Once upon a time, Final Fantasy games were one-shot self-contained stories, and then the unbridled popularity of the seventh installment happened. I’m not sure that there is another video game that has received so many spin-offs and additional content in the form of games, animations, novels and what not. As the headliner of “Compilation of Final Fantasy VII” back in 2007, a prequel to the main game arrived in the form of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the then-current PlayStation Portable (PSP).
It is very strange that this well-received and highly praised game has not been ported anywhere since then, but after the first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020), Square Enix decided it is time to remind the players about the adventures of Zack Fair, and all the events that preceded those in the legendary game, but which will obviously have a lot of influence on the further course of the slightly different story in the remake.
