  • Best game ever I finished the game. The ending is sad!!! i shed tears .

  • from the description: "one of the greatest RPS's of all time"... does that RPS stand for rock paper scissors?

  • @Dawisch i lol0d

  • best psp game. hands down.

  • I beat it around 3 years ago.

  • I got halfway through it when I was 9 years old, haven't played it since

  • the game is ok i just dont really like it when it comes to the camera but other then that the game is fine

  • "questionable character movitations" that made me laugh

  • i regret ever selling my psp because i cant play this now :(

  • @buubzu hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahaha

  • @buubzu haha same here.

  • best game on psp... next to kingdom hearts birth by sleep.. this is even better for me than ffXII hahaha... since i love ff7.. im playing crisis core undub version so sweet :)

  • @franzken is theny udub ver but subbd?

    and i own the dubbd so do you think its ok to download the undubed?

  • @Zledaren yup search for "mugi crisis core undub" you need to be on cfw to play it... the language is in japanese and all the cut scnes, but with english subs and all the menu are in english..

  • @franzken thanx so much!

  • FFVII is not a RPS (desc.) IGN...

  • @SnowfireGames

    Real Pime Strategy. Role Play Same. Which is FF7? :O

  • Already played this game twice. Thinking about playing it again. :D

  • Crisis Core is an art masterpiece, one of the best games on any console. Incredible story that pulls you in from start to finish, epic soundtrack, deep and challenging gameplay, and an ending that will make grown men cry. What more could anyone want from a game?

  • @tuskir911 uhh, the gameplay is not that challenging

  • MY FAV GAME BEAT IT 75 times STILL LOVE IT

  • FF7 Crisis Core and Dissida are the best Final Fantasy's to PSP

  • @tommihahmo The IV remake is really good too.

  • so guys, I've heard this is actually "better" than FF7, is this true? I doubt it.

  • @LoftyProduction its all about preferance but if your a true fan of Final fantasy you should at least try this game. It is one of the funnest games ive played in a while

  • @LoftyProduction They are both their own games, imo. I personally don't want to pick favorites but I'd say I enjoyed the story of Crisis Core a little more. Both awesome games, though!

  • ive beat this game like 10 times-LOVE IT

    

  • i'm playin this game it is very good!

  • Like if you think that Zack should have been in Dissidia Deudecum :D

  • The characters in this game are probably the best in the entire series.

  • @dragonbreathstinks

    You're joking right?

  • @GameReloaded In my opinion Cloud and Sephiroth are my favorite characters. But most of the characters in Dissida on the PSP are awesome too.

  • @dragonbreathstinks

    Well i like Vincent.

  • i think im gonna sell my ps3 for a vita i play my psp more than my ps3... cause of the lack of jrpgs... cmon bring versus XIII and kh3... i dont care about the graphics at all cause i enjoy birth by sleep than lets say call of duty on ps3 or uncharted its not all about the graphics folks u graphics whores

  • I picked this game up the other day for a fiver, and what a bargain that was. Its my first final fantasy game and i think the story and graphics are excellent. Just got past the bit where you are like a guinea pig for that scientist hojo and you have to kill that big blue rat thing.

  • i love this game so much i played it for a total of 300 hours, not straight of course xD but i mastered that game, and i used the throw gil attack, and i could do over 1 billion in damage, due to me having so much gil! i killed that super boss with like 10billion hp in 10 hits! :D easy easy easy! :] loved the game!

  • square enix PLEASE no more handheld bullshit, go back to a actual system like the ps3 or the x box

  • now that you think about it, is zack asian?

  • @marcoaranas Yes. First hes yellow like me, he was made by an Asian person, he has Asian hair, and hes pretty much in Japan.

  • getting my third psp next week other 2 got stolen.. i have a ps3 but theirs no jrpg gems.. i played crisis core before but neer finish it but i fcking grind i had the break damage thingy

  • @franzken wait for the PSV it looks way better!

  • @E115woods14 whats PSV?

  • @franzken Playstation Vita. Just look at the trailer for it. Its like the PSP but with way updated graphics and now has the power to play PS3 games like Uncharted

  • @E115woods14 1st, its not psp with updated graphics. 2nd the vita uncharted isnt the ps3 game, its a complacently new uncharted game. 4th psv has ps3 graphics and more ram then the ps3 so it cant be compared to the psp at all.

  • @digitalmadnessRJ Sorry i got a bit messed up but you can see that its very powerful

  • @E115woods14 no need to say sorry ^^

  • @E115woods14 oh great and just how high will the price be i wonder, ps3 was 600$ on the first few months.

    i wouldn't pay that for a handheld.

  • Does a fare amount of justice? This game should be known as a masterpiece it'self!

  • Loved FF VII. I played Final Fantasy VII when it came out when i was about 12, this game has come about ten years too late for me tho!!

  • This game is not really that good, it is very repetitive and it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the original FFVII, even the story does not mach it, there are a lot of things that come out of nowhere. Also, Sephiroth is not like the one they show in this game at all, and what's with all that "Wing" shit? seriously NO.

  • @LarkanElRegresado You dumbass. Crisis Core shows how Cloud became who he really is.

  • @LarkanElRegresado Duude this game completed VII's story... Sephiroth wasn't the same at first because he wasn't always evil. Why don't you play the game and listen to the story before bitchin, k?

  • Will I understand the story if I didn't play ff 7?

  • @EllDudeRocks Yes, since it's chronologically the beginning of plot of the FF7 games.

    Problem is that this will be a mayor spoiler of the original; if you can live with that than get the game.

  • What a rubbish review.

  • u call that a review? O.O

  • When will people realize that its POINTLESS TO ARGUE OVER THE INTERNET

  • i like the chocobo farm in this game. to bad there are no chocobos when you go to mission there

  • This game has the best story that i have ever seen in a game.

  • Everytime i played this game, i visited Aerith everytime before a story mission because i knew Zack was gonna die at some point

  • @ferrjimenez Have you ever seen The Tester (Season 2)? You remind me of Big_Fazeek.

  • love this game, never liked kingdom hearts

  • Comment removed

  • Crisis Core is by far the best PSP game, followed by Ghost of Sparta, Peace Walker and Birth By Sleep.

  • @Jiyaijo Birth By Sleep? XD You must be HIGH!

  • @ferrjimenez No? Birth By Sleep was a great game, everybody agrees.

  • @Jiyaijo Oh no it's not that, you said Crisis Core was better than Birth By sleep, and I was just saying, NO WAY!

  • @ferrjimenez Then that is your opinion. Ok. 

  • Comment removed

  • conflict reserved, DERP.

  • IGN just typed RPS in the in video description. Nice one IGN! XD

  • better that chains of olympus

  • pretty short review for an awesome game -__-

  • I like how the story tied in with FFVII but I don't think this game is as perfect as everyone says. Gameplay-wise it's kinda meh. I guess it's kinda like Kingdom Hearts without jumps or combos.

  • LOL, three key words : "In my opinion." I respect all your opinions, and I think all the games you've all suggested are pretty neat, but Crisis Core's still my top on the PSP. (:

  • They say all Spin offs suck. This game kinda turned that from true to false for a quick moment after you finish the game 100 times.

  • I like how it says "Conflict Resolved" after destroying your enemies as if the whole thing was some sort of diplomatic process.

  • it was ok, but the gameplay gets dull soon

  • @redshirts23 You don't play it for the gameplay, you play it for the story. This is a prequel, and more than half of it is basically a movie.

  • @gold908 i do usually play final fantasy for story, but i dont find ff7's storyline tat interesting

  • By far the best PSP game of ALL TIME!! this game is def worth trying !!!

  • loved FF7 wish they brought some of that story and materea back into the FF series

  • Listen to the ending song alone! "The Price fo Freedom".. & tell me you don't miss old squaresoft & 90's style games & jrpgs & don't get nostalgic. Thats the 1 song that should have been worthy enough to be in the original FF7 ps1 game at the end of that. But why mess with the closest anyone ever came to perfection right? lol no matter what you may say about final fantasy 7 you've gotta understand that that soundtrack is better than most albums in last century.games today have NO memorable songs

  • @playaeyez17 Orly? Even Super Smash Bros Brawl has a very memorable soundtrack, made by Nobuo Uematsu, mind you! The same guy who made the FF6 and 7 soundtracks and FF9 for that matter (the favourite of the director of the old FF games, and his final)

    I prefer FF6's soundtrack anyway

  • I found the easiest way to level up in this game was to get into combat and then just put the psp down for a half an hour or so and when you get back you've gained a bunch of levels. The whole "slot machine" game mechanic was just a terrible idea.

  • @Toddgpoole Wouldn't Zack just get owned if he just stood there?

  • @mooganify the game has this "slot machine" mechanic where random events will occur without any input from the player.... those random events include healing to full, awesome mega attacks, and leveling up. Since you can go back and face the same guys that you fight at level 1 over and over again it eventually becomes a leveling tactic to just go back and fight them over and over and try to stretch out the fights as much as possible in order to get the "slot machine" to level you.

  • yup... im gonna make a fool of my self askin this but.......... at 0:23 thats the same game right?

  • best final fantasy yet!

  • PS3 port pl0x

  • only bad part was the ending >.< i liked zack! T_T why is it my fave characters allways die or leave or never show up ever again for some strange reason?! T_T

  • @rikkiandsparkey thanks for the spoilers

  • @SymbioteHost T_T ur very DAMN welcome

  • @rikkiandsparkey I disagree, I thought the ending was the best part of the game (and that's not a smartass joke, I'm talking about what happens to Zack). I thought the way they did things was great. It made the player feel much more sorry for Zack than they did during the original FFVII game. I didn't like a lot of things about this game, though. Like the nonesensical story, incredibly repetitive gameplay, and don't even get me started on the slot machine.

  • @NostalgicSince2005 no i liked the ending.... its just its so sad.... if anything i wouldve wanted that instead... no ending is good without 1 death lol...but still >.>

  • @rikkiandsparkey There wasn't much they could do about it anyway. The end of Crisis Core can already be seen in the original FFVII through a flashback, but it's just a lot less dramatic.

  • conflict resolved ie all dead

  • Hmm

    I did nothing besides spamming the normal attack and using heal...

  • Ok i want to get into Final Fantasy but i dont know where to start....Should i get Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection for the PSP??

  • @xEnragedxPenguinx Aight brew, you wanna get into the Final Fantasy franchise?

    First thing's first.

    Get yourself a copy of Final Fantasy I and play through that bitch in a day - use a walkthrough if needed.

    Then go get yourself FFIV, this one's pretty deep imo - characters involved got quite a lot of... Emotion.

    After you've smashed that, get FFVII and play through that bitch's 3 disks and after a week without any human contact, hit up Crisis Core and you should be fine.

    Good luck brew.

  • @xEnragedxPenguinx Most of the games are standalone titles, so you can really start anywhere (though most people started with Final Fantasy VII), I agree with Nenjaw, you might want to start with the very first Final Fantasy. Not only is that where "it all began", but having played that would let you see just how much the series has evolved over time. I'd say the titles that you "need" to play are VI, VII, VIII, IX and X (might as well do 'em in order). The Complete Collection is also good.

  • The graphics look pretty good, though now, since I got Dissidia, I won't be getting any other games for now.Other than that, is it like KH: BBS, where you control the character in real-time?

  • @ToaJallerInika1 the combat is more like kingdom hearts than final fantasy 7, if thats what you mean.

  • @waterhawk64 Yeah, like action-styled.But it's not fully action-styled, I see.

  • WHAT THE FUCK!

    a one-minute review?

    IGN is fcking high

  • I might choose KH BBS FM over this any other day, but this game is still AWESOME!! xDD

  • i would like for sony to let NGP play ps3 games so for the 15th anniverasary u could play a sweet FFVII remake anywhere but b4 dat make a FFVII complete collection on NGP that has all the games as well as a remake of the 2 mobile games remastered in HD to look crystal clear

  • "One of the greatest RPS's of all time"? RPS?

  • @noahkorevaar all

  • Its $10!

  • Amazing game, I recommend playing the original FFVII first though. Because I did I kept going "ooooh" lol there were quite a bit omg or jaw dropping moments. The story and characters are the best thing about both games, not one game has come close to it story/charactrer wise for me. and even though I knew what was going to happen at the end, I cried. The way they do it all is breath taking, but I won't spoil it dont worry. this is a must play, deserves more then a min and a half review tho

  • Comment removed

  • i'm going to buy it!

  • This game is one of my fav on tha psp

  • @noahkorevaar in my opinion buy crisis core, but if you don't like final fantasy buy birth by sleep, if you don't like kingdom hearts, buy persona 3

  • Should I complete ff7 before playing this? :P

  • @Kisuke91Urahara

    Not really... but you could if you like to.

    If you don't have an ff7 (like me), just read the plot summary of it from wikipedia.

  • @MrhalfAlchemist44 I did the same thing, but after playing FF7, I realized reading the plot was actually a waste of time - plus I missed out on a lot of great in-game features, scenes and funny dialouge. When it comes to FF7, reading the plot rather than playing it is about as effective as reading "how to ride a bike", and not practising it. I'd recommend playing FF7. It's cheap on the PSN store.

  • @BladesOfMunch ok....

  • @Kisuke91Urahara I'd recommend finishing Final Fantasy 7 first so you can appreciate the prequel and understand it's storyline. I played Crisis Core first, and then went to play FF7 - big mistake! I was blown away by how SMALL CC was in comparison. It doesn't do FF7 ANY justice, which in contrast has an in-depth and fuller game-play AND storyline. You will grasp the story of CC much better after playing FF7. Wouldn't you do the same with a movie and it's prequel?

  • @BladesOfMunch too bad this was one of the last Square Enix games that was good

  • This game sucks

    very bad graphics compared to Black Ops for PS3

    PSP is a portable console for the poor ones.

  • @TheHaissemeht to be fair you are comparing a psp to a ps3 it isnt going to have the same graphics engine so well observed

  • @TheHaissemeht did you just compared this game to black ops?

  • @TheHaissemeht you compared this game to black ops... on the ps3... talking about its graphics... You sir, are a dumbass

  • @TheHaissemeht why the fuck are you comparing the graphics of a PS3 FPS to a psp role playing game?!? Of course its going to look worse dumbass!

  • so this is the game.nice imma play this one.

    hmm. i watched an amv of this. heres the link

    /watch?v=NLx1psTrYgQ

  • I am not into this game at all. Haven't played it in like 5 months now?

    Do I need to have played previous versions of Final Fantasy to thoroughly enjoy this?

  • @sneekz07 in my opinion yes. you just have to play ff7 ps1. it helps because u already know the characters and can relate to them. ff7 is way better than the crisis core and its only 10 bucks on psn.

  • @jorge72249 Ok it's worth a shot. 10 buck isn't really a loss.

    Alright, thanks :)

  • if you agree with me that final fantasy 7 is the best story ever told in the history of humanity please THUMBS UP

  • @kokomanation FF7 is the best final fantasy story told but not the best story in all of gaming

  • @CrimsonDeath300 though aeris's death is known as the most shocking moment in video game history

  • @Saruko9d9 That was shocking, but the death of Zack was even harder on everyone than Aeris' death. When looked at her death on my side, I didn't care as much for Aeris, as I did with the leading character Zack. I think that's the difference.

  • @kokomanation dude, its a good story, but not THE BEST STORY EVER... maybe in a game... but the oddysey or dantes inferno blow it out of the water

  • if you agree with me that final fantasy 7 is the best story ever told in the history of humanity please THUMBS UP

  • agree, best psp game worth getting a psp just to play it if you like ff games, i usually find stuff to complain about with the spin offs but cant with this one.

  • @aaron9992000 100% agreed

  • In my opinion, Crisis Core is the best game on the PSP.

  • @RaversFantasy095 Yes yes, but LBP already existed by the time you said that so...erm..

    And Daxter..Patapon/2/3...

    That statement is outdated!

  • @RaversFantasy095 that or kingdom hearts

  • @RaversFantasy095 yes no argument there,peace walkers a close second tho.

  • @Theprav Never heard of Peace Walker, but I guess I'll try it once I find a new PSP. [=

    And Crisis Core is what got me hooked even further into the Final Fantasy VII story. (:

  • @RaversFantasy095 Metal gear solid : peace walker. sorry probably should have mentioned the metal gear part haha

  • @Theprav OMG, I heard MGS was a pretty damn good game series. [; Yeah, I'll try it ! And np. ^-^

  • @RaversFantasy095 Second best in my opinion.

  • @RaversFantasy095 Metal Gear and God of War want to say hello.

  • @RaversFantasy095

    I prefer Dissidia, but Crisis Core is real good!

  • @Synkotic90 ; yes, Dissidia is an amazing game as well, as there are characters and plots spanning from all the Final Fantasy games. We've all got our opinions, don't we, but we always agree Final Fantasy is pretty beast. ;]

  • @RaversFantasy095 Nope, Birth By Sleep is.

  • @ferrjimenez HA very funny it is good though crisis core is 2x better

  • @ven380 Birth By Sleep has better story, better Gameplay, Graphics. This game sucks balls compared to birth by sleep. In fact Crisis Core Combat is terrible, O O O button, That's it >_>. I'm a fan of FF, but when it comes to which one is better? FFCC or BBS? BBS hands down. how could you say that. Crisis Core even got 2/5 from Xplay. BBS got 4/5. Crisis Core Dialog is just awful, it's full of mindless combat, barely content, it's not even challenging. Complete fail against BBS. But HA! Funny

  • @ferrjimenez Graphics better=LOL. Ironically, Crisis Core has a bunch of High Quality cutscenes and well, BBS got a grand total of two. The intro, and the super secret ending. Also, Get this! They were made years apart, no shit you'd say BBS is better. Crisis Core is just awful? You and many other's opinion to my and many other's opinion. New Info! They were made with the same graphics and game engine. You may like BBS, But other people like Crisis Core. Also, did you not like Zack in BBS?

  • @gold908 Then in comparison BBS hands down is better, because BBS is semi new it has an advantage. But lets look at the story, stop with the graphics. Crisis Core had a major awful plot, while BBS was decent, not decent, Good. and Crisis Core doesn't even have multiplayer. Not to mention IT LACKS of content, ALLOT. and BBS has so much more content wow. Just Look at the reviews, they make sense. Oh and BTW BBS did SO GOOD, that they are making a sequel for it for Vita, Crisis Core is dead <- Fact

  • @ferrjimenez Alright alright, you win. I can't argue against your logic. I bought both games, but I always liked Crisis Core better, for the story. BBS had better gameplay, i admit, and had way more replay value, but in the end, i spent 100+ hours on CC and 60+ on BBS. And as a prequel, CC answered everything that needed to be answered in FF7, where as BBS just left more questions for KH. I like CC and you like BBS, this argument is done, happy? Also Vita BBS? I am sold. Take my money already.

  • @gold908 Well the prequel BBS didn't leave that many questions, AND that is what Utada wants, he wants more question so those questions can follow up into new KH games like Dream Drop Distance for 3DS, that's the exact point the Game is doing. BBS Vita? when I said this was because, Utada is planning on making a Sequel for the BBS, called Birth By Sleep Volume 2 (introduced at the end of BBS Final Mix). Huge expectations and rumors is that it is heading to the PS vita, and I'm sure it will.

  • @ferrjimenez

    erm...Utada isn't the creator of Kingdom Hearts. Utada is the singer of the theme song, Simple and Clean, and the KHII theme song.

  • @silverpanthr Why the hell do I keep saying Utada, I meant Testuya god >_>, this happens to me all the time.

  • @gold908 And the reason why I stated Birth By Sleep Sequel on Vita, was because unlike Crisis Core, birth by sleep is at least been making follow up merchandise, like Birth By Sleep Final Mix, and Birth By Sleep 2. Unlike Crisis Core that has only had 1 game with no follow up/sequels, NOW you can't include ff7, because that came out before crisis core. But I guess it can advertise FF7 a little more, and get people to play it. But even though I love Kingdom hearts, FF is where it's at.

  • @ferrjimenez its fine if its your opinion.

    but you probably hated CC because you had no idea of how to level up or you leveled up sometimes but you had no idea of how you did it LOL

    also you wouldn´t playing BBS if it wasnt for final fantasy.

  • @pimpollito18

    1. Who the fuck are you?

    2. This conversation was between me,gold, and ven.

    3. I've beaten the final fantasy games 1-10. Including Crisis Core, and X-2 umm no, not lieng

    4. I beat Crisis Core 100%, I even unlocked the secrete ending.

    5. I KNOW the history of Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts, in fact that's my specialty. So don't think you could ever compare yourself to me when it comes to the final fantasy.

    6. When it comes to Square Enix, don't ever think you know more than me!

  • @ferrjimenez ya deja de alegar puto

  • @SELG88 Trata de decirme eso en mi cara, maldito pendejo. Tu si que no sabes nada maricon, And STOP speaking Spanish you dirty Mexican beaner.

    Yea I know Spanish, but you don't see me speaking that shit like the faggot you are.

  • @ferrjimenez eres un pinche chicano de mierda viviendo en estados unidos. tus papa son unos putos mojados de mierda. los verdaderos mexicanos vivimos en mexico. puto maricon chicano pelon

  • @SELG88 Call me when you learn HOW TO SPEAK, both in English and Spanish. I'm not surprised, eres Mexicano. Oh and I am not Mexican, THANK GOD. (gacias a dios no soy Mexicano)

  • @ferrjimenez lol it doesnt take to be an american to speak proper english. stupid bastard. bye faggot

  • @SELG88 Who Said I was American? XD dumbass you fail at life, and yes bye faggot!

  • @SELG88 baka

  • @ferrjimenez great for you, you wasted years of your life knowing the stories of a shitty game series. Look i like KH, Final Fantasy 7, 9, and 12 but im not obsessed over it i mean MY GOD MAN >.<

  • @pimpollito18

    7. you don't know me, how can you even think you know more FF than me, You are a fucking moron if you think you know more Final Fantasy than I do, because that is a joke, I grew up with that shit. So before you go on youtube thinking you know more about Final Fantasy than someone else and opening your mouth?. I'll give you piece of advice....... SHUT THE FUCK UP!
