Upscaling a game back in the PSP gaming era isn’t that easy since the mod had to factor in RGBA images that come with alpha channels used for transparency, and there’s a lot of that in Crisis Core that needs to be converted properly for a PC display. The FF7 Crisis Core Upscale Project is basically a Crisis Core mod that runs on PC and looks darn good with more than 5,000 overhauled textures. A pity Square Enix didn’t bother going back to it, so fans took it upon themselves to give it the HD remastering it truly deserves. It was the best of the bunch because it fleshed out Zack Fair and arguably set the gameplay & action RPG combat template for future Final Fantasy games from Final Fantasy Type-0 to Final Fantasy XV. One of the side games is a prequel for the PSP called Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. And yeah, its 10th anniversary spawned a bunch of side games and a “hit” CG movie. It shouldn’t be a surprise that JRPG Final Fantasy VII is a big deal back in 1997, even up until now.
