We will pretend to be surprised, since we guessed all this thanks to a tweet from a decidedly well-informed leaker, but we will not pretend to be happy. After offering a remake to Final Fantasy VIISquare Enix has decided to make us relive the adventure of Zack with a remaster (which sometimes looks like a remake) of CrisisCorethe cult opus released on PSP, thanks to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.
Crisis Core, what is it?
First of all, you should know that Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is an episode released in 2007 on PSP (in 2008 with us) which tells us the story of Zack, a very important character in the lore FFVIIwhich doesn’t appear much in the base game (for good reason).
The story of the game takes place a few years before that of Final Fantasy VIIwhen Cloud is just an inexperienced member of Shinra, and highlights Zack through a story that will teach us more about Aerith, Sephiroth and many others, while introducing new characters, like Genesis.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is a remaster, or a remake?
We must admit that by taking a look at this first video, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion looks like a true full remaster, not just an HD smoothie as we are used to seeing lately.
We find completely redone models and much more detailed decorations, which sometimes make it pass for a remake, but Square Enix maintains the remaster designation.
The game’s dialogues will be fully dubbed here, the game system will be reworked to be more modern, as will the interface, the camera has been revised, the music will be entitled to new arrangements… In short, the work seems to be quite enough all the same. important.
When will Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion be released?
The remaster Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is therefore currently scheduled to be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch this winter.
Which, technically, means that it could arrive at the end of the year 2022, but also at the beginning of the year 2023. When a publisher indicates a release period during the winter, it is always a uncomplicated and it does not necessarily reflect exactly the correct dates of the seasons that we know, so patience until the announcement of the real date.
