A remake of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 is coming, and with it the story of First Class Soldier Zack Fair. Originally released on the PSP in 2007, Crisis Core is a prequel spinoff to Final Fantasy 7 that adds a lot more context to the stories of Cloud and his former best friend Zack, a character who is seemingly going to be gettinga lot more love in the Remake trilogy.
