NCS Game Synopsis & Spoilers
«©NCS»
The spiky-haired Zack Fair is a soldier in the
employ of the Shinra Electric Power Company.
Young, strong, and impressionable, Zack is a
member of a private army known as SOLDIER that
works for Shinra Power. Zack aspires to become a
Soldier First Class which is an elite branch of
SOLDIER where the best of the best are assigned.
At the outset of the game, Zack engages in a
thrilling virtual reality sequence where he races
across the top of a train, battles soldiers, and
flies through the air to disconnect some train
cars from the main caboose group. The sequence is
entirely CG with some beautiful visuals to
appreciate.
Soon after the VRS sequence, Zack is summoned to a briefing room
where his supervisor named Lazard gives him an
assignment. A Soldier First Class named Genesis
has gone missing along with a number of other
elite soldiers. Zack is to investigate their
disappearance and determine what has happened. He
is allowed to bring a Turk with him and their
first area of exploration is a mountainous region
in Wutai...
Crisis Core: FFVII
takes place before the events of the original
Final Fantasy VII game and features a
recognizable cast of characters which include
Cloud Strife, Sephiroth, Aerith Gainsborough, Tifa
Lockhart, Reno, Rude, and Yuffie Kisaragi. The
whole gang's back...

NCS Game Notes
»
Intro: Shrill music plays as the camera opens
up into a city at dusk and slowly passes by the
Shinra Electric Company. The credits appear and a
train may be seen coursing through tracks and is
shadowed by a helicopter. An agent named Zack is
running on top of the train and being shot at from
above. Next, the Reno and Rude are shown followed
scenes from the in-game cinemas which appear in
brisk sequences that jump from scene to scene.
There's one scene where Angeal and Sephiroth clash
swords and another scene where an apple on a tree
branch is being immolated by flames.
»
On the title screen, a Soldier stands by
himself and digs a sword into the ground as
feathers slowly waft downloads. The only options
available are NEW GAME and LOAD GAME.
»
Start a NEW GAME and an introductory
cinema plays where the hero of the game named Zack
Fair leaps from a helicopter onto the top of a
runaway train. His mentor Angeal gives him a bit
of encouragement before he runs from car to car
while encountering shots showered from above and
resistance from armored soldiers. He pumps his
fists while running and slashes his sword to
dispatch the enemy soldiers. In one sequence, he
leaps high and plummets downwards with sword drawn
to sever the link between the lead train segment
and the cars behind it.
Zack sheaths his sword and the train eventually stops. He leaps off
and onto the ground where Zack ventures into a
warehouse area and receives a call on his
cellphone. Soldiers enter the area from behind him
and begin to attack. Zack's still talking on the
phone but temporarily ends the call when bullets
start flying towards him. After steeling himself
for a bit, Zack draws his sword and an action
scene begins where players get to attack the
soldiers. A female voice announces "Activating
Combat Mode" and the battle begins. The enemies
aren't substantial and they'll all go down after a
few slashing attacks. After the encounter is over,
the female voice announces "Conflict Resolved" and
Zack flips his cell phone to his ear once more and
resumes his conversation but ends it soon
afterwards.
He runs up a couple of flights of stairs as pedestrians rush
downwards. After reaching the top, he encounters a
snarling beast with a red mohawk and a whippy
barbed tail. Another combat scene begins where all
of the attacks available to Zack may be used to
destroy the creature. Afterwards, a sword is
shoved into the area directly above Zack's left
shoulder. He turns around and sees that it's
Sephiroth. A short clash of swords occurs but Zack
is no match and is thrown backwards. Sephiroth
thrusts a killing stroke downwards but it is
blocked by Angeal who then gets up and flips open
his cellphone and gives the command to abort the
mission. The simulation ends and the virtual world
dissolves to reveal that Zack is wearing a Virtual
Reality helmet...
»
After the first sequence is over and the
Virtual Reality System simulation has been
terminated, you'll be prompted to save your
progress to memory stick duo.
» Location: The Shinra Electric Power
Company
In the next scene, Zack is performing some squats and is talking to
his friend who is wearing a helmet with visor.
Angeal enters the room and summons him. Zack
enters a room with a door that's marked "LV.49
Briefing Room." Once inside, there's nine chairs
and nine terminals lined up on a V-shaped table.
Above the table is a large video screen which
displays "Soldier First Class" and "Missing in
Action" along with an image of a missing soldier
named Genesis. Zack's senior officer Angeal Hewley
is inside along with a blonde-haired,
eyeglass-wearing gentleman named Lazard who
manages the SOLDIER Department inside Shinra.
Based on the intel given to Zack from Lazard, a
group of soldiers have gone missing in Wutai and
Zack is to travel to Wutai to determine what
happened to the soldiers. The mission was
originally given to Sephiroth to handle but the
silver-haired devil refused the assignment so it's
handed to Zack who accepts it.
