In an interview with IGN, producers Mariko Sato and Yoshinori Kitase of Square Enix talked about the changes players can expect in Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion. In particular, the two have revealed that the history by Zack Fair will be identical to the PSP original, but the same cannot be said for the gameplay and dubbing.
In addition to the news regarding the technical sector of the original title, reworked with the Unreal Engine 4, Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion will have all the dialogues dubbed, even those that in the original were only in textual form, and will present new arrangements for the soundtrack.
There will also be news regarding the gameplaywith Zack who will now be able to connect various attack combos and use Limit Breaks at any time, not only when they appear in the “slot machine” of the Digital Mind Wave (DMW) system, which apart from this detail will remain substantially unchanged compared to the original.
As for the dubbing, Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion will have a new cast. Rick Gomez will no longer lend his voice to Zack Fair and has been replaced by Caleb Pierce, while Briana White will reprise the role of Aerith. Kitase talked about this decision:
“Since Final Fantasy VII has been a beloved title for 20 years, we want to make sure that with this revamped project, the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, it is loved for another 20 years. And that’s when we invited an entirely new cast of voice actors.” Kitase explains.
Sato and Kitase explain that fans shouldn’t expect it new content or story changes in Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, which explains why Square Enix refers to the project as a “remaster” despite substantial improvements across the board.
“FF VII Remake was a new starting point for Final Fantasy VII, and so we decided to expand the story. But Crisis Core Reunion is a remaster and it is still a story that expands on the original Final Fantasy VII one. And so it is. We didn’t want to stray too far from it, “says Kitase.
Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion will be available during the course of thewinter for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC.
