Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion Details and Release Date
Although it seems impossible to believe that Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 will finally get a remaster fifteen years after its original release, It is coming and has many improvements. We’re here to help you understand them.
What is Crisis Core?
For those of you who don’t know what Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is, let us explain it to you. The story of Final Fantasy VII’s original Final Fantasy VII centers around Cloud Strife, the main character who has suffered a lot of trauma and has lost his memories. He believes he was a SOLDIER in the Shinra Electric Power Company’s elite fighting force. Except… He wasn’t. Cloud’s best friend Zack Fair was. Crisis Core is the story that came before Final Fantasy VII.
This is the story of Cloud’s journey to becoming the man he is today, Zack’s impact on him and his world, Aerith’s conversation about the other SOLDIER, and how Cloud got his Buster Sword. The final fight between Zack and Shinra SOLDIERS is heartbreaking for those who have seen Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VII: Remake players may know this could go differently.
What Will The Remaster Do?
The Remaster is still in flux, so details are scarce. The release date and platforms for the game are known, as well as some details about the game. Square Enix explicitly describes the remaster as a remaster of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. As you can see from the trailer, the game will include updated 3D models, voiceovers, and new music arrangements. However, it is unclear if this is in the original Final Fantasy VII timeline. This is crucial because…
What Will This All Mean For Final Fantasy VII: Remake’s Twist Ending?
This is the simple answer: We don’t know. Square Enix is likely to keep the exact location of this game under wraps, even if they market it in the same way they did Final Fantasy VII: Remake. This game is a remaster, not a remake, suggesting that it will follow the original Crisis Core storyline. However, that’s also what people thought of Final Fantasy VII: Remake before its release.
We’ll explain the twist ending to Final Fantasy VII: Remake for those who don’t know. Zack Fair survived the assault of SOLDIER troops and took Cloud to Midgar. However, it is unclear whether this is the same or an alternate timeline. If Crisis Core VII Reunion ends with Zack carrying an injured Cloud into Midgar, this will be part of the Remake timeline.
Which Platforms Are The Games Releasing On?
This is a bit of a strange one. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Reunion is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It will also be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The Xbox One and Nintendo Switch don’t have Final Fantasy VII: Remake access, so the decision to release this remaster to those platforms is both mildly amusing as well as highly baffling. It will be released “This Winter,” but it should be noted that it could be released this year or very soon next year.
