The upcoming Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion will feature additional dialogue alongside updated graphics and a revamped soundtrack. A prequel to the classic 1997 JRPG Final Fantasy VII, the original Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII was released on the PlayStation Portable in 2008, telling the story of aspiring hero Zack Fair as he battles against a renegade SOLIDER named Genesis and finds himself caught in the dark secrets surrounding the ShinRa Electric Power Company.

Additionally, original Crisis Core composer Takeharu Ishimoto is returning to arrange some brand-new music tracks for Reunion, and several lines of dialogue that were only text in the old game will now be fully voiced.
