Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Reviews
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion goes the extra mile in bringing back the story of Soldier First Class Zack Fair and how it ultimately shapes several key characters in the FF7 franchise. From its greatly improved visuals and production values to its faster-paced combat, Reunion goes above and beyond even the best remasters out there. Some parts can still feel dated despite its best efforts. Overall, however, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is a remake done right.
Crisis Core Reunion is a thoughtful, high-quality remaster of the PSP classic. The main story remains melodramatic, but the revamped battle mechanics deliver lots of baddie-bashing fun.
FF7 Crisis Core Reunion is neither more nor less than an old school game with an angelic face that stills has some charm.

Crisis Core is still a favorite after all these years and it's even better with greatly improved combat. The character models aren't necessarily an improvement and the price is too high, but this is a reunion that's well worth attending.
After almost 15 years, the story of Zack Fair has escaped the confines of its UMD prison and has emerged as one of Square Enix's best remaster offerings that new and old fans of Final Fantasy VII need to experience.
Those invested in the series who haven't played this will find the best way to play it, while those with cursory interest may be left wanting.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is almost undeniably the definitive version of the 2007 action RPG, as despite its issues it still succeeds at presenting the player with an unforgettable experience.
Crisis Core Reunion is an excellent example of a remake. Crisis Core looks and plays better than ever before with updated controls and the story is just as good as the original if you're someone who buys into brooding anime boys. If you're wanting to refamiliarize yourself with Zack's journey or replay this classic FF title then now is the perfect time!
Breathing new life into a decade-and-a-half-old PSP game, Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is a cracking remake of a JRPG that was already a pretty ruddy good in the first place. It definitely deserves a fair shake.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an incredible action RPG, don’t get me wrong. With it being ported to the Switch 2 with minimal compromises to be near parity to modern console versions, it’s a must have for a Switch 2 owner wanting to immerse themselves in Square Enix’s deep FFVII universe. It’s just a shame that those with the older Switch version have no way of porting their progress to this version, even if the graphics are more beautiful than ever.
Overall, I enjoyed Crisis Core Reunion's 10-ish-hour story well enough, and I'm grateful to know more about Zack before his anticipated reappearance in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Unfortunately, the game's age shows, with the random encounters and constricted corridors designed for a handheld released in 2004 not holding up as well on modern platforms in 2022.
Fans of the series have no excuse – they simply have to play Crisis Core! They’re in for some magical, touching moments. This is an almost Shakespearean story about chasing the dream of being a hero. Fans should know this game because it adds to the FFVII mythology.

Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII Reunion is a masterclass on how to remaster a game. It has revamped graphics, combat, and voice acting. However, the PSP core is still inside the pretty graphics. Still gotta deal with bite-size levels, poor lip flaps, upscaled grainy cinematics, and random encounters. Overall it is still a fantastic game.
Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion releases a cult classic from its outdated prison and revives it like a Phoenix Down. If you’ve ever played a Final Fantasy VII title, this is an essential experience.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is an impressive visual upgrade that, above all else, proves the quality of the original game yet again. Much of it can feel dated at times, but thanks primarily to its enjoyable combat system, it remains an easy game to recommend.
