Welcome to the Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Wiki Guide

There are few games in the thirty-plus years of video gaming history that are as popular or well-respected as the PlayStation RPG Final Fantasy VII. Released in 1997, Final Fantasy VII exposed many to RPGs for the first time and is a favorite in the series at large.

Final Fantasy VII continues to be, to this day, a primary example of how to perfectly meld accessibility with depth. Subsequently, few games (if any) have developed a large following for the seventh installment in the primary Final Fantasy series. Crisis Core marks the second time Square Enix has gone back to revisit the game.

Unlike 2006's Dirge of Cerberus, which revisited the Final Fantasy VII universe through the eyes of the mysterious Vincent Valentine, Crisis Core revisits things through the eyes of a character we barely get to see in the original game, a SOLDIER operative named Zack Fair. It is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII, with appearances from familiar characters such as Aerith (Aeris) and Sephiroth. And unlike Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core plays, at least moderately, like an RPG. An action RPG, to be sure, but an RPG nonetheless.
