    After going back and playing through the original Crisis Core three years ago, Max is back once again to play through the new version, called Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion! Will it be an improvement over the original, or will it be another barrel of dumbapples?

    I find it hilarious how Zack is there slaughtering all the wutai runs into yuffie and is like "what are you doing here" and yuffie be like "I live here" zack then proceeds to plays with her a little bit sends her on her way and continue slaughtering her family

      ​@@cosmiczeppelin yeah, the "war" is between a country that wants to be left alone and an evil corporation that wants to force them to use their environment-killing reactors. Zack is there to invade on behalf of the company. Lmao "theyre at war." As if that changes anything about the fact that Zack is there to slaughter Wutai into corporate domination and his stopping to play with a kid is absurd narrative dissonance

    I've done a little bit of comparing of the early game of the original CC to this one, and can confirm there are loads of little changes. One of the most striking is that after returning to Midgar from Wutai, the scene where Zack is musing about how Angeal would definitely never desert because of his SOLDIER honor. The scene in question is present in both games, but in the original version it is just a black screen with a text bar and no voice-over.

If you say it sucks and you feel no improvements were made then I believe you if you did tried out this Remastered. Doesn't change my opinion that I still think this game is fun and I am not biggest gamer in the world to have a definitive credit on that opinion I just genuinely have a casual gamer opinion.

      I can't say that I see a difference with the story or characters at all from what I remember from the original. That just means it is "dated" not bad. But I'm just old fashioned like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      @@gamerforlife3946 And a lot of people still love it just the same anyway, and there's nothing wrong with that. Game is very dated and as Max said, does kinda suck, gameplay was horrible (it's decent to good now in reunion but OG was HORRID), dialogue is cringe inducing and stilted, some of the writing and plot beats are scuffed af, and now in the remaster, Zack sounds kind of off.
      But despite all that, it has it's moments. Despite the stiff dialogue, some cutscenes still hit right imo. Despite all that, MANY people, just as Max has also said, remember it fondly. There's obvious nostalgia there but I think there also was something else there, a diamond in the rough. At it's core I don't think Crisis Core was appalling by any means, it felt like they knew what the themes were and what they wanted to tell, they just fell flat on the execution Zack is still a fully realized character and his main plot beats with Cloud, Aerith, and ofc the ending are sweet and hit hard imo (despite some forced awkwardness.) Hell I even love some of the characters and their chemistry with other characters on screen like Tseng, or the silly little emails by Kunsel, or Cissnei and Zack. This is not the case with Dirge of Cerberus for example, where to this day I still have no fcking idea what they were even trying to do with that story lol.

    Enjoying the playthrough so far man, I'll keep coming back to this as I continue through the game myself. I will say, loving the remaster, but there are a few things I wish they would do to further improve the game. Firstly I wish the limit breaks would take place in the same room/environment that you are in as it's pretty immersion breaking, and also as has been noted on the reddit, his walking needs to be fixed to stop immediately when you stop the analogue. It works fine when running, but when walking like when you're trying to get to the save point but Zack walks a few steps forward or w/e lol it's kind of irritating, a little nostalgic too though if I'm being honest.

    It was such a huge deal to me to hear Sephiroth speaking and just being there as a normal character. I always wanted a game about Sephiroth leading up to nibelhiem
