It's strange how the game never got released digitally. With 7R coming it'd be a great time to release so people can play as Zack again.

Think we’ll ever get a rerelease of Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core?
- Thread starter Vic Damone Jr.

Strip everything out involving him, legalities solved and the game is much better as a result.
Chances are high it is retconned in some ways with the remake and they potentially could include some more flashbacks in one of the ff7 remake sequels that you play as Zack becaue they are going to need some more content to pad these games to desirable amount of content to sell.
I think that's more likely at this point than you see this game back, I think they want to focus on one narrative for ff7 at present. That FF7 compilation might not be considered canon anymore. They want to forget about dirge and all that shit.

Is there a specific reason why it's unlikely? Was this one of the games Squenix was embarrassed to admit they lost the code for? I mean, they ported Final Fantasy Type-0 over to consoles, why wouldn't they want to make some comparatively easy money with a low-cost port as a "While you're waiting," hold over?
Don't see why not, a few years ago people said they wouldn't remake FFVII after 'false alarms' with the 2005 teaser and port annoucement at PS Experience 2014. How long did it take for them to re release Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy IX? It's quite popular and as far as handheld spins off go.
That would be great with a playable flashback and all. Crisis Core would have been forgettable if not for that song and the meta story telling using the DMW.
If there's a license issue they might have to replace Gackt's face as Genesis, what a fucking travesty...
I don't think so, and would also prefer they didn't. There's like an hour of that game that might be worth reincoporating into the remake though, but that's about it.
Playing as Zack during the final few hours of his life in particular would be cool, but too much work to justify.

MULTIPLE VOTES ARE ALLOWED
Also nah there is no way. I'm annoyed too because it'd be great to replay on the vita.

Couldn't they just...change Gackt's character model? I guess the FMV scenes would need to be redone, but that's a small price to pay if they're gonna be remastering the game anyway.
Every game will potentially rerelease at some point; eventually, I think AI will be able to reproduce and remaster pretty much every game.
Everything FF7 is going to be around remake, they are positioning it as a new entry point for all players. You don't want any of that old baggage.
The game isn't very good and the director quit too so no one is there to internally push for it either. 99 percent sure it's dead, just like how they will never touch 3rd Birthday or the Type-1 game they teased and everyone forgot about!!!

Popular theory is that it's because of some contractual issues with Gackt, whose likeness was used for Genesis, the character he also voiced.
Or it's related to the music license for 'Why' by Ayaka.
I really want to play Dirge of Cerberus again. Sadly, it looks bad with a ps2 on a 4k tv with an adapter to hdmi. Shame it never could come to the PS store. I really enjoyed third person shooters and to see final fantasy cutscenes and story with one, was awesome. Especially when it was VII. I also appreciated the gun customization? Or changing weapons / range and what not. I hope to see Vincent in a future VIIR game play somewhat similar.
Just wondering, can they simply redesigned genesis so it didnt look like gackt if the likeness is really the issue
He is also involved with the game soundtrack if I am not mistaken.
I really want to see
Cloud seeing the end of Zack plus walking with the Buster Sword unable to lift it. Imagine one of these games ending with that moment but the player walking with Cloud toward Midgar in the distance until he collapses. Like you could see the city getting closer and closer and then bam. I think they could make it really dramatic overall.
I believed that Square would release a 13 remaster or crisis core, but no News at e3 kinda buried that hope.
I feel like they're more likely to integrate parts of it into the FF VII remake series or remake it to capitalize on people hooked on the FF VII remakes.
A straight re-release seems unlikely because of all the licensing issues, and the fact that it probably wouldn't be well received running with little to no graphical improvements (other than increased resolution). I dunno that they'd try to remaster it—Type 0 was a bit of a challenge for them.

Why would Gackt be such a big issue though? Taking other re-releases Square has done in the past for example Eyes on Me is still in the FF8 ports (as far as I know) while Type-0 had that song by Bump of Chicken intact when it was localized. The dude also has a million different looks but even ignoring that since the likeness is fairly documented would it be too big of a hurdle to sort out the legalese for that?
I thought that was Dirge? Didn't Crisis Core have that j pop song? Could be wrong though.
The only music issue is the main theme "Why"
That's owned by the artist.
Crisis Core's issue was a multitude over rights problems and etc. not just Gackt
They mentioned before about wanting to port it, but were always never outright saying why they can't

He did two songs, also he did the voice acting for the character himself.
If they ever do, I hope they revamp the combat. Like Dirge of Cerberus, the game left almost no impression at all.
Eyes on Me is a song written and composed by then Square Enix composer Uematsu. While Faye Wong singing the song could be an issue, it's not really when Squeenix owns the song outright I believe. Unlike say Gackt doing music for CC or any licensed music from any Jpop act or Leona Lewis.
