Okaaaaaay so we all know this game got released last week <3 Anyway I bought it, haven't played it much because my friend's already at level 44 and I'm still at level 15 (work and surgery make me too busy and sleepy). I'm playing on the Missions right now before Tseng and Zack head out to do whatever.
I'm not sure if there's been a thread made for this yet. If there has, I'm sorry, so lock it up. Otherwise, let's make this the discussion thread for Crisis Core.
It's a pretty fun game so far but it's very confusing because you don't know exactly when you're gonna level up and there's also the large chance you may die during a boss fight if you're not well-leveled up. I'm trying to beat this Vadjra...whatever you spell it--Carla from the Level 4 missions (Wutai) and it effing killed me. Nonetheless I'm getting a FFVII high right now and I loooove it. And seeing Sephiroth--whew!! <3 *fangirl explosion*
So if you've got it, how far are you on it? Do you like the game at all? Who's your favorite character? Did you preorder and get the Shinra UMD case??...and all that great stuff ^_^
I also wanna add -- this game is the only reason I bought a PSP. I also bought Advent Children because well, even if I've got it on DVD there BETTER be something to complement for my Crisis Core.
I can't quite say yet that buying this game was worth it because I'm still super confused at points, and try to complete missions as fast as I can. Buuuut I think I needa level up to the 20s by now. This thing's way weird.

Haha...I have yet to play the game. And I don't own a PSP. But I, too, will be buying one JUST so I can play that game - possibly in just a couple days now.
GENESIS. *_* *brick'd*
...but seriously. I want to play this game so badly it's not even funny. Yes, largely for Genesis...^^; But also because I just think it'll be fun. X3

It's fun to bash the monsters around but it gets boring easily. I've been playing sub-missions all day in preparation for the main ones. But hey, you've got the same thinking I do. XD

I want this game so much. Man. I was in blockbuster the other day and it was right there on the shelf. I would have rented it if I had a stupid PSP. This, and the Kingdom Hearts game are (so far) my only reasons to want to buy it. My meanie of a brother called me yesterday and was buying it. I hope he beats it and comes to visit before he leaves with the military so he can leave it here for me to play. :twisted:

How come your brother has one and you don't?? : ( It's okay, I was without a PSP for a looooong time. I didn't even really want one till I heard Crisis Core was coming out this year so I bought one in January...with my tuition money ^^;; it wasn't a very smart choice but I like spoiling myself. At least I have a job to pay it off.

Well my brother is in Georgia for basic training so he's kinda doing his own thing.
The thing that bothers my though is he spent some $300 on a PSP and a bunch of games when I just had to lend him $500 so that he could pay all of his bills. If this is what he's doing with my money, then I am not pleased.

I'd gotten this when it was released in Japan. I'm an insane nut, and I know juuust enough Japanese to be able to play it.
But I picked up the US version today. I had NO IDEA that there was a pre-order goodie or I would have done that FOR SURE. Now I have to pick up the UMD case on Ebay for stupid amounts of money. XP
Because I must have it. >.>'
Anyway. I'm rocked by this game. It's an excellent prequel. It doesn't mess with my perception of the original at all, and yet manages to make the story richer. I mean, it explains why Aeris acts like she does when Cloud falls through her roof, for one thing. XD
Favorite character: Angeal. Until he turns into an emo idiot.
After Angeal; Tseng and Genesis. Seeing Sephiroth smile without being evil is amazing.
I'm really looking forward to reading all the emails Zack gets.
Did you know Zack can join the FanClubs for Genesis and Sephiroth? One of the Sephiroth mails talks about his shampoo or something. I REALLY want to read that one. For the laughs. XD

I never liked Mena Suvari as Aerith (I almost called her Mira Sorvino but completely different actress!). Her voice in Advent Children and especially Kingdom Hearts 2 was monotonous. Here, she does a LITTLE better...but I still think there could have been a better voice for Aerith. Whatever happened to Mandy Moore??

This is yet another game where I really wish they'd given us the option to buy a copy that had all the menus and text (including subtitles) in English while the Voices were left in Japanese. Their voice acting is always so much better.
Bleh.
I have to wait for my PSP to charge so I can update the firmware before playing. Silly thing.

I really like it but the method of leveling up is extremely annoying and random. And that woman! The one who announces when you're going into a battle. . .I just want throttle her.
Genesis and Sephiroth are love though.

Well, I'm partway through the US version, and I'm not really displeased with the voices. Coulda been a LOT worse.
Nice thing about having played through the J-version first is that now I know what I'm doing and where to go for stuff. Heheh.

I guess I got kinda bored of it already because all I did this week was laze around and play Crisis Core. Now I'm back to levelling up...which is the really, really super tedious part of the game. Hey at least I get to take it to school now and play alongside my friend who also has the game. Except he's way more ahead than me and we bought our games a day apart from each other and he seriously..just plays WAAAAAAAAAY more than I do.
I wonder if he even leaves time to do his homework. 'Coz I sure didn't!!

I'm going to get a PSP for next Christmas for the sake of having Crisis Core. I'm a huge FF7 fan, and completely destroyed the first game. I've mastered every Materia, and have like 6 Master All- materia. xD

The leveling isn't as random as you'd think. One of the guide creators figured out the EXP ratios behind it. You simply can't level until you have enough EXP. At that time, it's a sorta random chance based on a bunch of figures. The more EXP you gain before leveling, the higher the chance you'll level. I've been on some missions where I'm smiting things left and right, and I'll level like, three times durring that mission, and then not at all for a long time.
Now I know I need to stop avoiding those random battles like I've been doing (if you hug the wall when on a map, it avoids most of the so very NOT random encounter spots.)
Well, got to watch the awesome cutscene with the three Musketeers, uh, I mean Angeal, Sephiroth and Genesis dicing up the Junon Cannon. XD
I love that fight scene. Even if they did Sephiroth's hair wrong for it. It looks fine in all the other cuts, I dunno why it's all clumpy for this one...
*wanders off grumbling*
I'm glad I can play this at work, once the managers have gone home for the day.....

To play the game I'd have to get a PSP and the game. I've been afraid to get a PSP because I always think I'm going to break it when I touch one.
I would like to read the story line if anyone knows where I can find it.

I don't have a PSP yet, so I can't play it. This game is what finally made me decide I needed to get one (there's only like three other games I'm interested in).

Otohime, I know EXACTLY how you feel. I thought the PSP was useless and that I didn't need one...
...Until I found out in January that the game would be released this year and so I just went out and bought one, then preordered my game!! XDDD

I really haven't found that many good games on psp.
A couple of my favorites currently (besides the awesomeness that is Crisis Core):
God of War: Chains of Olympus (Fantastic graphics; lots of action)
Gurumin (Really cute and fun action rpg.)
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
My friend said Valkyrie Profile's supposed to be a good rpg but I haven't had the chance to play it yet.
