Quite Disappointing The first time you run through the game you realize a few things. 1: There is no really good materia tutorial, so you have to figure it out as you go. 2: NO SKIPPING CUTSCENES. This is so annoying when you loose a boss battle that you want to throw your PSP across the room. 3: NO CHECKPOINTS. When you die, you go back to the main menu, that's it. This is especially annoying when you loose a boss and especially when you have to keep going to get to it from the save point near it. 4: Difficulty is unbalanced between bosses to creatures which makes the game annoying. 5: Missions are either BORING or HARD. And you can't bring them into a new game +. After you beat the game you realize how annoying all these things and more are. And especially having to go back through boring cutscenes and cheesy story, not to mention horrible voice acting. So spare yourself the aggravation and broken PSP and skip this game, there's really only one good cutscene in the whole game and you can find it easily on YouTube. Don't buy this game.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII this game is so famously good, but a few extra notes... if an role-playing game is about getting into your role, then this game sets you up extremely well by giving your character some pretty amazing animations. i don't mean just the moves and materia in battle, but reactions in conversation, facial expressions (in the cutscenes that use the game engine), lip-synch for the english voiceovers, etc. if you are familiar with the final fantasy 7 universe, zack's perspective is a terrific point-of-view from which you'll get to see some key events, as well as take part in others. the new characters angeal and genesis have ties to old characters like sephiroth and zack himself. be warned, however, if you're not a fan of final fantasy 7, the story here may be bewildering, making the amount of time you'll need to spend on side quests and levelling a bit of a chore.
