Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)

Marvin Wong · 10-14-2007

I was like "WTF? How come there's no FF7 thread". This happend before the story of FF7 and when Sephiroth is not a villain. You play the hero as Zack, a friend of cloud. I'm still half of the game but man, what a game! Everything is set to perfect: Soundtrack especially (with marvelous remix of classic Final Fantasy VII and 1 best orchestral). I can't think anything nor type at the moment how much I love this game. Should be HIGHLY recommended for all Final Fantasy VII. I'm now drooling over this game. Square-Enix dominates.

Wtf does that mean? They've stayed true to the story, they haven't changed anything. They explained everything that needed to be explained, didn't leave much open-ended... And now they are simply adding on, and also giving backgrounds... I love it.

Yes, they add some story that were not explained in the original FFVII psx version. It's even better when you understand it because the story is simply awesome and you'll love it.

Nono, not the story. The design, and the overall 'fanservice-y' feel it gives off.

I didn't really like Advent Children that much.

Elaborate. I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't see any fanservice-y stuff.

Okay. Well it all began with Advent Children really. Just going with the new character designs you can already tell who the target market is going to include (apart from long-standing FF fans), but I gave it the benefit of the doubt (nevermind that it was also an ad for a Panasonic phone). Then, Dirge came, and to bolster my suspicion with regards to the target market, they included famous Japanese pop idol and pretty boy Gackt as a character in the game. That's when I felt things were truly getting ridiculous, on top of the fact that Dirge wasn't that good of a game in itself (my opinion), and I lost faith in the whole FFVII thing.

Which is why it felt kind of refreshing to know that Crisis Core is actually pretty good.

Two things are seriously wrong with this post.

1) They haven't stayed true to a whole lot, really. Take DoC for example; they added on a bunch of crap (Omega/Chaos/Deepground) to the story that a) wasn't in the original FFVII storyline and b) wasn't needed to tie anything up in the original FFVII storyline. They just figured "Oh, Vincent got a lot of attention from the fans, we should throw in a bunch of random plots into a game and center it around Vincent.". And now, all SQUARE is doing is expanding on the pointless crap they threw in for DoC (Deepground/Chaos/Omega) in Crisis Core.

2) A LOT needed to be explained in the story. The loose ends in the game were what happened to the other characters, besides Red XIII, after the whole Meteor/Holy clash at Midgar?, and random tidbits about characters such as Zack, the CloudxTifaxAerith situation, Jenova, and character things, and THAT'S what made FFVII as good as it was: it left the player thinking! It left players going "what-if?" and just thinking about all the crap that wasn't really 'thrown in your face' (and the Compilation is ruining this), like Cloud being a clone or a real person. If everything is answered (and I'm sure it's going to be), FFVII will lose a good chunk of it's fans that were there before all this "Compilation" crap, and leave the fanbase lingering with Cloud/Vincent/Sephiroth fanboys.
