10 Days Until Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Mar. 15
In what will be the sixth entry in Square Enix's let-us-torture-you-with-the-idea-of-remaking-FFVII project, aptly titled the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, the PSP exclusive RPG Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII will land in the U.S. on March 25th. The game is set seven years before the events of Final Fantasy VII (let us refresh you: Sephiroth tries to kill the planet by sucking all the planet's energy to himself, so Cloud kills him instead), and puts SOLDIER members Zack and Sephiroth on a mission together to resolve the disappearance of a fellow SOLDIER member in Wutai. Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and yes, Sephiroth, are all back.
Visually the game should have you drooling RPG excitement, and it was reviewed favorably by Japan's faux-prestigious bastion of video game journalism Famitsu. But all of this doesn't make it any less torturous. It is, afterall, not really an actual remake of Final Fantasy VII. I'm not sure how much closer Square Enix could come to remaking FFVII without actually doing it. There have been two feature animated films and four games milking the series to death. Crisis Core even strongly resembles what you could picture a FFVII remake looking like.
Oh well, I'll buy it. I have to. We all have to. Stay tuned for updates on the game's launch later this month.
