The essential prequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake
Final Fantasy Crisis Core had a very special place in the hearts of fans of the saga, because at the time it had greatly expanded the Final Fantasy VII plot narrative. Today, this remake fits perfectly into this new era proposed with the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake and soon Rebirth.
The story is always so exciting, and players can now enjoy beautiful cinematic sequences with the game engine, dubbed with the same voices from Final Fantasy VII Remake. You can also choose between English and Japanese voices, depending on your preferences, because both dubbings are of excellent quality.
So as not to spoil the surprise of those who would like to discover this adventure for the first time, be aware that you will evolve with cult characters from the main game, such as Sephiroth or even aerith.
Next-gen graphics?
Available on Playstation 5 and Playstation 4, we would have expected to see next-gen graphics on the very latest from Sony. On this side, the game does its job without surprising more than necessary.
About the cutscenes from the original game, they have, it must be admitted, a little aged, but represent a beautiful tribute without denoting too much with the current engine.
The best of the original gameplay, enhanced for the occasion
In addition to a gripping scenario, Final Fantasy Crisis Core benefits from a dynamic combat system. The basic rules are simple, namely several commands to attack, parry or dodge.
Of course, the equipment Articles allows you to cast spells or improve your character.
The touch of originality of the game is the presence of theOCN (Digital Brain Wave). It is represented by a wheel at the top left of the screen. The images and numbers scroll randomly until they form combinations providing bonus or allowing Zack to call upon invocations.
This addition allows to add spice in the fights and forces the player to take advantage of the buffs he benefits from at the moment.
The combat system has been improved compared to that on PSP, and here is more fluid and pleasant.
Lifespan and side quests
Faithful to the original episode, the lifespan for themain story is around 18 p.m..
However, it would be a shame to miss out on all the side quests, some of which feature characters like Yuffie. Also, if you want to unlock the best invocations of the game, the missions will be an essential step!
