Don’t Miss Out On This Underrated Final Fantasy Game With A 60% Discount

Crisis Core – Final Fantasy 7 – Reunion, a fairly underrated game in the franchise, is now available with a massive 60% discount on PC, and this is the prime opportunity for fans of the series (especially the FF7 series) to experience it. A complete remaster of the original Crisis Core from 2007, Reunion enhances the game in several ways, starting with the visuals and graphics, which have been enhanced to HD. The title also has complete voice acting and a new soundtrack, but Crisis Core Reunion is still part of FF7’s story.

The remaster stays loyal to the original title; however, there were some changes made to make it fall in line with the overarching story arc told in the FF7 Remake series. The game serves as a bridge between FF7 Remake and FF7 Rebirth, but primarily as a prequel story rather than an entry that would fill a gap. The game is mostly centered around Zack Fair, which makes perfect sense given how much more important he is to the Remake series. The ending of Crisis Core: Reunion can help you better understand Zack’s story and how that connects to Cloud.
