Recently, the official <em>Final Fantasy VII<\/em> Twitter account asked, \u201cWhat&#8217;s your top tip for anyone starting out in #CrisisCore?\u201d The tweet has garnered a wide range of responses from users, and we decided to take a look at some of the more interesting ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with some practical gameplay tips. Many users suggested that new players \u201chug the edge of the levels.\u201d In both the original <em>Crisis Core<\/em> and the remaster, the points on a map that trigger battles are located toward the center of areas, so by sticking to the walls or edges of a map, you can avoid combat encounters. Enemy encounters occur frequently during missions, and even though battle themselves are fun and exhilarating, knowing the trick to avoid them may help to take a bit of stress out of the experience.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You can hug the edge of levels to avoid unwanted combat encounters. Also, Firaga and High Jump make the game a breeze.<\/p>&mdash; Billy Givens (@mektige) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mektige\/status\/1607464673779007488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There are even a few tips that might help you out during battle. One user suggested that \u201cFiraga and High Jump make the game a breeze.\u201d Another user showed that battles could be swiftly dealt with by using a combination of Darkness and the Battle Stance, a new feature added in the remaster. All of these abilities are gained between the middle and end of the game. In the later parts of the game, you can obtain many powerful abilities, and trying out different combinations is part of the fun.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Buster Stance + Darkness = Conflict resolved <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0mno2pBqEO\">https:\/\/t.co\/0mno2pBqEO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; M4Ximizando (@M4Ximizando) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/M4Ximizando\/status\/1607424585577762818?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There were also a large number of responses that suggested switching the voice acting to Japanese. One common reason was that people did not care for the performance by Zack\u2019s new English voice actor. Zack was voiced by Rick Gomez in the original version of <em>Crisis Core<\/em>, but is voiced by Caleb Pierce in the remaster.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ChiBrianXIII\/status\/1607401248407388164\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Just like in the original version, Zack is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura and Aerith is voiced by Suzumura\u2019s wife Maaya Sakamoto. Some users expressed the opinion that because the two are married in real life, their dialogue together is performed wonderfully and feels natural.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Switch audio to Japanese&#8230;<br>Two reasons:<br>1) The new EN VA for Zack is terrible.
