Crisis Core kick ass. enjoy it with or without ff7. However i believe its best to complete CC after ff7, just because the story flow more slowly. u'll have memorable experience and the character makes a bigger impact.

Anyone going to the Metreon thing?
Oh shit, I let someone use my PSP charger last night and I forgot to bring it home with me, and my PSP is only at 35% batter power. It looks like the heavens are beginning to conspire against me; or at least requiring me to drive over to the house and pick up the charger. In any event, sort of a hassle... Considering this is the first time in months I am excited to play the PSP.

Who do you think Cloud got the purple clothes from?
Heh, I never noticed that before.
Man, voice acting has spoiled me. Watching these old scenes from VII and VIII really make me wish for them to be acted out.

Whoa! I randomly stopped by a Game Crazy today and they had it in stock! Washington BTW. How the hell do they have it so early? It was funny, because as I was buying it, the automated GameStop call was calling me telling me my reserved copy will be here tomorrow. LOL!

Is the manual in color? :lol Silly question but I enjoy the color [WO Pulse Upset me though ;(]. But damn. the overall presentation is downright beautiful. I'll have mine shipped to me tomorrow by UPS. so around 1-2pm CST for me. Can't wait to play it though.

Went to my local Target to pick up some batteries, noticed they had the game in-stock and picked it up. Played about 2 hours so far, the graphics are absolutely ridiculous.

Mother of God, those look great. And I just got a call that my GC has it too.
Beautiful looking game, but it does seem to be all style and no substance.
Definitely made for the fans and with no real interest in attracting new players to the genre, no real depth in combat with a story which is extremely generic.
Music, presentation, cut scenes etc are excellent and definitely the best on the system .... but the game is not mind blowing.
GOW:COO was a bigger breakthrough in terms of the handheld world moving up and closer to home console presentation, story, gameplay and overall feel.
Enjoyable I am sure for the countless FF fans and they will lap it up, for everyone else ..... approach with caution.
7/10

Just got done playing my friends copy from GC. If you are FF7 fan, you will melt like butter on hot mashed taters. Pure nostalgia and really fun gameplay. I even enjoyAmir0x said:

On a side note, does anyone know if BB's are giving them out today? I have my pre-order there with a $20 rewards zone GC so I really have my hands tied behind my back.
I find the story / game world is just to impenetratable to those who don't have a degree in Final Fantasy lore.
I never played FF7 and have never really been attracted to this genre ( JRPG ) but I really wanted to play the game and hopefully get into the genre.
But without any background knowledge of the series the majority went over my head, and this hindered my ability to get drawn in by the story or care for the characters.

Play FF7 first. This is definitely a game for the fans. Anyone who hasn't played/beat FF7 will sorely lack the right frame of mind to review this.shifty100 said:

I just found out this game is out tomorrow and not the day after. How long is it? im wondering if I should play NGDS before this or not.

I have zero positive nostalgia surrounding FFVII, so I'm not sure if that helps me much.
I purchased it and beat FFVII when it launched, I think the universe had some vague potential that was mostly subsequently destroyed by the atrocious movie and the abysmal Dirge of Cerberus. From jGAF impressions, I thought maybe Crisis Core would stand on its own in terms of gameplay, and help at least salvage some of the FFVII universe lore from oblivion.
I was hoping this. I still hope this, but this is what I feared. Impossible to tell who of jGAF is wide-eyed adoration of this fabled game, or who can be trustworthy. I really don't want to throw my $40 away after the last few times I fell for the FFVII trap...
