Who are the Characters in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion?¶
Unlike Final Fantasy VII, Zack Fairs is the only controllable character in Crisis Core. Don’t let that dishearten you however, there are plenty of ways you can customize Zack and your gameplay experience. You can change his armor and accessories, find a whole host of materia for which you can fuse it together to create unique materia you won’t find in any other Final Fantasy VII game and then there’s the unique Digital Mind Wave system that will run automatically in every battle.
Outside of Zack as the playable character, the story focuses on Sephiroth, Angeal (Zack’s mentor), and Genesis, another elite combatant with the skills of Sephiroth who has gone missing. You’ll also see the beginnings of the Turks and even Aerith, who fans of Final Fantasy VII will be very familiar with by this point.
