His legacy, gave life to FINAL FANTASY VII──

This new version enhances the graphics to HD and updates all of the 3D models in the game. Full voiceovers and new music arrangements present this epic tale of strife and heroism, presenting FINAL FANTASY VII in a brand-new light. Enjoy a more beautiful and accessible CRISIS CORE, going way beyond just a simple HD remaster.

Awesome news. I've never played Crisis Core so this will be a day 1 buy for me.

Great game, glad to to have it on a modern system

hopefully they don’t replace the soundtrack, I remember reading that the reason they never released it digitally was because of the music rights.

Have never played the original so I’m there Day 1 for this. Definitely taking the term remaster to a new level.

Damn it'd be nice if more PSP ports got this remaster treatment! Especially games like Peace Walker, Chains of Olympus/Ghost of Sparta, Daxter, etc.

[KilloWertz]

Like others said, I never played the original version since I never owned a PSP. Definite day 1 buy unless it comes out around the same time as something else I'd already be playing. Regardless, a definite buy no matter when.

Was really hoping the new Zack voice would grow on me with time, but judging from this he really was just terribly miscast. Bummer.

Annoying voice acting is just a part of this series evidently. There was some voice acting in FF7 Remake that sounded absolutely ridiculous.

So, somebody explain what this game is to me like im 5. How is this connected to FF7? If im playing the remake trilogy do i need to play this as well?

Well Timmy, It's a prequel. That means it contains things that happened before FF7. <pats you on the head> Now go find your mother!

It's a prequel focusing on Zack Fair, which begins seven years before the events of Final Fantasy VII.

No, Crisis Core is connected to the original 1997 game, not the remake.

Day 1 for me never played Crisis Core so bring it on Zack Attack is Back Yo!

I liked all of the Remake voice acting personally. Zack sounds really goofy in this trailer though. Hopefully he sounds better in game.

Man so much FFVII stuff, I always told my friend they will remake or remaster Crisis Core, and suffice it to say, my prediction came true. It's so tough being right all the time.

I loved the original Crisis Core, it’s the main reason I’ve hung on to a PSP. I’ll definitely be picking this up day 1.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is a “faithful retelling” of its story

Combat will be tweaked to be familiar Final Fantasy 7 Remake fans

https://www.gamesradar.com/crisis-co...-of-its-story/

"Unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion will have a story that’s faithful to its source material, though combat will be tweaked so fans coming over will have something familiar.

Speaking to Press Start (opens in new tab), producer Mariko Sato confirms that the story will be as you remember it from Crisis Core, though not everything remains untouched.

“In regards to new things in Crisis Core Reunion story wise, we’re really doing a faithful retelling of the original Crisis Core so there are no new story elements but there are, on the other hand, many adjustments and improvements that we made to the gameplay experience as a whole,” Sato explains. “One of the big things was the battles, we wanted to make sure that players coming from the Final Fantasy VII Remake experience would be able to kind of just jump into Crisis Core and have a smooth experience. So there’s some adjustments we’re making there.

“And also it’s going to be fully voiced this time, the music tracks are all rearranged, and there’s just so many small and big improvements that we’ve been making – too many to list here – but I really hope that players will be able to enjoy this Crisis Core experience.”

As Square Enix explains in a new blog post(opens in new tab), Crisis Core Reunion features a combat system that meshes command-based systems with action gameplay – just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake. You’ll control Zack during battles, fighting directly with sword skills or using pre-set magic and abilities from your Materia.

While some things are set to change, there’s still plenty that’ll remain familiar. Square Enix confirmed on Twitter(opens in new tab) that Digital Mind Wave is still here. If you’ve been out of the loop, the mechanic functions like a slot machine that spins when you earn enough points by swatting goons. Lining up three of the same images unleashes a Limit Break attack, heals Zack, or powers up Materia."
