, and in ways feels like it is still the original game, but with a small bit differences. It still made me feel emotionally attached to the characters, as their depth is pretty high. The main character Zack Fair is a jovial character who is a foil to Cloud. And the contrast is interesting. And the entire cast of characters are interesting enough. Even then, I do like the fact that a bunch of them are reappearing in the main game and remakes. Some include Sephiroth, Cloud, and Tifa. It does seem their backstories are presented so that there is a cause and purpose for the events of FF7 and its remake. The visual and graphic upgrades aid with the emotional impact. Environments feel phenomenal in design. It was nice seeing some of ther places in high fidelity. Voice cast was changed to ensure consistency with the younger people; Their performance seem flawless. Meanwhile, at the same time, I appreciate the soundtrack, as they are well crafted. I had a good time playing the game while enjoying the moving and emotional music. I even like the theme song that exists in the main menu. Even if the music is superb, I can’t help but feel some of the high energy music can be a bit out of place, or too much energy. Chocobos are cool. The mail system in game adds some world building because it enables characters to write messages to the main characters, and seemingly deepen relationships with others. The numerous side missions are bite sized, and quite nice. They fill the world building, but are so redundant; fetch quests are the most boring. One of the things I paid attention was: Were there any significant changes to the pot from the irignal game? No. Some of the changes seem insignificant to make any changes whatsoever. Is the game necessary to play Final Fantasy 7, both the original and the remake series? No. Crisis Core is optional. This opinion will differ among people who have played the game but in my opinion, this is not necessary. The mainline game can be played without it, but Crisis Core is entirely optional. While I did play the game in its entirety, I still notice a few things that did not work well for PC. The game is originally an exclusive meant for the handheld hardware “Playstation Portable”, and it is reallly obvious. Everything has to be short so that a person can play a bit and turn the PSP off, so that the person can go on and do other stuff. Save points are everywhere and incredibly visible; a feature that would not exist if it was available on pc or console. Enviornments are short and linear. Then there were the clear delineations that show places are offlimits, or where to the player should go. The most obvious sign is the dialogue; A character would say something and then need an input like pressing the mouse so the conversation could progress. This seems prevalent of the handheld era. Also, AVOID getting the digital deluxe edition. the art is 2 decades old promo art, and soundtrack that was never made better. A few other things to say. Crisis core is a prequel to the remakes and the og game. It can be treated as optional, as it is not mandatory to play when you want to play FF7 Remake and Rebirth. Personally, I would encourage the reader to watch a video on YouTube that summarizes the story, instead of wasting 20-25 hours. In fact, I do recommend the reader to play the remake and avoid the original game. That said, if you truly want to play and enjoy the experience, go for it. This review was intended for those who truly want to play it. Other than that, please do skip it. One more thing to say. The game feels like a glorified fan fiction for FF7 It also runs well on Steam Deck, both LCD and OLED versions. Unreal Engine was used to remaster the game and it is well done. If you have made it this far down in my review, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly am grateful. Now onto my verdict Score: 75% Recommendation: Depends. Playtime: 18 hours main story. 25 for all achievements Replay value: none.
I should probably give this a negative review, but I still enjoyed most of the time I've played so it still gets my recommendation. The story is from events that happen before FF7 remake so you should play that one first. I love and hate this game. I will start with why I like it: The characters are hit and miss. Zack (the MC) carries the entire game, The other chars didn't feel that impactful or are "just there". I'm really having a difficult time finding any attachment to any character other than Zack. The story is decent. If anything, it fills some gaps if you have played the remake first. I liked the combat at first but over time when doing all the missions, I started to like it less. This game exists to waste your time. That's why I hate it: There are too many minigames. They aren't fun, they exist as filler content. One example is a minigame where you have to count seconds and if you are even slightly off, you have to start over. You have to do them if you care about achievements. The only reason why the combat isn't repetitive is due to the slot machine gimmick (which is good and bad). The most (almost all) side content this game has is the repetitive missions (Around 300 I think). After doing around half I got so bored and annoyed that I just stopped doing them altogether. The enemies getting spongier only made it worse. No bugs and you don't need a high end PC for this. 6/10
