Oh man, the PlayStation Store. It’s like… will they ever stop throwing discounts at us? I doubt it, but hey, who’s complaining? I mean, who doesn’t love a good deal on a lazy Saturday morning? And right now, they’ve got this wild promo on a remastered action RPG that was originally on the PSP. Yeah, you probably guessed it.
Okay, so here’s the scoop on Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion being slashed by 60%. Madness, right? It’s now $19.99 instead of a whopping $49.99. Honestly, if you’ve been itching to dive into this prequel to the classic PS1 game, you might wanna jump on it. But wait, there’s a catch! (Isn’t there always?) The deal’s off come August 14, right when everyone’s grumpy from lack of sleep—2:59 a.m. ET to be exact. Who sets these times, anyway?
Now, we’re talking Zack Fair here, folks. If you’ve played any of the Final Fantasy stuff, you know Zack’s the dude everyone looks up to. There’s this kid who’s supposed to save the world—he’s got Zack on a pedestal. And then there’s some legendary heroes tossing trust his way, just like candy. Oh, and don’t forget the girl. She’s got the planet’s fate hanging by a thread. Feels like there’s a soap opera in there somewhere. You dive into Zack’s dreams and honor. It’s like they pulled out all the stops on this saga, didn’t just slap an HD sticker on the box.
Speaking of HD, lemme tell you, they’ve spruced up the graphics. New 3D models, like, woah, and there’s a refreshed soundtrack courtesy of Takeharu Ishimoto. I can’t lie, sometimes you just wanna soak in the classic tunes with a new twist.
Critics had a bit of a field day back when this hit the shelves in 2022. Metacritic says it averaged a 78. Not too shabby, right? Personally, I’d like to think we were more generous—we slapped a solid 9 out of 10 on it. Maybe it’s just because we’ve seen Square Enix’s dodgy remasters before. But this one? It’s like they actually cared. Wishful thinking or a sign of things to come? Heck if I know. I guess only time will tell.
