Introduction

A story of three young men and one young woman bound for destiny's core.

Crisis Core: FFVII takes place at least five years before the start of the original Final Fantasy VII. This time, you play not as Cloud Strife, but Zack Fair. Zack was a very mysterious character in FFVII, he appeared only in flashbacks and worked alongside Cloud in SOLDIER, Shinra's elite military unit, though the former was of a higher rank.
In Crisis Core, Zack has been promoted to the important role of main playable character. He works as a low-class SOLDIER, so the game takes place before he makes it to 1st Class. His instructor is a new character, Angeal Hewley, who plays a vital part in Crisis Core, though the details are unknown. Angeal wields the Buster Sword in Crisis Core, but for some reason he only uses it under urgent circumstances when someone is in danger.

Familiar faces, such as Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough, Sephiroth, Tifa Lockhart and Tseng, Reno and Rude from the Turks reappear in the game. Their roles are uncertain, though Aerith is in a relationship with Zack and Sephiroth and Cloud are in SOLDIER.

Crisis Core is the first in the Final Fantasy series to be released on the PSP platform and will feature a battle system taking elements from action and traditional turn-based menu systems. Materia is also making a come-back.

The game is set for a Spring release of 2007 in Japan, while release dates for the rest of the world are unknown. More information will be confirmed soon.
