Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII is the most popular game in the entire franchise, purely by looking at the impact and sales numbers. Square Enix capitalized on this fact by creating the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, a number of games and media projects that expanded and tied into the main game. Chief among these is Crisis Core, the 2007 PSP game focusing on the life of Zack Fair.
Crisis Core was a phenomenal game in pretty much every regard; it introduced interesting original characters, had a fast-paced action combat system, sported impressive graphics for the PSP, and meaningfully expanded on the world and story of the original FF VII.
The truly sad thing is that there’s literally no way to play Crisis Core unless you own a PSP without breaking some laws. This might be in part due to licensing issues on using the likeness and voice of Gackt for the character Genesis.
However, with the Final Fantasy VII Remake coming sometime in the future, it seems like a no-brainer that Crisis Core should become available again.
A remastered and upgraded version would be the perfect thing to promote the remake, and this gem needs to be more accessible to players.
