Good morning my favorite followers welcome to other video game post of The Virtual Kitchen, this week I will make a special of several games of "Final Fantasy" an excellent saga that I am playing from Nintendo to the PSP. Today we will talk about a psp game called "Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core" one of the best RPG games of his saga in that console and we played it thanks to an excellent emulator called PPSSPP.
But first our usual review thanks to Wikipedia:
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is part of the project "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII", of the videogame company Square-Enix, whose objective is to expand and complete the story of Final Fantasy VII videogame launched in 1997 for PlayStation, telling what happened 7 years before Crisis Core was released for Sony's portable console the PSP in UMD format. It is an action role-playing video game.

• Operating System: Windows 10.
• Microprocessor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39Ghz

• Graphic Card: nVidia GeForce GT520 (2GB of DDR3 RAM)
The game is based on the ova Final Fantasy VII: Last Order (I recommend seeing it, it's worth it), we'll see a little the life of Zack Fair, the dream he has of being a hero and especially as he becomes a soldier of 1 ° class thanks to his master Angeal Hewley (Which is the original possessor of the deadly sword) as he gets the sword and gets to know the protagonist of FFVII.
In history we will find many emblematic and important characters of final fantasy VII such as: Cloud Strife, Sephiroth, Genesis, Aeris, Tseng, Cissnei, Hojo, among others...
The combat system compared to its previous versions is no longer in shifts but is now combat in real time, forcing you to defend yourself, dodge and above all take advantage of critical attacks and weaknesses of your opponent to be able to win as fast as possible.
The attacks can be assigned in the character menu, they are divided is three classes:
Magic:
where we have the spells of the game, such as cure, pyro, ice, etc. They are green spheres.
Techniques:
where we have special movements with the sword, they are yellow spheres.
Pasives:
they give you benefits in your status (attack, defense, speed, ect) or skills in the game such as Libra. The spheres are white.
Later we will begin to synthesize the spheres to get out more powerful techniques.
We have a special roulette called OMD that will not only allow us to level up in full combat by canceling the experience system by killing our opponent, we will also receive benefits, the spells and techniques will level up, we will be able to use invocations and above all we will do superior techniques based in the people that Zack met in the game. The available invocations are: Ifrit, Odin, Bahamut, Fenix and King Bahamut; there are also secret invocations but I can not get any ...
Roulette is affected by Zack's emotions, giving better results when fighting.
Pro:
It is an excellent game in all aspects, very good graphics, good soundtrack, the novel combat system that will be the same system that Final Fantasy games will have from now on (worth the redundancy).
Cons:
The truth is that I did not see anything wrong with the game, just stupid things like I spend a lot of time with the same weapon (but it's understandable it's part of the plot) and the fact that if I do not hit roulette the triple 7 does not go up in level ( I did the game twice and in only one I reached level 24 in a roulette mission jajajajaj)
Conclusion:
For all fans of Final Fantasy are forced to play this excellent jewel of Square-Enix, I have no words to explain how good the game is, I know it is tiresome to handle a single character throughout the game and that almost does not change but It's worth the history and the kinematics. The game knows how to absorb and you will enjoy many hours of play if you do the missions and complete the game 100%
I leave you a Gameplay of this fabulous game:
