Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion (SPOILERS) | The Completionist

I LOVE anything that is Final Fantasy 7 adjacent. From the original release to the Final Fantasy 7 remake, there's so much to explore and even better: complete. I have over 100 hours in Crisis Core already to bring you this review.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is the HD remaster version of the smash hit prequel to Final Fantasy VII. In addition to all graphics being remastered in HD, fully voiced dialogue and new soundtrack arrangements make for a dynamic new retelling of a beloved classic.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion follows the story of Zack Fair, a young warrior admired by the boy destined to save the world, trusted by men renowned as heroes of legend, and loved by the girl who holds the fate of the planet in her hands. The tale of Zack's dreams and honor—the legacy that connects him to Cloud—is revealed in full in this grand saga that has broken the limits of an HD remaster.

What always got to me:
Angeal: I don't use the Buster Sword unless I can help it. Use brings about rust, wear and tear.
Zack: Yeah I use the sword, but only smack them with the blunt backside to knock them out. Using the sharp end will chip the edge and blood will slowly allow rust to set in.
Cloud: Zack, I left the Buster Sword on the edge of a cliff overlooking Midgar as a memorial to you.

*Zack and Angeal in a rage due to the Buster Sword just being abandoned on a desert cliff, completely rusted and broken.*

It kinda bothers me when people say Cloud is "pretending" to be Zack, as that implies he's doing it willingly. But not only that, Cloud doesn't copy or even emulate Zack's personality during the first half of FFVII. His personality is basically a composite of how he viewed himself if he had joined Soldier, with his memories of events mixed up due to the mako poisoning and manipulation by Sephiroth/Jenova. Another thing people usually forget about Cloud is that even though he's 21 in FFVII, he was basically in a tube for 5 years so he's really mentally 16. His whole personality is a 16 year old's idea if what a cool Ex-SOLDIER is.

That transition to Aerith's Theme at the end was not fair. Warn a man before unleashing that heartbreaking melody! Jokes and emotional dam breakages aside, this was another great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[goddess-of-wisdom]

Even though their scenes are brief, I really love how soft Zack is with Cloud. Zack clearly sees that Cloud is just a very overwhelmed teenager and Zack’s support is one of the few moments of softness Cloud really gets in the series

Jirard is so close to finishing new game plus! A true baller move to say "you know what, I'll just do it all again"

[thebossthusiast]

Pretty awesome to see you covering this. I haven't had a chance to get the new version yet, but I love Crisis Core, and this video is a great surprise for me on Christmas Eve after a very rough month. Thanks for all you do.

[WinspearUltima]

I absolutely love watching these videos and it’s about time as last week I’ve just finished final fantasy VII crisis core reunion and it’s such an emotional game.

This is definitely a moving story to the legacy of my favourite final fantasy game.

[Animus_Altia]

I honestly love these more in depth Completionist episodes so much more than what we've had for a while. Not that what we've gotten has been bad at all, but I was one of the people that really missed the Spoiler Alert segments from the earlier episodes in the series.

Keep up the great work, Jirard!

[PSI_Nightshade]

The quest for 100% Buster Sword Proficiency is insane. Glad to see it was done.

[elfsong]

Zack: You will be my living legacy.
Cloud: *brain breaks*

[KalaamNozalys]

Man, I love your Buster Sword replica so much, just seeing it on your shoulder makes me happy

[yolomolo]

I’m pretty sure everyone knows this already but a niche detail that you should know is that hair, clothing and personality aren’t the only thing different from Zack and Cloud, the way they carry their sword as well. If you pay close attention, Zack wears it with the silver edge facing inward and cloud wears it facing outward

[FroBoy]

The day i came home with my PS5 copy I felt a need to pull out my old PSP along side my original Crisis Core copy. I thought to myself, "About to replay the journey again...gotta thank Zack one more time for him becoming not only my favorite FF character but one of my general favorites in fictional ones of all time. "

This time, unlike when I played this on PSP in highschool, I cried despite knowing how FF7 Remake is teasing a different reality.

[kingofthesharks]

Embrace your dreams, and whatever happens, protect your honor....as Completionist!

[solidskullz]

So glad that they remade this game. Crisis core was pretty good, but now the combat flows a lot better. Plus it was the perfect time to bring it back with the ff7 remake and all

[happyfoxes]

By far this game is all I need to know that square didn’t properly plan for the reboot of the compilation series – ruined the ff7 remake game by attempting to be clever with the bait & switch – and are now just spinning around in circles. I don’t want to hear anyone telling me the franchise reboot or remake couldn’t have been the same story when we see other games do that every year to great success or a mild success. Now we have a busted story with awkward characters that read and act like a fanfiction-net story, time line continuity errors and several more games of a storythat is a total butt pull making it up as they go along. Whats worse, Crisis Core is not making sales. The first game did not even sell well when it first came out so why dump x-x millions in a second that already has a troubled starting game? Nearly every company that does a remake for a big title gets it mostly right on the first try – square didn’t even attempt that. I want to know why.

Remember guys:
“Stay honorable, dignified and honest”

[TheMetalFacevillain]

Zack for the longest time was my favorite final fantasy character. Still might be. I think he's a rare case of that honorable good guy without any major flaws that somehow still resonate. Nowadays those types of heros struggle to be interesting with audiences, example Superman, but Zack I think with his leading through example and actually having to pay the consequences of living that honest life is what makes him so resonant. The dialogue in this game is not very good. All the genesis and clones bs also not very good imo. Zack though makes it all worth it. What a hero.

[dmwrobinson]

"stay honourable, dignified and honest" That quote aged like milk.

[deltaprime]

Yes I have been waiting for this one!!! The remaster is so good the gameplay feels so damn good
