maybe i am just a sap who can see deep meaningful things in all and every game i play but i stil think that crisis core was amazing
i'm kinda hoping that by the end of the game you have changed your mind. sure hollander is ooc but you barely see him anyway! and maybe the reason that it feels so short is because the story does move kind of quickly, i'll give you that.
i haven't gone through all of the FFVII compilation yet. the only things that i have seen fully is advent children and crisis core along with bits and pieces of watching my friends play FFVII (for years my parents had a tirade of no video games T___T so i completely missed out on that). So maybe the reason that I feel that this is such a great game is because I haven't experienced the rest of it! but i'm still going to stand by my opinion and say that crisis core is incredible
Oh, I can see those deep meaningful things too, it's just that the deep, meaningful things I see in Crisis Core is so..... shallow compared to the original game. I think the quality of the work has dropped, even thought the quality of the graphic has improved immensely! I've been a huge fan of VII ever since I played it, and I just feel let down by all these pretty games that really don't add much (this is my personal opinion) substance to the original story. Sure, new characters such as Hollander, Genesis, Cissnei, Kunsel and such show up, and I think it's great that they show there's more people around the FFVII universe than just the ordinary. Still... I can't help but feel that they ruin it for me.
I really don't mean to argue with you - if I come off short, I really don't mean it and do beg your pardon! It's a decent game! I am deeply in love with Crisis Core as far as gameplay and graphic goes, and if it weren't for the "Final Fantasy VII" tag before the game title, I would probably deem it pretty much more decent than I do now. It's just that I expected so much more, and got so little. It's too fastpaced for my liking. It feels as if Zack and Aerith, for example, has only known each other for a month or so when he leaves for Nibelheim, and to develop such a deep love as theirs are supposed to be.... I shouldn't really stick my nose into this, but it seems so unlikely. And though all these small little details as the mails adds to the feeling "Hey, this is REAL!" it goes on for far too little time. I stared in disbelief on my PSP when the screen told me I was on my way to Nibelheim - "What!? ALREADY!?"
... I will finish it. I really will. And I will probably play it through on more time, this time on hard, to see if I have missed anything.
Oh, you should play the original game yourself! It's great compared to the compilations, in my opinion. I am, as I've already said, deeply in love with FFVII, and I will always keep my opinion that it is the best RPG ever made. So I really recommend it!
