Combine Crisis Core with FF7?

[Lion]

I was wondering if you guys could combine FF7 with crisis core. Because the stories are intertwined perhaps whenever Cloud get's a flashback (say the one at the first mako reactor at the start of the game) instead of flashing back to the the nibelheim mako reactor he flashes back to a memory of Zack. Because the story of FF7 was a bit confusing and more staccato then legato. Disjointed rather than smooth. I think that Crisis Core combined with FF7 could really have a clearer story and understand the motivations and influences behind the way FF7 turned out. I mean when Aeris drops the hint about knowing a soldier 1st class how many people knew it was Zack? Wouldn't it have been better if it was a flashback to Zack than an ambiguous hint that could be interpreted either way? Crisis Core explains a lot about FF7 and it was a pretty good game as well. Crisis Core would deepen the emotional impact felt by the players. Two great games intertwined could be compiled into perhaps a greater masterpiece than either standing alone.

Actually, combining the two would lessen the impact of them both.  The original was good because you had to dig and think about all the little things in the story.  If you blatantly explain why everything is why it is, it will lose its charm.  Crisis Core was good BECAUSE it delved deeper into the parts of the story that weren't completely clear.

It's the same with movies, if the writer or director tells you that by the end of the movie your friend will be your enemy, it ruins the twist.  It's better for people to figure things out on their own, it makes the experience better.

i completely agree w/ obesebear

I agree with obesebear as well, and, even though CC is a good game, i almost wish it never existed. Reason being, alot of my friends played CC and then wanted to play FF7 - which in turn,

because they knew the true back story, it basically ruined the plot twists for them and probably lessened the impact of the story telling as a result.

Well I completely agree with bear. But actually thinking about it, if you had experienced the two games they were supposed to be experienced, and were a fan, it woulod be kind of a neat game to see Sephy delve into madness and see the whole story unfold, seeing Cloud from all points of view, and gearing up for the climax at the end. Just an opinion ha.
