Now I am a huge Final Fantasy 7 fan, thank god for my mum buying me the game for my birthday or I may have missed out on one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. I loved that game, great characters, great story, great game play, Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core was the reason I got a PSP, and the reason I wanted Crisis Core was because of the original Final Fantasy 7. Let's just say, I'm not enjoying this game.


How the hell do I centre this image?! Anyways, I own Advent Children on UMD and DVD, soon Bluray as well. I also own the original Final Fantasy 7, a decorated piece of glass saying 'Ben's Final Fantasy 7' room, Crisis Core of course and a limited edition Crisis Core PSP.

Why do I dislike this game? Well first off let's talk about the combat, it's slow, boring, repetitive and requires almost no skill. I really don't know what they were trying to do here, I mean, I win most battles because of that stupid slot wheel thing. I think the combat just lacks variety over all, it's simpl: cast magic, cast magic, cast magic, cast magic, block and then maybe bash X if you run out of teh pointzorz.

I mean, I don't have much of a problem with the story, because it's not milking the franchise as much as say, Advent Children, because it's based on something that was touched upon in the original game, What I do have a problem with though is the introduction of a random character that has never been mentioned before 'Genesis' another girly faced man witch. I just felt like this character was introduced to beef up the plot, because he's certainly not important in the overall FF7 plot

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this game, I'm just not a huge fan, and I think that's saying a lot coming from a Final Fantasy 7 fanboy.

I totally agree with this and i felt the same playing it. many times did i almost fall asleep while playing this in my bed.

another thing that is a pile of wank is the missions. what i tend to do in rpgs is do All the side quests 1st to get lots of cool power ups & then continue the story; that way, it feels more complete when i actually beat the game. But those smelly missions.. their all the same. go in, kill some dudes, open some chests, kill sum dudes, then fight a boss who is most of the time just a pallette swap of previous bosses. must i mention how many times have i seen that axe throwing ogre? lol

this game to me seems like squares answer to FF7 fanboys, and therefore maybe square got lazy with its development because there was no-way that any1 who played 7 (whether they liked or disliked) would not buy this game.

usually, if the rpg has a great story to tell but has terrible gameplay, i would just bite my lip and play through it anyway, but crisis core is making my lip bleed. lol
