I was blown away...
I really want to play this game now simply because I love the style that they choose for the VII series. It's futuristic with swords... that's just brutal. Also, VII hasn't died yet, and I'd love to see a remake, but I am so very curious about Zack's story before the events of VII. If anyone's played it, let me know and tell me what it's like and how awesome it is...cause I want a PSP..
Post by: Neophyte on March 03, 2008, 07:14:40 pm
The gameplay is more of a Kingdom Hearts style, with the same old Materia and Limit Breaks. You only control Zack throughout the whole game, but the gameplay is still pretty good. The best thing about the game is the soundtrack, which sounds very well done IMO. The graphics looks insane, and the FMV's obviously look great. Good enough for you to buy a PSP? Sure.
I don't know what else to say. It's a Final Fantasy game?
By the way, put more effort into your post. Post some screenshots of the game or something. This looks like one of those gamefaqs topics right now.

I heard on a podcast that it actually plays a little like Parasite Eve or something because you have an interval in between each attack or something like that. But yeah the previews generally report that it won't be the best PSP game ever but that it's a pretty good game.
I hate to backseat mod but yeah your post is pretty bad and will probably get locked if you don't make it a little better.
Also doesn't this game come out in a few weeks?
Post by: Marcus on March 04, 2008, 05:30:56 am
As far as the story goes, I can't read Japanese but it's basically Zack's story and it follows the decline of Sephiroth's sanity, how and why Shinra was battling Wutai, the origin of the buster sword, and it talks about Zack, Aeris, and Tseng's relationship with each other. Oh yeah, Yuffie is in it and she's like 10 but still wears short shorts and jumps around a lot.
I would say this game has the best graphics out of any handheld but I recently played Silent Hill Origins which has actual DYNAMIC LIGHTING (something I didn't even know was possible on the PSP) and pretty much blew me away. The graphics in Crisis Core are still top notch, though because, well, if you can count on Square doing anything right it's making purty polygons.
Uh... best FF spinoff yet. I know that's not saying much but it's something.
Post by: maladroithim on March 04, 2008, 03:36:17 pm
the origin of the buster sword,
It's funny that Cloud's massive sword is this iconic image because in the game it was a really crappy piece of equipment that you were happy to replace as soon as possible.

It plays kind of like a solo Kingdom Hearts except there's no crappy platform segments and the camera isn't deadlier than the enemies are. The game's not particularly difficult but it does force you to use all your abilities and stuff and you never feel like you're too underpowered or overpowered at any point in the game since leveling up is so esoteric.I was watching some videos on gamespot the other day and the battles seemed more reliant on the slot machine in the corner. What's the deal with that? And please tell me that it doesn't have as big a role as it appeared to. I don't want another Chain of Memories-esque battle system (with even less control than the cards)

also, i'm lightweight astounded at how good they made it look, given that it's on the psp. it also sounds like it's easily the least hackneyed, transparent attempt at fanservice of all the ff7 spin-offs (although i don't know a whole lot about dirge of cerberus or whatever, so maybe it's not horrible either), but i'm still not especially hopeful; like marcus said, being on top of a giant pile of shit is nothing to brag about.
i'll GIVE IT A GO, but only because i can download it in like twenty minutes, because i would never pay just to satisfy the vague curiosity i have as to whether it'll be godawful or just mediocre.

Nah, it's got a huge amount of fanservice. The game opens with a nod towards FF7's opening scene where Zack rides to Mako #8 or whatever on a speeding train. He proceeds to cut a path through dozens of wu-tai soldiers and ends up battling a behemoth before he gets his ass kicked by Sephiroth. Zack uses the same cell phone Cloud does in the movie, all the characters are super cool looking and make these ridiculous poses and faces in conversations, and Yuffie appears as a 13 year old lolikon in shorter shorts than she had before.
I had fun playing it and I can't really say shit about the story because I don't know moonspeak but like all the other FF7 spinoffs it's pretty glorious, fluffy fan material. Like you said, this is just not as big of a piece of shit as Dirge and Advent were but that's not saying much.
Post by: headphonics on March 06, 2008, 07:44:41 am
i really, really hoped it would just be, "here's a little background on ff7," and nothing more, with no gay advent childrenesque bells and whistles. i mean, it's been a while since i played it (a long while), but ff7 had a pretty heavy amount of backstory and significant events/characters that took place/existed before the game even began, so this is arguably the MOST justifiable spin-off yet. you can always try to say, "hey, characters like vincent and reno needed flushing out," but that can be argued of a lot of supporting characters in most games, and advent children was just a wholly unnecessary and mostly incomprehensible excuse to have cloud and sephiroth fly around and backflip between motorcycles in amazing cg visuals, but i had hopes that this would at least just be them legitimately trying to set the tone for the original game, and not another attempt at making some money.
i didn't have anything resembling high hopes, but i really thought it might not be that rabidly gratuitous in its execution. the premise, at least, seemed like it could be legit, so for a while i thought they maybe just wanted to make a decent prequel to a game that could actually have sort of used one. guess i was wrong!

There are no other playable characters, neither old or new, but there are some new faces in the game. Zack's mentor, Angeal for instance. There's also the new baddie Genesis and Shin-Ra's mission dealer, Lazard.

It's really all hearsay for the most part, seeing as how few people have played it, but I really haven't heard a bad (exceedingly bad) thing about it, and extra bonus points towards people fluent in Japanese, because they say the story is good too. Obviously though, you need to have played and be familiar with the FF7 plot and universe to really get anything out of it, though. So, I'm seriously considering buying it when it's released.
And Marcus, it's Wutai, not Wu-Tai, hahah.

The game DOES HAVE AN EXP SYSTEM. It's invisible, but its there. I hit gamefaqs after I finished it, and I read all about it.
Post by: Sarah on April 03, 2008, 08:37:45 pm
The game isn't even all that great. WOO THANKS SQUARE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A GAME WITH A BATTLE SYSTEM THAT I NEVER HAVE TO THINK TO USE. Next generation: unreliable leveling! Dodge attacks that only work sometimes (adds drama)! And most important... a bunch of numbers that constantly grow but have absolutely no relevance to anything. WATCH YOUR SP, WOULDN'T WANT IT TO FALL BELOW THE 20,000 MARK. HP? We got it. MP? You bet. AP? Completely useless but it's there; just for you, players! Did you miss Aeri(s)(th)?? How about Cloud? Play Crisis Core now and you'll get to experience what they were like...... five years prior to the events of the end of the world.
Buy now and get an extra bonus: A million side quests! Yeah! More side quests than you would believe! 32 hours worth! If your thumb falls off from mashing x... we may even send you a new (mako infused) one! You can be a member of soldier too!
I think the only impressive thing about this game is the graphics.
edit: oh my bad aten, you added a reference to a faq which tells you something unimportant that really doesn't help anyone at all because the reels are still completely random, even if you've met the criteria for leveling.

It doesn't matter what YOU say, I like it and it's engraved onto my soul lol and basically, with every review being a 9/10 or 9.5/10, I guess everyone else liked it too, so quit being a sourpuss.
Oh yeah, who actually DID all those missions? I did like, 20% of em, but I got some really really neat stuff. And the Ultimate Weapon, if you steal from/mug it, you can get 99 Phoenix Downs at once :shocking: And then she slaughters you xD

It's a spoiler. Btw I didn't know he had aerith on his mind. Thanks.
The game itself is alright. I would say this and Chains of Olympus are about equal. So far the story in this game is pretty shit though. I mean even though I kind of know what's going to happen, I feel like they could have done a better job. The voice acting is what really gets me. It's so...HORRIBLE. I'm thinking of getting the redub version so I can play this game later on hard mode and not get annoyed at how bad Zack's English voice actor is.
And there is some strategy involved in the battle system, but ONLY if you're playing on hard mode, or you want to do everything in the game like fight Minerva. You could easily breeze through this game just mashing X.
By the way Square is dumb for not having party members. WHY NO PARTY MEMBERS!?
God that pisses me off so much. No party members. It looks perfectly logical to have people assist you throughout the game. But no, this is Crystalis/Quest 64. Only one player SORRY.
I would say this game is no higher than an 8.0. It has too many flaws. Don't get my wrong, I really like it, but it could have been so much more.
Brave Story is still my favorite PSP RPG.
Edit: I do quests more than the actual missions. It's good because you get shit that raises your max HP to 99999 and max MP to 9999.
Not every review site gave this game a 9.0(G4 lol).

Post by: Neophyte on April 04, 2008, 12:29:58 am
I don't mind lots of the voice acting(Sephiroth, Tseng, Aerith), but I really can't stand Zack's. Especially when he is actually trying to be serious, it just sounds even worse. Maybe it's just me but they could have used somebody better for someone's voice you're going to hear throughout the game.

also, aten are you dumb or just really naive, or what? no one cites what reviewers think because a) ff7 is overrated and it was pretty obvious people were going to drool over this, regardless of its quality, purely on the basis of what it's a prequel to, and b) GUESS WHO PAYS THE BILLS? very rarely do reviewers give such high-profile games poor reviews, because to do so would very quickly make their relationship with advertisers (i.e. the real source of revenue, not subscriptions/memberships) tenuous. so saying "uymmmmm ign seems to think its great" isn't really saying anything at all!
but yeah i already made some gay post about what i think, so i will just say for a third or so time that it has a pretty dumb story, dumb characters, and shallow gameplay based around needlessly complex/random/difficult to understand mechanics considering none of the changes go beyond the level of superficiality. the fact that you have to go to gamefaqs after you beat the game to even understand how combat worked says a lot. i'd say i was disappointed, but i'm really not.

I don't know, Dirge of Cerberus or whatever got universally poor reviews and pretty much every critic worth their salt blasted Advent Children for being DBZ with Final Fantasy characters. I enjoy this game but I can chalk that up to not expecting it be something it's not specifically a replacement for FF7 or a console game in general. I only play the game in short 30 minute bursts and for something that I bust out on trains and bus rides I don't find it boring or too contrived.
I can understand this opinion changes radically if you actually sit down and play it like a normal console game but I play handheld games on the go so my opinion of them is usually based on how well they can be picked up and played.

I say I was surprised by Crisis Core, this is mostly because of Dirge of Cerberus. After that putrid -thing- my hopes for CCFF7 were setting themselves up for let down. As I mentioned the setting and music and characters flowed exceptionally well with this crazy ol' FF7ology.
In the end... 'whatever'. I'd rather a typical Final Fantasy. Side-view same ol' battles. Sorry, but it was and still is highly appealing. Ah well. It passed the time. Crisis Core is alright in my books.

Was Cissnei supposed to be Elena? Since she said that's not my name, and Elena was the only girl in the Turks I can remember, I am wondering that's what they were eluding to.
Also, also, chapter 10 was pretty cool! The music really helped a lot when you finally get back to town and he was getting dragged away.
I think the best part about this is it shows how big a faggot Cloud really is. In Final Fantasy 7 he STEALS zacks identity basically, and pretty much completely forgets about him except in TWO SCENES. Zack was like the BEST BFF EVER and Cloud shits all over his memory AND steals his fucking girlfriend. What a douche.

I didn't really like the game too much. I guess it was okay though. fusing materia and doing missions was sort of fun I suppose, if only because I love getting super-powerful really early on (POWERGAMING HEH). the game was really easy even when I got too lazy to do that and my power starting averaging out. I don't think my hp ever went below max in the final battle because of that crazy shit where you break your hp/mp/ap limits. basically I wish the game would have just explained more of the mechanics, or better yet, not had so much complicated and arbitrary shit to explain. I don't really give a shit about that story because I don't remember anything beyond "sephiroth is evil" and "cloud thinks he's zack" from ff7.
it's definitely better than a lot of the games on PSP but it's really not that great.
Post by: The Dude on April 04, 2008, 09:24:20 am

That all depends what happened in that Before Crisis cellphone game. A lot of backstory and sidestory stuff happened in that, and it took place between FF7 and Crisis Core. They should release FF7BC on... say, PSP, so those of us who don't own that certain japanese cellphone can finish the FF7 series.

Nah, she's not Elena, just another Turk. He 'real name' is just alluding to whatever you named her in Before Crisis. There's plenty of Turks (maybe around 10, at least?), but most of them are in hiding by the time Final Fantasy 7 (the main game) rolls around.

It wasn't intentional. Due to the Jenova Cells in Cloud's mind, he unintentionally replaces his own past with Zacks as a subconscious way to fill in the time gaps, so he could function. He didn't do it on purpose, it was Jenova's influence on Cloud's mind that made Cloud mix up his own past with Zack (and he really believed it himself)
As for my opinion of the game, it was pretty fun! I wasn't a fan of all of the story sequences (the game could have done without Genesis/Angeal and whatnot), but several clarifications of the story, the Wutai War, the Nibelhiem incident, Zack on the run with Cloud, how they met, and Zack/Aerith's relationship, were done really well, and I'm glad Square gave us a second look. I liked the voice acting, and except Angeal sounding a little stale at times, I think it's really solid. The gameplay is fun too. Normal IS very easy, but Hard Mode is another animal entirely. The game is really worth the game in Hard Mode, and that's what really drives me to play. Overall, I like the game, and it's very solid.
Post by: Sarah on April 04, 2008, 06:51:25 pm
is chapter 10 the one with the hub dungeon and there are paths to a bunch of other dungeons? that was probably my favorite part.no it's the one where angeal and cloud break out and you have to protect him. it really all showed how good a guy zack was and i think the music also made him seem more HEROLY while he was striking down the soldiers dragging him away. plus the sniper shit was awesome
What the hell is before crisis? Is that the game that was originally named Crisis Core for the cell phone that looked like balls? You play as cloud being a turk or something?

Before Crisis is a cell phone game that originally came out in Japan. It takes place a number of years before FF7, and you play as one of the Turks. The game introduces several other Turks besides the ones we know of in FF7, and the story mainly revolves around Shinra trying to stop AVALANCHE, a terrorist group, (while they have the same goals, its not the same AVALANCE that Barret's in, it's a larger, worldwide, more violent one)
Cloud isn't a Turk, but you do see him in his regular grunt status in a mission or two. I could go on, but it's easier to just wiki it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Crisis:_Final_Fantasy_VII)

On the bright side this gives me copious parody material.

I mean, yeah, the combat was boring, you didn't ever need to do anything but attack and dodge, but...
I really enjoyed the story, which was what I was playing it for, anyway. And then I watched Advent Children, and it made sense! The strange thing is, after finishing the game, I actually wanted to play it again, a few weeks later. That hasn't happened before for me, ever.

After beating this game, I really had an urge to pull out FF7 and continue onward. Then I remembered that FF7 was terribly translated, and devoid of gay Kingdom Hearts sayings like, "Follow your dreams if you want to be a hero" or whatever. The story sequences that had these idiotic banters, or repetative quotes from LOVELESS annoyed the hell out of me. Worse, was that horrendous slotmachine battlesystem. UGH. I don't think I'll ever touch this UMD again.

Yeah, were those turks who picked up Genesis, the Sephiroth clones in FF7AC? Or were they from that Deep Ground[whatever] soldier unit? It's been awhile since I played Dirge of Cerberus, and I know all that Project G stuff they alluded too happened. Dunno man. This series lost me.
The two Deep Ground Soldiers are Weiss and Nero from Dirge of Cerberus. Both their names appear in the credits as well.
