TVG writes: "It may have been released over a decade ago, but there's little argument amongst fans of Square Enix (or perhaps of Japanese RPGs in general), that the pinnacle of the genre to date was 1997's Final Fantasy VII on the original PlayStation. Introducing the world to one of the more durable J-RPG characters in Cloud Strife and his nemesis, Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII remains at the core of any JRPG fan's collection. Which is perhaps why Square Enix have been loathe to leave it be ever since; practically touching every media is the so-called 'Compilation of Final Fantasy VII', a grand opus of titles all set in the world ruled by the Shinra Electric Energy Company. We've already had 'Before Crisis' for mobiles (in Japan at least), the CGI movie 'Advent Children', and the action/adventure 'Dirge of Cerberus', so to finish the circle, the publisher has turned to the PSP and produced Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
Already available with great fanfare in Japan, the fact that a limited edition PSP was produced to coincide with the launch says it all, TVG caught an airship to Midgar to analyse the Crisis close up..."
