    I remember when the original crisis core came out 15 years ago. it was so hype on the psp and arguably the best jrpg game on psp

    Zack's story is good but the other characters not so much. Angeal and Genesis are kind of weird lol

    Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. It was my first FF game that I played and I didn't know anything about FF7 back then.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played the original psp game at its release and enjoyed it a lot. This remaster is really good, the graphics are nice on ps5, the battle system is improved. The only downside so far is the number of side missions, they are honestly too many.… Expand

    The new combat made it 10000x better than the original crisis core where you literally can't move the camera and when the DMW is always in your face.

    All those 300 missions are so fun, i never finished all of them back then but in Reunion i got very addicted to all of those missions

    Surely the best in the franchise! Love the change of the combat style, the added story of the FF7 lore and just an excellent inhanced version on the switch!

    Definitely enjoyed going down memory lane, but in remastered format. I played the original Crisis Core on PSP more than a decade ago. While the music wasn't as epic as the first, it was very similar of course with the same composer in Takeharu Ishimoto.

    El juego es divertidísimo, le metí sus 40 horas y me la pasé genial.
    Los gráficos mejoraron mucho respecto al original, pero si son inferiores a los vistos últimamente, dejan a deber. La banda sonora esta buenísima, y el gameplay es genial bastante dinámico.

    Oyun remaster olarak duyurulduğunda kulaklarıma inanamamıştım. Çünkü oyun bir remasterdan daha çok bir remake gibi duruyordu. Gerçekten tüm karakter modellemeleri, seslendirmeler, mekanların hepsini elden geçirmişler. Aslen eski bir oyun olduğunu anlıyorsunuz oynarken Final Fantasy 7 Remake gibi bir grafiği yok fakat çok yaklaştırmışlar ve oynarken sorgulamıyorsunuz.

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, the predecessor to the Final Fantasy VII Remake, did not achieve the same level of graphic quality as the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It can be said that the latter is a HD remake and the former is just a remake. Combined with the poor controller adaptation and the terrible combat experience of stacking enemies, I would only recommend thisCrisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, the predecessor to the Final Fantasy VII Remake, did not achieve the same level of graphic quality as the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

    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 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.

    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.
