    The one of the best remasters. Graphics and controllers was updated. OST is good but isn't on Square level. The storyline is good too, but some characters and things is over expendable. In short, is a good game for FFVII fans.

    Based on the same wonderful game we enjoyed on PSP, but with a nice facelift, it's not a remake, but it's close.

The quality of life improvements to gameplay and the face lifts the characters, menus, and even entire areas received to look closer to Remake were absolutely fantastic. Combat was even faster and flashier than what I remember from the original and going out of my way to complete everything felt like I got to see a side of these characters I’d never seen before. The emotional journey and character interactions have been etched fondly into my memories for over a decade now, so revisiting this journey only solidified to me that it is a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by fans old and new. Whether you played this game during it’s era like I did or are a new fan to the FF7 franchise I definitely recommend playing through this fantastic adventure. This serves as a beautiful overhaul for those of us who already loved it, and still something fresh and exciting for the newcomers. Either way it’s the perfect game to hold us over until Rebirth.… Expand

    Another nostalgia bait from Square Enix, with somewhat better graphics and atmosphere-breaking remixed soundtracks, not to mention the worst re-recording ever, especially on Zack the new va totally deprived the charm of character
    They seriously need to stop milking FF7 besides there are much more possibilities in enhancing other numbering ones

Vamos a lo importante, lo argumental, es muy buena historia llevada por un gran protagonista, Zack me encanta es muy simpático, Aeris ni hablar, Genesis y Angeal no se que pensar, no me terminan de convencer pero tampoco los considero asco de personajes, Sefirot me encanta y ahora que por fin logro escuchar su voz, el principio de la historia no esta mal pero siento que mejora cuando se empieza a conectar y dar sentido a la historia del juego original, y las ultimas horas son muy buenas, esa última escena es dura ngl, y la escena post-creditos te pone la piel chinita.

    Game is exactly what the company promised.. A remaster of a Godier psp game.

The audio as well as the visual department got the treatment of Remake series and is overall a better version of the old game.

    keep in mind this is not a remake, thus stuff that you may not like such as the repetitive side missions the empty roads and the points of no return parts may be of your dissliking. The cast of the remake are reprizing their roles so in case you do not like the new VA of Zack that also may add to your dissatisfaction.

    Liked:

    New Combat system is fun and addicting.

    Materia fusion is also fun

    Nice to see certain FF7 characters Got to see previews of regions that have yet to be explored in the FF7 Remake compilation.


    Disliked:

    Side missions get reparative

    Very little enemy variety Dialogue delivery is rough during certain cutscenes

    A lot of retcons to the original’s story

    That's how a remaster should ne handled. It's still the same game, but much more fluid.

    The price tag may be too much for some people. It could indeed cost a bit less considering it's a game designed for a portable system.

    For me it was well worth it, not spectacular but fun enough to keep me entertained for a week or so (I went for platinum trophy). Campaign only takes much less time.

    While the story and gameplay are enjoyable, the missions jump from easy difficulty to a scheme that completely foregoes skill, level, equipment, and reaction time in favor of intense repetition until pure luck prevails. Rinse and repeat said missions for 50% of endgame content. Would not recommend this game if you expect more than 10 hours of good content for your $50.

    Because I missed out on Crisis Core for the PSP, I am so thankful that Square brought this game to the PS5! Crisis Core is an amazing prequel to Final Fantasy 7, my favorite video game of all time. Crisis Core focuses on Zack and has a beautiful and tragic story. I loved being able to see everything from Zack’s perspective especially when interacting with Cloud Aerith and Sephiroh.

My favorite chapter was definitely the one where you go to Nibelhiem because of how important those events were to Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth. I liked how much Crisis Core Reunion looked and played like FF7 Remake. Reunion definitely felt more like a remake than a remaster.… Expand

    I never played the original on PSP but I absolutely enjoyed FF7 remake last year when I finally played through it! This remaster is very well done considering it is a PSP title.

    I don't understand how this game can have such high rating. It's by far one of the worst FF games I've played.

    1. The gameplay is extremely dated. Unless you played the original and want to play this for nostalgia, stay away. 2. The missions is a joke. Most bland and repetitive thing I've seen in a game. 3. The writing is laughably bad. 4. Story is mainly a back-story of Zack,    I don't understand how this game can have such high rating.

    3. The writing is laughably bad.

    4. Story is mainly a back-story of Zack, Angeal and Genesis and is mostly forgetable. It would be more suited for a DLC than an entire game.

    5. The game can easily be completed in 10 hours making it basically the shortest FF game out there.

    This game is definitely not worth $60. If you played the original you might find some nostalgia here, but otherwise do yourself a favour and spend your money on something else.    … Expand

Even though they revamped some stuff I don’t know why they didn’t do it on some of the cutscenes which is a little odd. But non the less I am pleased and excited to see what they do with Remake part 2 especially on now part one ended with Zack now in the picture of a potential new timeline. Good stuff!… Expand

    The best PSP game of all time, as of right now, was this one. It works even better on the console. In this manner, a Remaster is performed. Keeping in mind that wonderful Story

    A neat remaster that sometimes clashes with its PSP origins. More often than not, it comes out on top, but it feels like it could have broken more limits. [Issue#23, p.74]

    As a prequel to one of gaming’s most beloved classics, Crisis Core did a great job of enriching the original game’s world as an action RPG on the PSP. This remaster not only enhances the visuals but also improves on many of the original’s shortcomings. While there still are some inconveniences, altogether Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an exhilarating experience from start to finish.

    A beautiful looking remaster which doesn’t manage to significantly upgrade its source material in aspects other than graphics. Only faithful Final Fantasy VII fans who didn’t get to play it on the PSP will leave truly satisfied.
