I think it was really good, could have been a little longer though.

I found it very cool. Too bad the ending scene was cut short.

That's some signature, eh?

I don't think that it's good enough.
I rated it 5/10
True the action is good but it was cut half way through sort of.
It needed to be longer.
And character design isn't really my taste.

I didn't enjoy it much, thought it would be more than just a recap of the Nibelheim incident.

It was OK, the action scenes were good but I didn't like the animation and the way it ended was terrible

i liked it, it's done exactly what it was intended to do it filled the gap of their past wich they left in the game altho they might not have ended it in the best way it left me no more questions abaout that any other end would probably just colide whit the game story or make them go out of character all tho i must admit that i was a bit disapointed to see it as an anime i would like to see it in the same animation form as cut sene in the game but still definetly worth watching.

and for those of you complaining that it was wasted time play ff7 trough folow the story then come back and watch that's what it's intended for

btw i apologise for some lack in my english typing i know it is not the best bu i'm working on it

Fount it to be pretty good. When Cloud was with Tifa and the good old FF7 music kicked in it brought a tear to my eye.

Cloud comes out in Smash Bros,
I reread the whole Crisis Core plot summary to refresh myself,
I watch this,
and now I think I'm gonna play FFVII for the first time.

Why did Zack have to die (╥﹏╥)

Meh mediocre animation and re-telling the events but a bit more lackluster, 5/10.

Eh.. It would have been nice to see this whole event from the original game being animated if they actually kept it true. It made no sense for Sephiroth to jump down into the Mako. 4/10

I must say it was disappointing not to see Cloud in his CGI mode, but I,liked it anyways. His friend Zack is a great friend though, to even take a bullet for him, I just love friendship like that. At the beginning I thought he abandoned him, but he didn't, shows how much he's a great friend.

7/10 although short.

I never finished FF 7 and never liked the story much so I had no attachment to this and didn't view it with fandom goggles. The art style felt overly bland and something about the animation felt... unnatural... to me. Also elements of the story were ridiculous and sloppily presented.

maybe because I've never played Final Fantasy, that's why I don't understand the story line. ha ha ha...

Me with just playing crisis core can say for me it was just the 2d animation of the last part of the game which was also cut short. I know it came before the crisis core, so, it would be really great for the time but after crisis core it is just half 2d animation of last part of the game without the most heart-touching ending of the game, just the "Run" from Zack to Cloud.

Don't know why Square has to keep altering the lore and trying to one-up themselves. Remember when it was just Zack against like 3 random soldiers? Now it's an army of 100 and he's doing bullet time and he might as well just be Superman at this point. Kind of silly to make an episode of this when none of it makes sense if you you don't play the game first, and the game did it better anyway...
