I love this game. Not in small part due to the fact that it made me cry like a small child at the end. A small, fetal child with no mother. I really should get back to my file, and finishing maxing out my stats. And doing all the missions. And fighting secret final boss for best equipment...yeah,

Yeah there are alot of missions to do. The materia fusion is kind of confusing... there's so many combinations!! I love the part where Zack meets Aerith, I was really looking forward to that part! When he met Cloud I was like I know it's Cloud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've managed to play it for all of about a half hour so far. I'm sure I will have another chance on my next business trip, though, so I'm looking forward to it. I find the battle system a little awkward and hectic for its own sake so far, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Having loved FF7, I actually pretty much hated Crisis Core.
I do not really know why but Crisis Core simply seemed to me to be a chore to play.

However, on another note I should say I HAVE completed Crisis Core.

I agree with that 100%. I've made it to what i think might be the end but it physically and mentally wears me out.

A creature born from eternal darkness and heavenly light. One single entity, birthed of two opposites. They somehow coexist, to create I, the Lunarian Prince...

I've been meaning to try this game out for YEARS but never got around to it for various reasons.

First, it was that I didn't own a PSP.
Then, it was that I hadn't played FFVII.
And now, it's there are SO many games I want right now, I want to have money for them.

I think that the combat is kinda silly, with the slots system and everything, but it definitely moves quick, has neat attacks and animations, and kept me interested for an extended period. It also gives you a greater appreciation for Zack, who's a very likable protagonist.

I dislike Crisis Core alot. I dislike how Zack takes away alot of what is meant to be Cloud's game, and the rock and roll, death-metal type music and the repetitive battles, that were almost the exact same battles over and over again. And I disliked Angeal and Genesis alot. I also dislike the fact that the changed the original FF VII storyline with this. I want to sell my copy really badly.

Currently looking forward to Don't Know.

I think that Crisis Core is the FFVII compilation game that really breaks the stereotype of bad FFVII compilation games. I think that the story was really well done; especially, of course, the ending. Like Mike said, it is capable of making the player cry shamelessly. I can understand the motivation behind the "it takes the emphasis away from Cloud" arguement, yet I think there was really no other way to tell the events leading up to FFVII- Cloud was a blank state mentally upon the opening of the original game, and thus would be a poor source for insight on the events leading up to it. In addition, while FFVII was Cloud's game, it certainly wasn't Cloud's world. There are important stories to be told by the other important people within it.

This is something weird,i feel the complete opposite:liked crisis core hated ff7 the original.

I disliked the music in the original one and loved the crisis core soundtrack.

yeah I think he is too. I haven't played it in a week or two because I've been busy but I'm going to play it right now! I love both of them, the original soundtrack is my favourite.

Having never really gotten into FF7, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Crisis Core.

I found the action elements in the battle system to be engaging. The protagonist is upbeat but not grating, the plot's disjointed but has some emotionally effective moments.

I extended my playtime during my last business trip last week by a factor of about 6x, and I'm really hooked on this game now. I've gotten used to the combat system and find it pretty fun, and like others, I find Zack more and more likeable the more I play. I've even had my PSP out in the evenings to play while I watch TV this week, and that's something I almost never do.

Can't wait to get some more time to knock off some more missions and advance the story further - I've just now gotten to the point where the "enemy" (to avoid pointless spoilers, and since I'm not sure who the true enemy might yet be) have come into Midgar and the Shinra building.

Right now I'm a little more hooked on FFVII, but I have been doing alot of the Crisis Core missions. I feel so accomplished when there's no new ones popping up but there are some there that are too hard. :/ I've got the option to go with Sephiroth to Nibelheim now...I think. (Hope that's not a spoiler, I don't think it is) As I said doing lots of missions so haven't gone back to Shinra headquarters in a while! Is it just me or is their any real need for materia fusion? I have used it once, I made "Dark Thunder" and have not used it since. I've managed the game so far without it but I did choose the "normal" option at the beginning. How much harder is the "harder" option, does anyone know? oh and I do love the soundtrack on Crisis Core too by the way! Especially Aerith's theme..It's beatiful to listen to!

I beat this game this afternoon.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

WHY CAN'T I STOP CRYING. This game has absolutely devastated me. I'm just amazed at how well they told the story - you should know what's going to happen going in, but they use the first half of the game to build Zack up as a really great, likeable character, and it even has somewhat of an upbeat feel to the game. Then Nibelheim happens, everything is turned upside-down, you remember what's going to happen, and it kills you. Fantastic game overall. Makes me want to play FF7 again.

I ended up 100%ing it because that's how I roll. When I found out that you can steal a block of 99 Phoenix Downs from Minerva in one shot with the Brigand's Glove, Materia Fusion was all over. It just got super broken.

And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild

Can't agree more, I'm completely reluctant to finish the game simply because of the ending

It's great though. As long as it succeeds in some sort of emotional response, I consider it a success.

...Isn't it sort of retcon-y though? Or am I getting it confused with Last Order?

At least there was no crossdressing.

Can't improve upon that point so I'll wholeheartedly agree! Just finished the game. Cried alot. Enough said.

Did anyone see at the end of the game where it mentioned the composer Nobuo Uematsu and in brackets next to it it said smile please??? Made me smile! I thought it was a nice little thought!

I thought Cloud's crossdressing in VII was funny!! It's a picture I can't imagine, if they remake I really would love to see that in particular. XD

man, ive only played the first fifteen minutes of crisis core because someone let me borrow it...during school i might add...but i loved it!! i was only mad becuase i dont know if you can chain your attacks together, but nevertheless i loved the first fifteen minutes of it!! but what sucks is one of my old friends showed me how it ended. i didnt understand it, nor did i know what crisis core was at the time, so i didnt cry, but i bet once i acually play though the game, i just might cry

I played this game and it's really good although it got nasty sometimes it was a great game , good music , good graphics , good story (i haven't played original FF7 completely yet i'm in disc 2) and nothing else to say.
