Put the fantastic in the Final Fantasy!
I believe that this is a DECENT representation of everyone's imagination of the WOW factor we got from ADVENT CHILDREN and that we all wished that FFVII would have looked so GOOD like that, so they did Crisis Core in a very Advent children kindda way, crisp, hot, nerve breaking, sad ... etc.
Everything in the series borrows from the greatness of the storyline in FFVII, how complicated the characters were, the music score was so good that they still used it in all games, but the main change was the gameplay which took me two days to sink in but when i did i do not think i will go back to TAKE TURN RPG crap again! i like Action RPG, i like Kingdom Hearts and Vagrant Story and FFXII and how free you feel in your surrounding, you can dodge and run around, and it is not a "ermmmm, wait .... what is my next move gonna be!?" Active battle system.
Square has done well, actually, excellente!
The game is so vivid with color, sound, action, emotions .... it grabs you from minute one and doesnt let you go ...
But down deep inside, i feel like this should put an end to the mad exploit of the frenchise, that is enough .... the story is told and Crisis Core made a great prequel ... even for those who did not watch LAST ORDER now understand bits of the VII ... even a friend of mine who did not play any of the games and only loved Advent Children fell in love with VII (Although he is a new FF fan, kindda like started loving it from X) ... so he wants to get the FFVII game and actually play it which i think is so fantastic.
The prequel , which is so perfectly made, revived one of the greatest stories told in the history of video games, that i think no one could ever tell something better than that! ever!
