Anybody think that Crisis Core is a better game than Final Fantasy 7 ?

Well I sure do, In fact I think it's a perfect game, I could replay it a million times and not get sick of it, I love every track of the soundtrack, I love all the characters, I love the combat system, the graphics, the leveling up system, the side quests, and I love the story most of all.

Final Fantasy VII didn't really do it for me, but Crisis Core was easily one of my favourite games of all time. Who else agrees with me ?

i loved crisis core the ending was good but im currently playing ff7 so i dont have an answer

While I'm not all that fond of FFVII, I must disagree. I hated the randomness of the combat- You leveled up at random, you execute limit breaks at random, you summon at random, etc. It made it feel more like a game of chance than of skill.

Well I never played Crisis Core so you can just ignore me, but I doubt I would love it as much as Final Fantasy 7. The game looks fun and I really want to play it but I have no PSP.

I can't vote :x I haven't got my copy of CC yet, I will have soon though because it looks great and I finally sprung for a psp last week 8). Maybe Ill necro your thread :lol: depends how awesome it is (I picked up FF7 on the store too, the PSN store prices aren't bad at all for the classics imo).

No. The only thing about Crisis Core that was truly great to me was some of the cutscenes, especially the ending. Also, Zack overall. He was just a great character imo.

As a VII vet, I love both games. However if asked to pick one or the other as a favourite, VII would win hands down.

No, both are horrible games. *Note: preemption FF7 dislike, and FF7 crisis core dislike have absolutely nothing to do with the ps3, psp or this generation, they have to do with a general dislike of FF7 and every thing it has spawned. You shall feel my wraith if you even mention my current fanboy affiliation, the ps1 was my most liked system that generation*

If I had to pick one then it would be FF7 the original being the better game, Crisis core was a often used, linear travesty with only 30 or so unique monsters reused over 500 times, a set of like 8 maps reused 300 or so times the game was boring, and monotonous. If you want Crisis cores story go play the first 5 or so hours of ff7, up till kalm and the retelling of nibelheim there are very few differences in story, with you playing the part of Zack instead of cloud, Dont even get me on the massively brainless combat which in my multiple playthroughs I beat the game once doing one thing...ATK,ATK,Dodge...I did that the entire time and beat the game...then you have the plot holes and near total rewrites of story it introduces to the ff7 mythos. Good graphics and polish are just not enough specially in a psp game, specially in the fact this game is not a portable game its meant for extended play times not pick up and go.

FF7 should never have had a movie, never a 3ps sequel, prequel or anything else they've just ruined the mythos and universe more then FF7 managed too.

Let's just say playing Crisis Core convinced me of how dumb a decision SE is making in not rebooting FFVII. Even a PSP remake would be fine (with an option to play it on your PS3). Though CC's biggest flaw for me is that I knew the ending from the start so I didn't find it touching in the least, just blown outta proportions. The story revelations during the game were nice though.

CC was great but the combat held it back.

I really liked CC. Mainly because of the presentation and story. However if FF7 hadn't existed, i wouldnt have even liked it half as much. The greatness came from knowing what was going to happen and how great Zack was.

I liked the storyline in Crisis Core, but I like the traditional turn based battle system for FF7 more than the more button mashy one in Crisis Core.

I liked them both.

Crisis Core was a great game. But Final Fantasy VII still has my heart

Crisis Core was a disgrace. The ONLY RPG I ever played where I literally can hit one button over and over and win 100% of battles. Story line went all over the place as it was a prequel and had to touch all aspects of story. Game looked amazing considering it was being played on the psp but difficulty, menu, battles, etc were very MEH.

No. Midgar felt empty, and boring. The design was awful. Combat was meh. Missions were lame. I honestly can't remember a scene from that game apart from

[spoiler] Cloud revealing himself [/spoiler] I was hugely disappointed to be honest.

Crisis Core was the best Final Fantasy game I've played. Probably because it's the only Final Fantasy game I've played.

I loved them both but Crisis Core just felt like a more dynamic experience and just felt like it completed the story that was told in VII. I'd say gameplay wise, yes Crisis Core is more accessible and a little more fun for those who do not dig the RPG genre yet want to experience FFVII. :)

no, at all, crisis core was extremelly was extremelly boring, i only hang on it because of the storyline. while final fantasy 7 is a master piece

Just started play Crisis Core, im not sure i like the leveling system. Lv up if i just random get 777 vs grind exp points i think i like grind exp points more.

Think i like FF7 more.

FFVII (it was a decent game). As for Crisis Core I thought the gameplay was bad. The only reason I played through was to experience Zack Fair's story (but thanks to Nojima's writing it wasn't so good).

Totally love Crisis Core, definately one of my favoutite games of all time :)

No. IMO, FFVII was average, but I found Crisis Core to be flat out terrible. Easy/repetitive gameplay, terrible writing, annoying DMW system, monotonous side-missions, etc. The only thing that I liked about CC is the soundtrack.

Wouldn't even begin to compare Crisis Core to FF7. Totally different experiences. CC has a mission based system that is highly repetative, boring button masher combat that happens to be way too easy to a point where it makes the vast majority of the materia system completely useless and poorly told filler storyline with forgetful characters. It's a lackluster spin off.

I'm not gonna lie... I have an urge to say CC is better because Zack>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cloud, and I didn't hate Aeris in that game (Weird!!),but in all honesty FFVII became a classic for a reason, so of course it's better.

I liked it, but it wasn't better than FF7. That's not saying much though because FF7 isn't even close to my favorite FF.

FF7 is still better.

Just started play Crisis Core, im not sure i like the leveling system. Lv up if i just random get 777 vs grind exp points i think i like grind exp points more.

Think i like FF7 more.

The more you battle the more chance you get at recieving 777. So your pretty much grinding anyway.

Thats how thought it was.

I haven't play Crisis Core yet so I can't give an accurate answer for it, but I have to say that Crisis Core have to be very good for it to top FFVII

7 I like turn based combat better.

Certainly not better . It didn't have any depth like FF7 . Storywise, they don't link very good to each other . I loved the Zack meets Cloiud moment, the cutscenes and summons are beautiful . The end movie suddenly gets so much more emotion After playing the game,

Crisis Core is amazing and worth playing. But not quite as better than 7.

Maybe because its more ofnewer and recent release, it looks and sounds better which is a good thing.

The scenes in the game and the ending were beautiful.
Zackis surely one of the best Final Fantasy Characters. I liked how they portrayed him and it was a blast.

Well I sure do, In fact I think it's a perfect game, I could replay it a million times and not get sick of it, I love every track of the soundtrack, I love all the characters, I love the combat system, the graphics, the leveling up system, the side quests, and I love the story most of all.

OT: everyone can have their opinion but here I draw a line, you are seriously deluding yourself if you think the game is perfect
I liked the game and the game have flaws that I just cant see ANYONE like, sure you might be able to ignore it but I can't belive you support it


I liked crisis core but FF VII is still a better game
but there are games better then FF VII^^

Ok dunno, i like when i have full controll at my leveling like i had in FF7.

I found FFVII to be a head and shoulders better game (and the plot inf FFVII made more sense, too).

Both are awesome games, but FF7 is just perfection to me.

Crisis Core rocked!! I love both of them though. I can't choose!!! I still don't get why Square hasn't Released Crysis Core on the psn store yet... do they hate money? I guess the same reason that chrono chross, vagrant story (in the USA), musashi, mana, parasite eve 1 and 2, bushido blade, azure dreams , legend of leaia , legend of dragoon, etc.... are not on the store either.. Sometimes I think that they think if we buy the old ps1 games again we will be stuck playing these long rgps and not buy new games.. other than that it makes no freakn sense!Midnightshade29
