Grapevine: Crisis Core
Reasantly the intertubes have been reporting more and more on Crisis Core for the PSP.
Crisis Core is (incase you don’t know) a spin off of Final Fantasy VII for the PSP.
This has got me personally very exited as I LOVED Final Fantasy 7 (and most of it’s sequels). After reading a preview or two on this title I have discovered that the materia system is back (possibly the greatest magic system EVER devised by man), be it a little restricted.
The game will feature around a character called “Zack Fair” who works for SOLDIER, the company who owns Midgar and are sucking the life out of the planet they live on. It is only a spin off and will not be a long hawl big sprawling RPG. It’s battle system seems to be very in tandem with the latest final fantasy offering (Final Fantasy XII) a kind of real time/turn based mash up, something which I feel fixed the issue of grinding in the Final Fantasy series.
Crisis Core will feature voice acting, in engine cut scenes , a really cool FMV intro sequence (ahh the good old days…) and has no official release date other than ‘about a month’ in the US. Be assured that I will be posting a review and first impressions (not necessarily in that order) when I import it.
