1997 provided one of the most influential years in gaming history mostly thanks to the power & success of one groundbreaking RPG, “Final Fantasy VII”. Years after “FF VII’s” release came a groundswell of support & fandom for both the franchise & role-playing games in general. As time progressed, the characters of “Final Fantasy VII” found their way into other games and even different forms of media including a full-length movie. One of those experiences happened to be a Playstation Portable exclusive focusing on Zack Fair – the best friend and mentor to Cloud as seen in the original iteration.
Garnering praise and slight criticism for embracing a combat system more in line with future installments of the “Final Fantasy” franchise than its namesake, “Crisis Core” left a lasting impression where gamers who didn’t have the privilege of owning a PSP wanted to experience it themselves. 15 years after “Crisis Core’s” original release, a remake of Zack’s adventure is now available for eighth & ninth generation gamers. Shine up that buster sword, fix her flower wagon, and enjoy these first impressions of “Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion”.
