    Terrible. I have to ask, did anyone rating this game positive actually play it? Because I find it baffling how anyone could give this anything above a 5, I can understand being wowed by it as a psp game since it was ahead of its time but nowadays its segmented level design just feels dated and boring

    The story is essentially "member sephiroth? and the buster sword?" all wrapped in an    Terrible. I have to ask, did anyone rating this game positive actually play it?

    The story is essentially "member sephiroth? and the buster sword?" all wrapped in an origin story for zach that nobody asked for. The new voice actor for Zach is almost as bad as tidus from ffx but even more annoying because he acts like a hyperactive kid on a sugar rush half the time, sounds like it too. It all just feels like a bad fanfic meant to please only the most obsessed fans.

    The gameplay is awful. Some moron at square thought it would be a cool idea to tie leveling up TO A ROULETTE WHEEL. Thats right, leveling up is entirely based on luck! Please, anyone who rated this game a 10, tell me this is good, please. Truly one the worst mechanics to ever grace an rpg.    … Expand

    Crisis Core Reunion is a wonderful upgrade to the original game that makes it better in some areas while showcasing some of its shortcomings at the same time. It is also weird to release a piece of this series on consoles that cannot continue the narrative unless they swap to another console. Final Fantasy VII is a classic for a reason and I did love a lot of the games that spawned from it. The story is fantastic and it is nice to see the series return to Xbox and Switch.

    Final Fantasy VII is regularly seen as the greatest game in the fabled JRPG franchise, yet it is hard to argue against CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION being the best spinoff. The improvements to the graphics and combat elevate this remaster above, whilst retaining the best features of, the original.

    Breathing new life into a decade-and-a-half-old PSP game, Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is a cracking remake of a JRPG that was already a pretty ruddy good in the first place. It definitely deserves a fair shake.
