Crisis Core: What did you all think?

I'll be honest I somehow never played this game until now, and I have got to say that for a portable 3-D RPG this is game is awesome. I'm not what you would call a die hard RPG fan by any means but I found this game for 5 dollars and decided to give it a whirl. Now I can't stop playing it. The power surge thing is awesome and I like how you can fuse your abilities into more bad A ones. The combat is pretty fun too, especially since I'm not such a fan of turn based games

The game is epic.

For a handheld the graphic is super great. The story is very satisfying especially if you've played FF7. The music is superb and has the best music in a FF game since FFIX. The combat is fun, it's fast paced and while many dislike the slot machine mechanic I liked it because it made things interesting, watching old flashbacks and cutscenes etc!

Perhaps the biggest problem is that it's a bit too linear but I forgive them because it's a psp game and it's great. The game is too easy on "normal" though but I kinda had a hard time on "hard", I feel as if there perhaps should've been another difficulty level.


Totally a 10/10! The best PSP game!

The game is great. Especially if you can get it for 5 dollars ;)

5 dollars is a great deal. Go for it, the game's awesome.

It was great. Anything related to FFVII is well worth the time.

The story, music and gameplay are all great. It's one of my faavourites.

Even though I liked FFVII I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but Crisis Core was too damn amazing. The soundtrack (especially "The Burdened") is amazing, the combat is very nice and the controls are responsive. The story, needless to say, was perfect and honestly the way they executed the ending made it even better.

IMO, the best RPG I've played in my PSP.

I have never played it, but it is one of the PSP games I plan on downloading for my Vita when I get it.

I felt FF7 was a painfully sub-par JRPG but loved Crisis Core for its character development and overall presentation.

It felt fun at first but then the repetative nature of the side missions and the combat just got to me. Started feeling like a chore rather than a fun game. Didn't like the DMW system either. It felt much more enjoyable on hard mode though. All I needed was cure materia and a load of button mashing the entire game on normal mode.

Thats what sucks is that it currently isn't on the Playstation Store for download, so it won't be playable on Vita. One of the reason's I went ahead and got a new PSP after my old one broke. Some games just aren't available yet. Glad to see everybody else enjoyed it as much as I am, I'm already getting ready to get the psone games and the PS3 games to try.

I think it was good but the voice acting could have been done better or at least Square Enix could launch a subtitled version as a dlc. =(Hekynn

I actually liked the English voice acting, especially for Genesis and Reno because of their slight cowboy accents. The US version has subtitles.

I on't really like RPG's, but this game is just great. Best PSP game ever (besides Dissidia maybe).

Aside from the infamous series, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game ever. I beat three times and the story is just fantastic.

One of my fav games ever. Certainly one of the best PSP games as well. Although it has tons of replay value, i dont think i could ever play it again...

Hrm, maybe I should give this another try :P I played a few hours of it and the cut-scenes put me off. It just seemed to be a game built on Sephiroth fan service. Not that fan service is ever really a bad thing, it just felt rather over done in my opinion.GammaTru

The story really is more about Genesis and Zack. Sephiroth got much to do with it ofcourse, so he also has a significant role in it. Pretty logic.

I thought the game was good! :D

i'd say its a masterpiece.

The best Final Fantasy Game for PSP. I liked Crisis Core.A great example of what the PSP can do. One of the best all time games on PSP

I havent played much of i but i liked what iv played and i think the voice acting was really good.

It's one of the best games I've ever hadplayed. The story, the music, & controls were great.

Although it's been a while since I've played it, I can honestly say it's my favorite PSP game. It had great gameplay and added onto the FFVII story amazingly well, which was nice to see for once.

I found it absolutely horrible and took my used copy back to Gamestop to get something else. It was way too linear, repititive and the characters didn't match their original FFVII personas.

[QUOTE="pills4louis"]Whatever, I thought it was much better than the mediocre game it's a prequel to. Crisis Core's presentation had heart. FF7's was hollow in comparison. Also, just try to tell yourself FF7 (and almost every JRPG ever) wasn't linear. Try. Just because they give you a "world map" doesn't mean you can skip past the main story. It doesn't make the game any more open-ended. At least Crisis Core didn't beat around the bush with the illusion of freedom known as the world map. And those missions, man. If you didn't play through all the missions and defeat Minerva, you don't know jack about Crisis Core's replay value.

1. It's a prequel. Not a sequel.

2. While Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the last Sonic game I personally enjoyed, and while Sonic 3D Blast was a letdown for many, I can see Sonic Adventure 1 & 2-- even though I didn't personally care for them-- as legitimately good games, from an objective point of view. Sort of like how I can respect Ocarina of Time or Halo 1 as being good despite not enjoying them very much at all. For the longest time since then, the "Sonic Cycle" came into effect, though Sonic Colors broke the cycle by being a surprisingly good game. Sonic Generations also looks like it will be good, and with the Sonic Cycle broken by Colors, I feel it's safe to make that statement.

sonic generation and sonic 4 is a good step forward

but not even in class of sonic 1

thats why sonic 1 sells even today

crisis is a nice rpg but it is just uses the name.its not ff7

"Real emotion" made me laugh, apparently. Sorry, lego-men sorta killed the "dramatic" situations for me. And, the engrish... "This guy are sick." "Come planet!" "To the settling of everything!" Worst translation ever.

"Too much talking"? It's an RPG, get used to it. "childeish"? For one, it's spelled childish. Two, if you want childish, look no further than Barret and Cid's potty-mouths.

"FF7 was one of the best in gfx"? Panzer Dragoon II Zwei and NiGHTS into Dreams-- two Sega Saturn games from 1996-- beat FF7's battle models a year in advance.

Crisis Core is quite a dramatically emotional game, probably a bit too much. But when you play the game and get caught up in the character's struggles, you don't really think about how cliché or unrealistic their lines are. All Final Fantasy games have this "problem" or trait, and to call it childish in Crisis Core isn't quite accurate. When you just go with the flow and accept that their world is vastly different from our own, you can accept that the characters are much more emotional than real human beings.

"give me example of other rpg better in gfx at 1996"

I'm not going to pander to your arbitrary thought process of cIassifying a game's graphical prowess based on its genre. Maybe they shouldn't have made a full 3D Final Fantasy until they could make the whole game up-to-par with its battle visuals, at least in terms of its models. Regardless, I've already named two games from 1996: Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, and NiGHTS into Dreams. Their 3D models are on par with, if not superior to, FF7's battle-only models.

"about the emotions - there is a lot of deapth -translations problems do not destroy the the story and its delivernce ,characters depth"

Yes, they do, I'm afraid.

"u just need to get use to it"

No, I don't need to. In fact, nobody should need to. I live in America, English is a primary language here, and when I pay $50 for a game, I want a top-notch translation. I apologize for having standards when it comes to legibility. Many an English professor would either shake their heads in shame or laugh outright upon reading FF7's engrish translation.

"crisis is so emotion base-i bet women like it"

The people who recommended it to me are men. Straight men, even. One of which is getting married this weekend, to a woman, no less. Why is it so wrong for someone to feel emotions, based on their gender? Joy, sorrow, love, hate, and other emotions are a natural part of sentient life, humans included.

"u can talk about a change in the battle system but the story? ur not thinking good"

What does this statement even mean? Please, reiterate this statement. I'm genuinely curious to know what you were trying to say. I've grown accustomed to reading gramatically-poor internet dialect but even I have my limits.

"u just love it cause it has a modern engine"

Nope. Guess what? My favorite game of all time is Radiant Silvergun, a Sega Saturn game from 1998. The game is mostly sprite-based. But go ahead, please throw more ad hominems at me. They're fun to disect.
