Crisis Core had so much potential, I really wish Square Enix would make a remake and retcon out Gackt, iron out the flaws, and make it focus more on young Cloud and his relationship with Sephiroth and Zack, how he admired them, growing up with Tifa in Nibelheim. Gackt and gaia and the extra shit they added was horrible
>shota cloud best cloud
>Crisis Core had so much potential
No, it was fundamentally flawed.
We wanted to know more about Sephiroth, not create new Sephiroths who undermine the whole point of Sephiroth.
And Zack isn't a very interesting character anyway.
>Remove Gackt
>Remove Gaia
>Remove Wings on any character
>Merge Angeal's character into Zach's
>Hire a better composer
>Flesh out Zach and Aerith's relationship
>Make Sephiroth and Zach closer friends to add more emotion to the Nibleheim Tragedy
Bam better story.
That's an entirely different game.
Crisis Core isn't about Cloud. He's a side character. We get to see him from a different perspective. That's not a bad thing.
I'm hoping the remake gives us more back story and fleshes out characters more, but a CC remake that isn't focused on Zack might as well be a different game entirely.
I mean the concept had good potential, as in the idea of ff7 prequelae
The points you mentioned are the massive flaws that should not have been included
I wish they'd retcon it and release a new prequel that without gackt that focuses more on cloud and sephiroth and tifa
Well maybe a different game wouldn't be a bad idea, retcon the cc story
>better story
What HAPPENS in this though? They had no real vision for a greater VII story and just slapped terrible stories in CC, BC, AC, DoC, LO etc. If there isn't a good story reason for the game don't bother.
>We get to see him from a different perspective. That's not a bad thing.
Unfortunately it's the light we seem him in that is bad.
>I mean the concept had good potential
What concept?
>some stuff happens before the game
How is that "good potential"? A good story happening beforehand is good potential, but we got executives wanting to milk a franchise and went "where can we jam this in"?
Zack is the best protagonist Square ever had. I wish they would make more characters like him.
Technically, it's just about the CORE of the crisis, not Zack. Zack isn't really the source of everything, it's the entire system of relationships with Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth, Jenova, Aerith, and Zack.
>Zack is the best protagonist Square ever had
Go to bed Tabata
>CORE of the crisis
I could have sworn VII had the CORE of the story in a complete way. Crisis Core had no reason to exist.
>Add "celebrity"
>Licensing issues stop you from ever releasing the game beyond physical psp format
>Game was fine otherwise
How does such a monumentally stupid decision get made? A layman could see they'd fucking lose money on this.
>it's just about the CORE of the crisis
So it's about Hojo?
>Game was fine otherwise
Except it retcons a bunch of stuff, is rather bland and ultimately pointless?
Yeah. Fine
Gives them a reason to remake it as part of the FFVII remake trilogy.
>remake trilogy
You mean a couple of episodic releases in the third season?
Wouldn't argue with that, but I think there is room to flesh out a prequel since much of the original game is dependent on memories of the past. The problem is just that they shoehorned Genesis and other dumb shit into everything, so I personally would also like a do-over.
Actually yes, focus on how he manipulated Sephiroth and other important figures, how it leads to everyone getting hurt. Get rid of Genesis and shit
I just want a game about Clouds growing up and obsession with sephirith, his adventures with shinra and his relationship with Tifa
>but I think there is room to flesh out a prequel
Maybe in a novella but it's difficult to create the required drama to make a full game out of.
>The problem is just that they shoehorned Genesis and other dumb shit into everything
Because there really isn't a lot to go off with in that time period, it was just a money grab that nobody wanted.
>I just want a game about Clouds growing up and obsession with sephirith, his adventures with shinra
What will the game BE about, what does the player DO? What adventures? He was a grunt. He guarded shit. They're mainly an energy company. Trying to retroactively fill this in is why we got Genesis and shit in the first place.
Sure but they will be 60 dollars each.
There gonna milk this shit so get ready for a Zack trilogy along with the Cloud trilogy..
You finally get your FFVII remake for the low cost of 360 dollars!
>There gonna milk this shit so get ready for a Zack trilogy along with the Cloud trilogy
Oh god no
Doesn't have to be some grand save the world epic adventure, could just be a personal story. Had to help out some people in the slums, gets deployed to wutai as a grunt, his interactions with sephirotg abd tifa, fights some monsters here and there. Could be more personal and small scale than an epic adventure
It's insane how much he looks like Sora from Kingdom Hearts there.
Just make Tifa and Cloud more major characters, emphasize Hojo, get rid of Genesis and Angeal or rewrite them to be minor characters
