    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

    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.

    If you love final fantasy 7 and have never played the prequel then I highly suggest you pick this up, and play it.

    I played the original on psp and loved it, playing this brings back memories. The combat, spells and story all feels great again, some of changes they have made are great as well. If you love final fantasy 7 and have never played the prequel then I highly suggest you pick this up, and play it.

    This Game was already the best PSP Game of all Time. Here on Console it is even better. That is how you do a Remaster. Not to forget that amazing Story.

    Overall a really good port. They put a lot of love into this as the visuals got a huge upgrade. Gameplay is a bit dated by now but still very enjoyable. Now please give me FF IX remake with the classic turn-based combat!

    Great game and gorgeous remaster.

    Makes me wish that FF7 Remake is on Xbox or Switch too for those that prefer those consoles. Spread the love Square!

    As a person who has played the original on PSP this updated version is actually way better and so many different ways this is how you do a remaster and a remake in one

    This game was my childhood, Zack was my favorite character of all time in the whole ff7 universe. best remaster ever

    One of the best remasters ever produced, this is a remake. Each boss, each opponent, each level, and each character have a brand-new model. The resolution, performance, and MAYBE some textures are typically the only things updated in many remasters. But you could just as well call this one a remake.

    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

    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.
