So what do you think of final fantasy crisis core?

I found it to be 95% fanservice, disliked the single button combat and thought the whole Lazard transformation thing was far too random. Also, with nearly every minor enemy having a single wing, it made me question Sephiroth's awesomeness.

But I had to play it anyway. Damn Squarenix's milk.

i thought it was fun, but too repetitive.  x, x, x, x, x, x...

The best story in a game, EVER!!!!

Yeah i liked it :) felt it was good for a final fantasy to play really differently to other games in the series. So on top of being a good game, it was a really refreshing outlook on final fantasy.

I'm about 3 hours in and so far its pretty cool. Havent really played many FF games but I'm enjoying it.

It had a great story. Many twists that were unexpected. Gameplay is a little repetitive, but you are playing an RPG, don't forget.

I loved it, it gave an entire new meaning to Final Fantasy VII, a game which I already loved. Also, it is the first spin off from the series that doesn't absolutely sucks, which is something good.

I didn't find the combat to be repetitive.  With all the costumization that is possible I had lots of fun fighting.

Great game. I loved Zack's story, thought he was a great character.

I thought the story was really good and I thought it was good that we got to know Zack better :D. Thought the battle system was a tiny bit repetitive though

I thought the game was overall a fantastic experience, though I do think the story was a little too nonsensical at some points.  Definitely my favorite PSP game ever. 

I haven't picked it up yet, but plan on it soon.

I loved it, one of my favorite games on any system. On my 3rd time playing it now. The first time I got 100% and the 2nd I just went through the story and not the side missions. Great characters and story. The ending was very well done.

I  loved every moment, cried a few times. It's quite moving. I do really think they will release an updated version for the ps3 or PSP. they HAVE to now.

PLEASE SQUARE-ENIX!

Here comes the hater....

I just finished it and I have to say that I was left with a sense of "meh" by the whole thing.  The dialog was pretty cheesy, the combat was repetitive, the voice acting was spotty, and the whole "Mind your own business" thing with the limit breaks really got on my nerves.  Maybe I had my hopes set too high because I was so pumped about this game.  I still think it is a great game, just not what I hoped for.

I am playing through it right now, really a great experience so far though I am afraid it is going to be on the short side. I like how the whole game is focused around Zack's emotions from battle to story. Also I have personally found "randomly spamming X" for battles to not work, much bigger focus on guarding and dodging... But hey I don't like to die, I have had the same phoenix down on me for literally half the game...

Also, the music is freaking excellent.

I really enjoyed it. I think people playing it the first time shouldn't bother with doing too many side quests, that can make the game become repetitive very quickly. If you stick to just the main quest most of the time, I think you'll enjoy it.

I've beat CC twice now, and I still don't understand how to play it. At all.

loved it great game and very sad also

I get bored very quickly unlless the story is good. So it didn't like the game.

I thought the story was pretty bad. Not horrible, but not even close to the same level as a traditional Final Fantasy game. It's very obviously a Tetsuya Nomura experience... characters that are too cool for school with a lot of fluff in between.

Didn't touch the story... power leveling via missions atm. Nothing special, that's for sure. Hopefully they add a lot more depth with the FFXIII PSP game coming out.

I thought it was crap. it was a sequal to an all ready fragmented plot hole filled game it made no sense half the time that nearly every thing in this game happend in the first 2 hours of final fantasy 7 like word for word scene for scene, then you have the useless random leveling system that wasnt random and limit break thing that was and would often not give you what you wanted when you needed it, the crappy quest part of the game which had about 7 unique maps used over 300 or so times, and the like 20-30 enemies reused so many times it got boring.

loved it, did get a little a little repetitive and the DMW could be maddening at times but the story and everything was very cool, in a stupid 'this is a japanese game can you tell?" kinda way...

I absolutely loved it, sure most of it was fan service but unlike most fan service games they managed to create a compelling and intresting story that added to the original without  sacrificing what we already know and love. I think the combat system was cool and different and pretty well suited for the PSP and the graphics for a PSP game were outstanding. Love it.

Eh, Tetsuya Nomura was only the character designer for CC. Meaning his role in anything you are referring to (director, writer, etc) was well... nonexistent."

I am nearing the end of the game myself and well I think you are onto the style thing to a slight degree. I mean some of the flashy cut scenes that do little for the story could be removed (sephiroth fight with genesis for example) but still I think the story is excellent and is not overpowered by fluff and style in the least.

Yeah, the story was okay. But the cutscenes are bad ass. You know what I mean? That's what I meant when I said that, anyway."
