As Square Enix prepares for the second installment of its big-budget Remake project, Crisis Core Reunion allows fresh players to fill in the plot gaps on Zack. He appears in post-credit sequences in Remake, implying that he will play a larger role in the future.
Square Enix has improved the character models, backdrops, textures, and user interface to achieve some graphical consistency between Crisis Core and the recently released Remake. There is also voice acting throughout the game’s plot. However, the character animations have not received the same amount of care – it seems to be a remaster of Final Fantasy X. That’s not horrible, but it’s a touch underwhelming for a 2022 PS5 game. Several character models in Crisis Core Reunion seem nearly excellent enough to feature in Remake, even though they move like characters in a PS2 game.
