I don't think it matters. I haven't played Crises Core, but I played though FF7 3 times in the 90's. Final Fantasy 7 has the main climax of the storyline except maybe for Advent Children. It has a excellent stroy, but will take you 50 hours or so to beat it. Also the graphics and gameplay are starting to age poorly. If you are going to play the original at all, play it soon.

if you want to go through the story in order, beginning with crisis core i think that one thing that would hurt the continuity would be ff7's aged graphics. There's probably going to be some spoilers if you start with crisis core. Because you find out alot more about cloud's background in disk two of ff7. Also consider that in the starwars saga alot of people started in order and were turned off by the first 3 films plus they had one the biggest plot twists in history ruined (Darth Vader was Lukes father) because they started in order instead of starting at new hope.

You won't understand Crisis Core if you haven't played FFVII.

No remake buddy, sorry. Is just a tech demo, SE has done those since the N64 days, with FFVI showing the N64 power, FFVIII showing the PS2 and now FFVII showing the PS3.

You should really try and play FFVII first. You don't need it in order to play Crisis Core, but Crisis will ruin the main plot twist in VII.

If you wish to appreciate Final Fantasy VII world and all of its story I strongly suggest you play original PS1 FFVII first, then watch the Advent Children movie and then play Crisis Core.

It doesn't matter that it's a prequel to VII, trust me on this one. Play the original first then Crisis Core, you won't regret it. 8)
