See how the events of Final Fantasy VII came to be.

The launch trailer for Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, or CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION as Square Enix's press release shouts at me, is now available today. This launch trailer for this Crisis Core remaster shows off a little bit more of what fans can expect from this upcoming release.

For those who haven't played Crisis Core before, there's going to be a lot of new and interesting stuff here that will give you a ton of backstory for the events in Final Fantasy 7 proper. Even for those that have played the original game on the PlayStation Portable, this release offers a good number of improvements and changes that it's probably going to feel like a fresh, new experience.

Pre-orders for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion offers up some special bonuses on all platforms. Pre-orders will get the SOLDIER Materia Set. This set includes three materia: Dark Fire, Dark Thunder, and Dark Blizzard. These materia add Poison and Silence status ailments to enemies in addition to their elemental damage types. These items can be obtained later on, but pre-orders get them available to uses earlier in the game.

The Digital Deluxe Edition of Crisis Core also includes a mini soundtrack and a digital art book.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is a remaster of a game that came out some 15 years back on Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld. This release features a "complete" HD visual overhaul, newly arranged soundtrack, fully voiced dialogue in both English and Japanese, plus an updated combat system.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is out on December 13, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
