Four lovely new Crisis Core videos

by Nick Doerr { Feb 22nd 2008 at 2:30PM }

Don't you just love Final Fantasy? Enough to watch four trailers for their new VII spin-off title, Crisis Core? It's up to you, but we've put the first one above and the other three are after the jump, so as not to spoil you without clicking once or twice. We've got street combat, gate crashing, urgent calls, and some sort of apple cam. Pick your poison, but if you ingest them all, you'll probably end up slightly euphoric and very excited to play this game in March.

Meh, not a fan of the real time combat at all. It means you have so many fewer options, and just makes it a button mashing mess. Hopefully the story and presentation will make up for that.

Not true. I played the Japanese version of this game. The combat is actually really complex. Not only is there that slots mini-game that helps u level up Zack and all his materia, you also get to use all the materia in real time. You don't see the player in the video doing it much but if you roll around the enemy and hit them in the back, you do critical damage for those attacks on the enemy's back.

So saying that the combat is button mashy may be true (just like in Devil May Cry 4: you can beat the game by button mashing but you don't end up getting the most out of the combat if you do) but if you want to get the most out of the game, you gotta use strategy.

@ r0nin
Would it be more fair to compare it to Rogue Galaxy or Dark Cloud than to DMC? It seems to be a bit slower with more emphasis on magic and whatnot, specifically evasion.

Which reminds me, I was playing Rogue Galaxy. Better get back to that...

Looks pretty good. I think that combat like this can get tedious but if they keep introducing new combos and/or materia to mix it up then I won't get bored. With this game, GoW, and Wild ARMS XF, march 08 has to be the biggest release month in the history of the PSP. I know I will definitely be buying them all on day one.

sean @ Feb 22nd 2008 4:58PM

Paul @ Feb 22nd 2008 5:48PM

Brave Story xD

matsam @ Feb 22nd 2008 9:57PM

They're quite different from each other, but I enjoyed Jeanne d'Arc a lot more. Back on topic, I'm really hyped with Crisis Core, I say we need a demo!

btutterrow @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:38PM

Jeanne D'Arc. Awesome game.

Lulu @ Feb 23rd 2008 2:53AM

jeanne d'arc (the downside is it's a short & easy to beat game)

Emophia @ Feb 23rd 2008 9:59AM

D'arc, easily.

And I own all three of those games.

I got D'arc first.

It's the only one I've bothered trying to complete.

The only game in my PSP 24/7

Well until I get GoW/CrisisCore/B:HTS5

Zann @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:32PM

it would be jeanne d'arc.

zoen151 @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:20PM

Uh... where the hell are the videos? Zoen angry.

SabreCat @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:21PM

It's pretty weird to see the enemies either standing around looking puzzled, or scurrying around like panicked ants, most of the time. I'm going to trust this is early in the game when it's supposed to be easy, 'cos if they act like that throughout, the action is going to feel pretty bland.

soul899er @ Feb 22nd 2008 11:39PM

yeah, i think they made it a bit easier since its like 5 enemies vs one guy, or maybe it was on easy or something just for the demo

Kingbob @ Feb 23rd 2008 4:14AM

hmm... I was expecting this game will have more actions and harder but then...... after the videos it make me changed the way i look at it.

Anon @ Feb 23rd 2008 4:52AM

The person voice acting Angeal's voice sukz, sucks, SuzKZS ! What the hell?! He can't express emotion well AT ALL he sounds like a god damn robot. If this game doesn't come with the original Japanese voice acting it fails, and loses my buy (will just keep playing the copy I got with the crisis core psp).

That is so disappointing....Zack's voice on the other hand is pretty good.
