Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII is an action RPG kind of game that developed by Square
Enix Company. This game allows the player to control Zack Fair as the main
character of the game. Zack is available to explore the world of Gaia, and also
available to access the open areas, talk to non-playable character, interact
with the environment, and engage in battle with enemies. In this game, some
side missions become accessible once the player reached Save Points.
The
plot is set on the time around seven years before Final Fantasy VII events.
There are some of characters from Final Fantasy VII which make appeareance in
this game. The game’s setting is quite the same just like Final Fantasy VI but
in this world the technology is considerably advanced than the first five games
of Final Fantasy. The technology, the building style, and other factors
indicate that this game’s set is approximate that of an industrial or post
industrial science fiction milieu.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII uses a real time combat system that allows the player
to move Zack around, initiate attacks, use special abilities and spells also
use certain items. The ability that is available to be used by the player
depends on the ‘materia’ equipped by the player at the current time.Totally,
there are 6 ‘materias’that possible to be equipped by the player.‘Materia’usually
used to increase some certain abilities just like increasing physical attacks
damage, add new special attacks, increase the player’s Hit Points, increase the
player’s Mana Points, and many more. ‘Materia’is possible to be gained
throughout the game by defeating certain foes, completing certain missions, bought
from shops, or even from treasure chest which scattered throughout the game.
Materia also available to be fused by using‘Materia Fusion’ feature, by fusing
two materias into one that resulting a new materia, or increasing one ‘materia’s’
quality.
In
this game, we also find the gameplay that’s quite different than the previous
versions but the concept of the gameplay is still the same. The difference of
this game’s gameplay and the previous versions’s gameplay is on the way how
player move their character and how the player attack the enemies. The player
just need to choose the command for Zack and then the player just press the
action button to execute the command, that’s in the nutshell and it represents
the rest of the gameplay explanation.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII uses some slot machine-like feature that affects the
combat and the game system. The feature is called by Digital Mind Wave as known
as DMW.It features 2 set of spinning wheels; the first one has number on it,
the second has the picture of characters that befriend with Zack along the
game. The DMW usually spins along the game as long as the player has Soldier
Points more than 10. If the DMW stops with 3 same pictures, Zack will perform
certain Limit Break that can bring devastation to the enemies or even heal himself.
If the same number lined up the same, the effect can be various. The leveling
of the character only will be performed only if the player got three number of
7 lined up. The character of DMW usually found throughout the game by
completing some of the side missions, dollow the story lines, and almost all of
the DMW characters possible to be collected by the player at the beginning of
the game. However, some of the characters of DMW must be defeated throughout
the game in order to obtain it.
