Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Isn't Ditching Its Slot Machine Combat
The remake of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII that was announced last month won't just see the game's visuals upgraded, but also its gameplay. One aspect of the Final Fantasy VII prequel that will remain intact though is its unique Digital Mind Wave combat system, which was one of the more well-regarded parts of the PSP game when it first released.

If luck was on your side, you'd line up the same three images and unleash the appropriate Limit Break attack on enemies. Other bonuses included Zack being healed, his Materia being powered up, and his stats increasing tremendously if the reels all showed a lucky seven image.
