Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is an HD remaster of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, originally released for the PlayStation Portable in 2007.[1] The game was announced in June 2022 during a broadcast celebrating Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary and features new models and lighting, redone voices for consistency with the Final Fantasy VII remake project, and rearranged music.[2]
Differences[]
The graphics are redone in high fidelity, and the interface resembles that of Final Fantasy VII Remake in appearance, using the power of Unreal Engine 4.
Many characters, creatures, and objects have been redesigned to match their Final Fantasy VII Remake counterparts, likely for continuity with the Final Fantasy VII remake project: among these are the Buster Sword, which originally featured the golden hilt introduced in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the summons Ifrit and Bahamut, as well as Sephiroth. Angeal Hewley's official render has been altered to feature the new Buster Sword. Sephiroth's design is modified from his Remake look without the ornaments to make him look more like his original design.
The game has numerous gameplay differences from more free camera movement to an entirely new battle stance usable with the Buster Sword.
The epilogue movie has been changed, replacing some scenes of the pre-rendered CG recreation of the Final Fantasy VII Technical Demo for PS3 with those from the opening movie of Final Fantasy VII Remake, albeit with a shot of Aerith being recreated using the visuals from that said game.
