New Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII scans of Nibelheim Incident, Costa Del Sol, Tifa in cowgirl outfit

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Image 1 Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Image 2 


Ah, the Nibelheim incident. One of the more powerful scenes in the original Final Fantasy VII, it delved into Cloud's real past - and what really happened the day Sephiroth, legendary SOLDIER of Shinra, turned rogue and became the silver-haired antagonist that would make every PSOne player despise his name, and fanfic-writing girls to hopelessly daydream about him.

We see all that and more in this scan update of Square Enix's Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation Portable. Looking at the scans, we see the characters in a simpler time - back when Cloud and Tifa were still the young, ambitious youths they once were, with no crazed, megalomaniac Sephiroth following their every move and no looming threat of a giant meteor crashing into the planet and ending all life as they knew it.

The graphics are striking, and very sharp - it seems that Squeenix is definitely pushing for a next-gen look, and by the Lifestream they've done it. It's certainly very striking to see the old characters we once knew in the original game, to be revived in such a way that they look more real and appealing to the younger generation, yet still have the elements we fell in love with back then so the older, more experienced role playing game enthusiasts feel right at home.

We know what Cloud looks like.. We dont care.

We know what Tifa looks like.. We dont care.

Is this game coming to North America or not?! If so, when?! If not.. no one wants to hear anything more about it.

 » it has been confirmed.
idiot.
have you ever read the news? it's coming this year. don't bash on QJ and look for your own news.

   Re: Keith K (Unregistered) - 2007-08-17
 » In Japan only
Trust me.. I hear a lot more about what goes on at SE than you do. The game has not been confirmed for north america. There's a September 14th release in Japan only. There is no, nor has there ever been ANY indication of an NA release... other than it seems like a given.

But until it comes from the horse's mouth, its all speculation.

It has been confirmed for release in North America, date is not yet given, re-look your sources.

   Re: Gaffmiester (Unregistered) - 2007-08-17
 » Ummm
Keith K is mostly right, but it comes out in Japan on the 13th of September, not the 14th. And yeah, there hasn't been a release date set for NA YET. But I assure you that it WILL be coming out in NA. Expect it around some time next March.

...too bad I'm boycotting Square on the count of FF1/FF2 for the PSP. Both on one cart or the GBA, but Squeenix got greedy and put each on separate UMD. I didn't buy them and I probably won't buy this one.

If you couldn't afford to buy them separate, then there's something truly wrong with you.

   Re: The Dude (Unregistered) - 2007-08-20
 » No, its greed
I can, but why should I when other protables have gotten both as one? Its corporate greed yet again, just like five thousand frickin spin offs of FFVII.

I can't wait to download this LOL!

   by Mraz (Unregistered) - 2007-08-17
 » Doubt it.
Sorry mrjubjub i doubt you will be able to play this on the current psp system my guess would be you will probably need a psp slim which means higher firmware. Just a thought. But seems definitely cool enough to pay $$$ for.


   Re: Ola (Unregistered) - 2007-08-17
 » right...
pffft...higher firmware because sony tells them if this would be a requirement.
And why a slim? It's not faster at all...

Also, most screenshots are from cutscenes. As you probably know (*cough*) they can make them more detailed because there is not so much to render like in the normal game.
(see ratchet+clank, daxter ...)

   Re: Gaffmiester (Unregistered) - 2007-08-17
 » Umm right..
So what are you saying, that Sony is just gonna disregard the millions of people who have the current PSP and not release any more games for it?.

Of course you can play it on the current system, new firmware doesn't mean a thing. The firmware will be all the same for slim and normal PSPs.

And then eventually, one of the hacking teams will get to it and yes, mrjubjub will be able to download it.
