In the original Crisis Core, you could not adjust or rotate the camera. Crisis Core Reunion added that feature for you to look at things in a different perspective.
You can now sprint from one push of a button to travel faster in cities, towns, and during missions.
Lost on where to go next? You can look at the mark on your map as your guide on what to do next in Crisis Core Reunion, thanks to the addition of map markers and objectives.
Crisis Core Reunion features the addition of a Hard Mode difficulty setting for players who want an extra challenge playing through the game. You can switch from Normal to Hard difficulty and vice versa in the Option menu.
Difficulty Differences: Normal vs Hard Mode
The Main Menu for Crisis Core Reunion was remastered to match the aesthetic of the Final Fantasy VII Remake menu.
In the original Crisis Core, if you managed to match all three images, you will instantly use their Limit Break.
In Crisis Core Reunion, once all three images have been matched, you can choose when to use the Limit Break.
Zack's Normal Attacks are faster and feel more fluid in Crisis Core Reunion. In addition, the use of materia can now be assigned to a push of two buttons, making controlling easier than the PSP version
All Controls and Button Mapping
You can now use Materia to combo off after using a Normal Attack. Doing so will increase your damage the more times you manage to hit enemies.
The Guard Stance will disable Zack from moving, but he can automatically guard attacks and can attack with high stagger. Guard Stance can also strengthen materia damage.
As you progress through the Main Story, you will gain bonuses that allow you to restore HP, MP, or AP after every fight.
Some enemies have an Ability Gauge that allows them to do special attacks during combat. Attack the enemy as much as possible to avoid having to lower this and deal with its special attacks, by decreasing their power, or nullifying them all together.
Once you receive the Buster Sword later in the game, you will gain access to the Battle Stance mentioned above, as well as Buster Sword Proficiency. Increasing Buster Sword Proficiency allows you to gain new abilities and have a stronger advantage in battle!
How to Raise Buster Sword Proficiency
Outside of combat, you can restore your heath completely with the press of a single button. Note that this will use your potions instead of healing spells like Cure.
In the original Crisis Core, you would only receive the Heike Soul as a reward for completing all missions. In Reunion, you will gain access to rewards each time you clear another 10% of missions, so clear many missions and reap the benefits!
Ending up at a Game Over screen allows you to restart the battle immediately as is, adjust your equipment and use shops before trying again, as well as go back to the last save.
This will prevent you from entering a mission where the enemies' levels are too high, and being stuck without the option to re-adjust or go back, which was an issue in the original.
Crisis Core Reunion's graphics have drastically improved when compared to the original, with new definition graphics, as well as realistic looking character models and environment.
Crisis Core Reunion features full voice acting for both story dialogue, as well as other sections of gameplay like when Zack is exploring or talking to other NPCs. Crisis Core Reunion also features all new voice actors.
Full Voice Cast and Actors: New & Returning Talent
Sounds and Background music have been remastered and worked on by Takeharu Ishimoto, the same person in charge of the soundtrack in the original Crisis Core.
Crisis Core: Reunion is faithful recreation of the original game when it comes to the story. It has been stated that there are no story changes or secret endings.
