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.
My biggest connection to the Final Fantasy franchise is through Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts. Growing up, I had a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts, and that was mostly my exposure to Final Fantasy until later in my teenage years, when I started getting into the games more seriously. I first played Final Fantasy VII in 2019, and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was a game I thought I already knew all the major events of, simply because it was such a cultural zeitgeist. It felt like one of those stories that everyone just “knows”—like how someone who has never watched Star Wars can still understand its major plot points due to its cultural popularity. That’s how FF7 felt to me. Playing Final Fantasy VII was an absolute delight because I couldn’t believe how many moments were still complete surprises. Characters such as Crisis Core’s main protagonist, Zack, were a total surprise to me. I had assumed he was created exclusively for that game and nothing more. Experiencing the original Final Fantasy VII and understanding Zack’s importance—and how his motivations shaped Cloud—not only made Cloud a deeply layered character, but also clarified what he was truly fighting for. Much like my earlier experience with the franchise, I completely missed Crisis Core during the PSP era, despite owning the system. It was a blind spot for me. After all these years, I finally sat down and experienced Crisis Core through the remaster, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. After all this time, I’ve finally completed Crisis Core, and what an experience it was. At a lean 12 hours or so, it was all killer, no filler. The game follows Zack Fair and his journey to becoming a hero. The gameplay felt like an awesome blend of Kingdom Hearts energy with that distinct Final Fantasy identity—I could definitely see where the inspiration overlapped. Crisis Core tells a powerful story about the legendary hero Zack Fair and “The Price of Freedom.” By the end, I was holding my controller in awe at how impactful the finale was. While Zack’s fate may be well known, experiencing the events and meeting the characters along the way added so much weight to that ending. I can’t recall a video game ending in recent years that made me feel that way. For me, it stands as a near-perfect conclusion. Crisis Core is the definition of a prequel done right. It meaningfully adds to the events of what comes after and enhances the overall experience of Final Fantasy VII. With the Final Fantasy franchise, I’m often reminded of how frustrated I am that I didn’t immerse myself in these characters and stories at an earlier age. I continue to adore the Final Fantasy VII cast and narrative more and more—through the original game, its spin-offs, and even the Remake. I’ve been loving this reintroduction to these characters and the new ways their stories are being told. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is a must-play for anyone who has experienced Final Fantasy VII. You owe it to yourself to witness the man from Gongaga become a legendary hero.
The original Crisis Core on PSP was my first introduction to the Final Fantasy franchise, I had zero thoughts about the lore and being good at the game as a 9 year old. Spamming jump attack crushes 80% of the game still. The mission environments do feel bare, but you have to keep in mind it is a game that was made for mobile systems. The graphics are greatly improved and combat is so much faster inline with the FFVII remake. The story still brings tears to my eyes. It is a great experience for fans of the series, and I highly recommend purchasing it on sale.
Prequel to FF7 Remake, so you can play it before or after, it doesn't really matter. Nomura mentioned playing it after Remake and before Rebirth as an ideal experience, which is what I did and it gave the few callbacks some meaning. That being said, this game is really campy. It tries to be serious, but the voice acting and the pacing is so bad that it's jarring. The game's worth playing of course since it builds on the story of the "main" game, but it doesn't really hit the highs in terms of production quality. Still a good game though and worth playing.
100% = ~44 hours (1 run) Great game, but isn't worth $50 in 2025. Only buy on sale! If you want to 100% be prepared to follow an in-depth chapter guide to prevent missing achievements, create many saves to reload when you fail convoluted one shot mechanics / mini-games, wait for many RNG systems to proc (I waited over 3 hours for last DMW cutscene), and complete over 300 side missions (very tedious) .
