Despite hearing that 27 hours is "bite-sized, " I appreciate this review. Looks like a game to get a friend for Christmas.

[zmeston]

27 hours is "a bite-sized game"? That's a pretty big bite!

[saintallison]

I loved this game on the PSP! Very excited ro revisit it.

[Mark_o_Helm]

There is now Mayteria in this game? Is this a new gatcha mechanic?😁

[GrimJackal]

No connection to Remake? Hmmm. Considering how much Remake is tying in elements like Zach and (probably) more from this game, I'm not sure I'd quite say that. Maybe no direct connection, but knowledge of the characters and event sin CC will certainly make for a more enjoyable Rebirth, I'm willing to bet.

I don't think any JRPG will ever cast as big a shadow over the genre as FF7 did 😊

[alexmohamed]

Can't believe they changed the voice actors. The old actors were perfect.
But what upsets me the most is they didn't fully remake the game
Should have just stuck with the FF7 remake gameplay and made the exploration and maps more open and interesting as they are not limited by psp power now
Also glad they didn't fuck with the story.
Thats all i gotta say.

This game was my bible long time ago. Zack Fair is a ROLE MODEL.

[MrBlazemaster]

The important question is do we still bawl at the end

[bigles]

the review is fine, tho i would suggest some better mike, with the tone of the voice there are some unpleasant spikes, nothing major, but it makes the listening less pleasant

[tommysalty]

Great review! I really love John's voice and cadence. A well-written and in-depth review, despite the time limit:)

[demrandom]

Having played the original, good to know I can skip the new version.

Still a pretty good game, though.

[kiskillilla]

Crisis Core was the reason I had bought a PSP back then😁
I'm not going to buy the game again just for nicer graphics and neater music though.

[aimeeandDito]

Love this game only reason why I got psp so I'm pumped for it great story too

[longdongsilver]

Man, 27 hours is considered bite size.

I had no interest in this game on its initial release, and I don't plan on getting the remastered version. However, I completely for remastered ports of older, console exclusive games. More of those, please (at least give us Infamous and Gravity Rush games on PC)

[jckorn]

I really hope this runs good on the Switch.
Of course it won't look as good as the PS4/PS5 versions but it should look amazing compared to the PSP original.
And it's designed as a handheld game.

[juakored]

So, it's good for those who either haven't played the original, but want to, and those who want to replay the story. In my case i'm neither, and the combat in my eyes felt like absolute dogshit (at least if put up to modern game standards). I think i'm just gonna sit this one out, at least until i want a refresher of how the story went or something, but so far since the combat is shit, there's 0 reasons for me to play something for the story, while i already know how it'll end. Also, i thought the cutscenes looked lazy and funny... now i know why... good thing they aren't charging full price for this though. That'd 100% be a fucking scam.

Can you change the audio from EN to JPN?

[BrennySpain]

I’m really glad they’ve made this new remaster it’s own thing and not an exact prequel to final fantasy 7 remake. It’s already kind of confusing on its own as it is.

2:35 that face when you realize the map is almost a swastika
