Square Enix has finally given Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII a European release date of "spring".
For those unsure, this is the action RPG that caused PSP sales to multiply six times over in Japan last September.
Set before the renowned Final Fantasy VII, you play as Zack who works for SOLDIER, a military group run by an electric company busy at work on building a metropolis.
The game begins when you, Angeal and Sephiroth are sent to investigate the whereabouts of some missing SOLDIER members. Complications ensue.
Crisis Core was among the first games announced for PSP, and its lengthy development means gorgeous visuals and cutscenes to put others to shame.
But its big selling point, the real-time and fast-paced battle system, is yet to be proven. Perhaps we needed more time with it, but when we saw it last May it felt fiddly and unconvincing.
Could be wrong though - Japanese magazine Famitsu gave it a score of 35/40.
