The pacing of combat in the PSP version is noticeably slower by comparison, so I’m glad that things feel a lot smoother now given that Crisis Core utilises a real-time action based combat system. Zack feels way more dexterous on the field, with the ability to quickly dodge, roll to vantage points, sword strike and unleash spells smoother and faster than ever before. It’s truly one of those cases where the game now actually looks how you thought it looked when playing it back on the PSP, but looking back on footage of the PSP version to compare while playing Reunion, it’s clear to see it’s come a very long way.Īnother notable improvement that Reunion introduces is a faster paced combat system. In the shift over to Unreal Engine 4, the character models have been completely rebuilt and look fantastic, the user interface and menus have been redesigned to be brought more in-line with the designs of FF7 Remake and the environments are now incredibly detailed and feel modern. It’s a huge step up all round from the original and there are times that it looks right on par with what we got in the FF7 Remake just a couple of years ago. The largest and most notable change with Reunion are definitely the visuals. Reunion uses the original PSP game as the framework but they’ve rebuilt most of what’s laid on top to make it feel more in line with a game that’s releasing in 2022 rather than 2008. While it’s certainly not the ground up full recreation that FF7 Remake was to the original Final Fantasy 7, it’s more than your standard asset upres remaster we’ve seen many times in recent years. It’s a deep and emotional tale that fleshes out the characters and world we’ve come to learn more about in FF7.Ĭrisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion walks a really strange line between what we typically call a remaster and a remake. His dreams are clear pretty much from the earliest moments of the game but before long, Zack finds himself assigned to retrieve a missing SOLDIER named Genesis and manages to uncover a deeper mystery involving other members of SOLDIER and Shinra’s twisted Jenova Project. Zack is a SOLDIER for Shinra and at the beginning of the game his goal is to be recognised for his efforts as a SOLDIER and promoted from being ranked 2nd class to the more prestigious 1st class. You play as Zack Fair, a character you may have a little bit of context for if you’ve played FF7 or it’s Remake. The events of Crisis Core take place 7 years prior to the beginning of Final Fantasy 7. Now, almost 15 years on, that tale has been recreated, upgraded with multiple quality of life improvements and brought to more platforms than ever before to make this release of Crisis Core the definitive way to experience the game whether you’re wanting to jump in for the first time or if you’re a returning player. While many have experienced the tale of Cloud Strife, whether it be via the original game or the 2020 Remake, unless you had a PSP in the mid 2000’s, you may have missed the awesome prequel that was Crisis Core. Of the many, many entries the series has, one of my personal favourites and arguably one of the deepest when it comes to world building and complexity is Final Fantasy 7. It’s been a constant part of my gaming journey ever since I was young, through to now thanks to how replayable many of them are and the numerous remasters and remakes that have launched in recent years, and likely into the future as the series shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. If you're stuck anywhere in the game, this guide will be your reference to get back on track or find what it is you are seeking.If you know me, or followed my reviews for any period of time, you’ll likely know that I’m a pretty big fan of the Final Fantasy franchise. This guide will cover literally every last ounce of the game, complete with a walkthrough, information on side quests and hunts, a detailed basics section, and appendices the likes of which you've never seen before. ![]() Naturally, not everything will be obvious, nor will it be easy. Even seasoned RPG players will find themselves spending at least 100 hours to do everything within the game. ![]() ![]() The game feels like Final Fantasy, but has MMORPG elements (though it is a one player game) and a scope that goes above and beyond what most RPGs, even of contemporary times, can accomplish. The twelfth installment of the main Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XII provides a bit of a twist in relation to the other games in the series, especially ones before XI.
