As part of the larger "Compilation of Final Fantasy" project, a little more is known than otherwise might be. Crisis Core is going to be the more traditional role-playing game piece of the puzzle, though don't go expecting a slow turn-based affair. It is expected to lean more towards the action end of the genre. That would also be better in keeping with the handheld game design philosophy of being easy to pick up to play and likewise put down when you need to go.
Square has assembled a veritable Final Fantasy dream team for both the overall compilation and Crisis Core. At the helm is producer Yoshinori Kitase who directed the original Final Fantasy VII. The breadth of his vision for the Final Fantasy VII world can be seen in the diversity of the individual pieces. Ensuring it all stays tied well together is legendary character designer Tetsuya Nomura whose similar work in FFVII, FFVIII, FFX and the Kingdom Hearts speaks for itself.
Exactly where Crisis Core fits in that bigger picture is still an unknown. What we know about those other pieces has, however, led to some intriguing speculation. The first part is a cell phone game already out in Japan. Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis, delves into the advancement of the Turks in Midgar up to the events of Final Fantasy VII. Then there is the upcoming Advent Children movie (which has grown so much that it may end up in theaters after all). It picks up some years after the original and prominently features the core characters Cloud, Tifa and apparently Sephiroth as well. The PS2 gets what looks like a Devil May Cry styled action game when Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of the Cerebus arrives. Its place in the timeline is uncertain, but the adventure follows Vincent's fight with a group of enemies known only as "DC".
That leaves Crisis Core, coming as the fourth and presumably final chapter to tie everything together. Comments made by Nomura during a recent interview strengthen this theory. He called Crisis Core "the kind of game that's gonna bring about some new sensation to the crowd." He continued, "The story itself's the link which will encompass the whole of the compilation."
