Almost every gamer out there in gamerland knows of or has played at least one game in the Final Fantasy franchise, and chances are that it's Final Fantasy VII, arguably the most well-known and talked about game in Square Enix's RPG series.

It's so popular that it even got a CGI movie and a few spin-off games. One of these, the upcoming PSP exclusive Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, acts as a prequel to Final Fantasy VII and finally lets players learn more about Zack, the 1st Class SOLDIER that Cloud patterned his personality and memories after.

This action RPG is Square Enix's first offering for the PSP, and so people are understandably very excited about it. In fact, some are so excited that they might want to book a flight to Japan once they read the next sentence. Crisis Core will be playable at Jump Festa, which will take place on December 16 and 17 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Got that? Maybe you need to read it a second time. Crisis Core will be playable at Jump Festa, which will take place on December 16 and 17 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. We're not kidding.
