I especially notice that in the game’s side-missions. I can feel how the original was originally built to be played in chunks as opposed to a few long sit-downs. Despite the fact that it looks closer to Final Fantasy VII Remake thanks to some asset sharing, it’s all a bit more straightforward.
They usually feature some linear traversal, a handful of fairly static conversations to move the plot along, and a big boss fight against an enemy like Ifrit to round things out. Its main quests are more bite-sized in nature, sending Zack Fair into compact maps with only a few side routes to explore. Take its mission structure, for instance. There’s an immediately noticeable contrast in something that looks like a console game from 2022, yet feels like a handheld title created for comparatively modest hardware in 2007. The basic structure of the original remains almost entirely untouched, with tweaks just making combat feel smoother and UI look cleaner. Despite its modern touches meant to give it parity with Final Fantasy VII Remake, Square Enix isn’t going for a high-concept reimagining here it’s simply applying a new coat of paint. If you didn’t know that Crisis Core was originally a PSP exclusive, that fact would become immediately clear when starting its remake.
