Square Enix randomly celebrates Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core's 13th Anniversary - HD port incoming? [Open Spoilers all things FF7]
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
I'd be Gongag-all over it, but I have my doubts. I'm ready for CC to just be elements added to the Remake and that's it.
Same 100%. Maybe it just favoritism, but Zack was the only VA change in Remake that didn't sit well with me.
We need a Crisis Core HD remaster for 2 reasons.
1. Bringing the superior Zack VA to modern consoles (KH 2.8 doesn't count)
2. Cissnei

For the life of me, I do not understand why they didn't release an HD remaster of this in the release build-up for FFVIIR.
My only memory of this game was my high school girlfriend stole someone's PSP to play just this game. So if it gets a remake I'll probably play it since it must have been good if she stole for it. At least I hope
A port or remake of Crisis Core that makes the story easily accessible is going to be pretty important as the VII Remake series continues.
Nah, from what I saw, this seemed ilke a unanimous opinion. FF7R Zack was the one recast nobody jived with, which is such a tragedy considering what a beloved character Zack is.

It would turn off more customers than it would bring in. Seriously, I went and tried to replay this game about 4 months ago, but it absolutely does not hold up in almost every sense. Whereas some PSP games managed to recreate their parent franchise relatively well (KH BBS, Armoured Core, etc), Crisis Core is filled with compromises and then some. Lots and lots of boneheaded design decisions too... Do y'all remember the slot machine and that level-ups are literally random?
The soundtrack is great though.
Not sure why they would bother at this point, the greater lore of this game has gone ignored and/or is in need of retconning anyway.
I guess a 'another tale' straight port to put it out there would be cool. I wouldn't mind going through that story again for a laugh

How is it random to celebrate an anniversary? Like...an anniversary is a pretty set thing. It happens on a certain date.
Random would be celebrating the 13th anniversary 5 months ago...or 6 months from now.

Crisis Core has one of the most un-fun battle systems I've ever experienced
And the electric guitar tracks are obnoxious
as is the ACTIVATING COMBAT MODE
and the dull environments
and the retcons
and Genesis

Crisis Core was already an adapted-ish version of the Kingdom Hearts battle system, so a lower-budget remaster/remake of this game using 7R's assets to tide people over until 7R-2 (or maybe 7R-3?) would kind of make sense.

Something else to consider
SQEX has said that they want to have all of their legacy titles available for modern platforms. Games like Crisis Core are the trickiest due to the licensing issues, but I don't think it's impossible, especially after FFVIIR has increased interest in FFVII again. At worst they'll make us pay premium for a quick HD remaster (even more so than usual, lol) to offset whatever possibly high (re)licensing costs there are, at best maybe they'll reuse much of the work they have done & will do on FFVII Remake (Part 1 & beyond) to remake it with FFVIIR level assets. I'd imagine it could be a relatively quick project if they reuse as much work from FFVIIR as possible, though if it still feels like a PSP game, that might be a bit pointless. And I'm not sure if it deserves/can justify a more thorough remake.
Damn you!
The game was middling with wonderful moments when it hit on FF7 story notes. I remember emulating this on PPPSSSPPP (my shots below), just to see it run, and it looked really good. Certainly passable as a Switch title, even better if they could get some of the texture/models a little lick of paint.
I mean, sure, they deserve each other.
Edit: okay, that's a bit harsh. Not a fan of most of the things in Crisis Core but at least it isn't as bad as DoC.
I honestly won't vote as I literally don't know what goes on in SE mind.
The game was supposed to get Type-0 treatment years ago after the announcement of the Remake and before Part 1 get released.

I would throw all the money at Squeenix if they remade Crisis Core using the FFVIIR assets, but they need to get the original cast back. Rick Gomez and George Newbern are still the definitive voices for Zack and Sephiroth. 🤔
The game wasn't even great when it released. I have played a little bit recently and yeah it's not held up well.
The story of CC is a perfect example of Anime Just Be Doin Shit, but I was soo impressed with Zack's characterization, the humanizing of Sephiroth, and general interpersonal interactions.
Genesis felt like a bad OC and I really don't think the game would lose anything by cutting him out.
One thing I just was a little disappointed by is the lack of Cloud/Zack buildup. I feel like we missed out on seeing a core of their relationship, so their bond didn't feel super deep or believable to me. If it's ever remade, I hope they delve a lot deeper into the foundations of their friendship.
