(MP1st) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion Review - This 15-year old gets a worthy remaster though with some odd cutscene choices.
Square Enix Golden Week 2024 Switch sale has lowest prices ever for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, Dragon Quest I-III, and more.
The hugely popular Final Fantasy 7 universe shows no signs of slowing its expansion, so here's all the spin-off games released so far.
YouTube’s “NeoGamer” shared a cool video in which they compare Final Fantasy 7 Remake Rebirth and Crisis Core Remastered. It looks pretty interesting, so be sure to check it out.
How well the crisis core still stacks up to the next gen Remake ~ that's the point of the remake
And as Digital Foundry pointed out after playing the demo, the Rebirth has flaws and is not much an upgrade from Integrade and still has texture problems
Remake had the same type of texture flaws (rare ones at that) as this game and I disagree with DF in both cases. Rebirth is easily the best example of RPG graphics in 2024 just like Remake was in 2020.
Rebirth not looking much better than Integrade is perfectly acceptable. Considering it's now open world where the Remake was completely linear. Remake still looks amazing to this day, and Rebirth looks even better.
They did do an amazing job on Reunion though. Never thought I'd see the day we'd get a return of Crisis Core, lol.
Digital foundry always nitpicks ps5 games, but will look the other way when it comes to literally anything nintendo. They could put out a 240p game and DF would still praise it.
it's Crisis Core Reunion on PS5. I don't think anyone is expecting the graphics to be compared, but the design and to compare the same scenes between the two games.
A cleaned up PSP version vs a game built for the PS5 really? I can see the Tomb Raider trilogy remaster vs the PS1 versions. But using this is like night and day.
Of course rebirth looks much better... but I am surprised how good crisis core reunion looks too, I have never played that one.
IMO shows how great of a job they did with Crisis Core to bring it up to the Remake's standards/style.
I really enjoyed Crisis core remaster - the only thing l hated was the easy to miss side quests. like legit if you didnt run out and talk to a woman on your first HQ visit you missed on the optional final boss cause no 100%. like cmon. let us replay chapters to get the content.
Which is why lm glad they took that feedback and confirmed that nothings missable or timelocked in rebirth.
8.5 seems like the right spot for this. Maybe a 9... I see a lot of reviews giving this game essentially 6's or 7's which is really mind boggling. The PSP game is STILL great to this day. This has only made it better with graphics, gameplay updates, fully voiced dialogue, etc. And it's not even a full priced game. (Which granted, it shouldn't be with its playtime for just the story.) The only critiques I have, are the small loading screens between scenes. Which break up the flow just the smallest bit. As well as sometimes the voices don't quite match the mouths at times on the English version. The facial expressions sometimes miss the mark as well on certain scenes from the original.
Other than that, it's an amazing game. Nearing the end, and I just don't get all these lower scores. It was at least an 8/10 game on PSP. And this version is pretty much better in every way. (Unless you get hung up about voice actors. Don't get me wrong, I very much prefer OG Zack's voice. But the new one isn't ruining the game by any stretch of the imagination.)
