Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII along with Before Crisis, Dirge of Cirberus and Advent Children. Crisis Core provides a good amount of fan service and decent enough gameplay to actually entertain its main audience: die hard Final Fantasy VII fanboys (me). But I'm not sure if anybody outside of that demographic would actually like it.
Like a lot of people Final Fantasy VII ushered me into the realm of the Japanese RPG, which is a genre that you won't see me criticize. It's not because of blindness to its flaws, but out of respect and plain nostalgia. I remember the hundreds of hours spent playing Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and X. Now it has gotten to the point where I actually took the time out to experience the past of Final Fantasy by playing VI (One day I'll get to IV, V and Chrono Trigger). If anybody is wondering why I don't just dive into the review it's because I'm letting you know the stance that I take on JRPG's, I like them…a lot and that the review is coming from somebody that respects the genre. It's also because the fact that I'm not going to give this some sky-high score (it's not a 9). Because while I enjoyed the game for the most part, it does have some problems.
Reunion is the big-screen remaster of Crisis Core that so many have asked for since the original game was released. For those who shun the smaller screens of handheld gaming, this will be their first time experiencing this early chapter in the ongoing Final Fantasy VII saga. The big question is, is it worth the wait?
A new Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Play Arts Kai figure is coming this summer, with pre-orders closing today!
Cloud Strife and Zack Fair are two deeply beloved characters in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, but which one is the better protagonist?
Both are great. Zack was the reason how Cloud became who he is, is just a really fun character and had to go through a ton of struggle so I do rate him a bit higher. Can't wait for the two to perhaps fight with or against eachother in the next part or two in the remake games.
