Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation Portable. First released in 2007, the game is a prequel to the 1997 video game Final Fantasy VII and is a part of the metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, which includes other products related to the original game. Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII begins seven years before the start of Final Fantasy VII, and encompasses the events that take place until just before its beginning. The game's hero is Zack Fair, who was a minor character in Final Fantasy VII and the previous owner of the Buster Sword before Cloud Strife. He is a SOLDIER working for the Shinra Electric Power Company under Director Lazard Deusericus. The game tells the tale of Zack's battle against the villainous SOLDIER defector, Genesis Rhapsodos, and the other products of the Jenova Project. The opening sequence of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII mirrors that of Final Fantasy VII; both start in a train station and both protagonists jump off of a train. This is one of the many allusions within the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. #ff7 #ff7r #ff7remake #finalfantasy7remake #finalfantasy7 #aerith #aerithgainsborough #cloudstrife #zackfair #tifa #tifalockhart #crisiscorefinalfantasy7 #sephiroth #yuffie Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an HD remaster of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII, originally released for the PlayStation Portable in 2007.
