Hihi! It's a Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core post that would be helpful to all newbie Crisis Core players that is essential for any hard core gamer that wishes to achieve the best from that game.

For a PSP game, Crisis Core has a high re-playability factor as well as the no ATB style of combat, could keep you glued to it for hours.

Anyway, on to business. For first time Crisis Core-rs, here are the 5 steps you should take note of:

#1: Can't touch this

Always dodge attacks if possible by either constantly moving or with the Roll [Square] and Block [Triangle] moves. It is best to avoid as much damage as possible, death in any RPG games can be frustrating. Always move and dodge attacks, unless if it cannot be blocked or a skill that cannot be prevented. Yes, battle will seem to be longer, but it will ensure your longevity in battle(s).


#2: Little Mako wonders

Give each of your Materia a chance to be MASTER-ed when needed, to bring its fullest effect when using the Materia Fusion function. Stats will be higher and a better Materia grade or type when it is fused at MASTER.

#3: Take it slow

Do not try to rush through the game. I know you want to see those flashy CGs or find out about the story, but certain things are best done before you end the game, such as completing the missions, as it resets after you load a New Game+.


#4: Stand in the face of danger

Want to level up? Want your Materias leveled up? Then the only way to do so is through a lot of battles and let your DMW reels roll.


#5: In memory

Constantly save your game when given the chance to. Every save point you see, take the opportunity to save up, as the smallest mistake (e.g. Wrong Materia stats or type produced after Fusion, died in a mission) can waste you lots of time re-doing it again.


With that said and done, enjoy your game time for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core.
