If you're trying to decide what platform to buy Crisis Core: FinalFantasy VII Reunion on, prioritize portability over power.

With Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion’s release date fast approaching, you may be debating what platform to buy it on. It’ll launch on everything from PC to Nintendo Switch, and there’s a fair reason to get it on each. A PS5 or Xbox Series X copy will provide a smooth, reliable experience, while a PC copy will allow you to run it at ultra-high frame rates if you so desire.

Keep it portable If you didn’t know that Crisis Core was originally a PSP exclusive, that fact would become immediately clear when starting its remake. Despite its modern touches meant to give it parity with Final Fantasy VII Remake, Square Enix isn’t going for a high-concept reimagining here; it’s simply applying a new coat of paint. The basic structure of the original remains almost entirely untouched, with tweaks just making combat feel smoother and UI look cleaner.

I especially notice that in the game’s side-missions. Like the original, Crisis Core features hundreds of optional quests that are all somewhat similar in nature. Each one lasts a few minutes at most and tasks Zack with slashing a few enemies on a handful of small maps surrounded by red barriers. If you try to sit down at a PC and bang out 20 of these at once, you might come down with a case of cabin fever. The repetitive nature of them can make them feel like a total chore in the wrong context.

It’s not like you really need the power boost a console like PS5 will provide here based on my time with it so far. While it’s a cleaner-looking game, it’s still building off of the stiffer nature of the original. Characters largely have a limited set of animations that are reused — Zack sure loves to squat — and environments are sparsely detailed.
