Materia is part of the magic and ability system, like in Final Fantasy VII, but its slightly different. Summon Materia are no longer under the players control, and instead, are added to the DMW. When the DMW slots switch to the summoning scene one of the various Summon Materia are selected and performed. Main summon sequences are skippable FMVs. This does not apply to Chocobo Mode summons. Materia does not divide like it did in Final Fantasy VII, though it does level up if two matching numbers corresponding to the slot are drawn in a modulating phase the likelihood of a level up is based upon a hidden EXP counter that gains points as Zack defeats enemies the higher the counter, the greater chance of leveling up 1 4 as a SOLDIER 2nd Class, or 1 6 as a SOLDIER 1st Class. Materia may grant significant bonuses to Zacks HP, MP, AP, ATK, VIT, MAG, SPR, or LCK. Materia can be customized through the Materia Fusion process. Players cannot buy weapons. The game begins with Zack holding a typical SOLDIER sword, but he eventually moves on to wield the Buster Sword. In some cases special weapons are utilized, like wielding a parasol during a vacation to Costa del Sol. Equipment is limited to accessories that grant various stat boosts and special effects when equipped. Two to four pieces of equipment can be worn depending on requirements. The shops are entered via the main menu. More shops are added by proceeding in the storyline, and by doing missions which reward the player with access to new shops. None of the shops will sell Phoenix Downs, which must be found in treasure chests or won in missions. Since the game takes place seven years before Final Fantasy VII, many places on the Planet are either under construction or otherwise different from Final Fantasy VII. The city of Midgar has not yet been completed, and the town of Nibelheim is still filled with its original inhabitants. Several playable or otherwise major characters from Final Fantasy VII make cameo appearances. The world is in the grip of the Shinra Electric Power Company who dominates via its monopoly to Mako energy, a power sourced directly from the Lifestream, the life force of the Planet itself. Having become the worlds de factor ruler, Shinra operates on many different fronts from vehicle and weapons manufacturing to genetic engineering. Only the distant Wutai nation opposes Shinras hegemony, but the Shinra armies are making headway into defeating the nation with its army that includes an elite Soldier force called SOLDIER, consisting of SOLDIER enhanced with Mako power, and three SOLDIER enhanced with both Mako, and Jenova cells the SOLDIER First Class members. SOLDIER has three legendary members which are the only 1st Classs so far. The most famous is Sephiroth, the strongest SOLDIER member ever known. Genesis Rhapsodos wishes to obtain Sephiroths glory for himself, and has amassed a following for himself, as Shinra starts fan clubs to revere its SOLDIER members to improve the companys public image. Angeal Hewley is often considered the heart of the SOLDIER whose dedication to upholding SOLDIER honor has made him popular. He often mentors the lower class SOLDIERs, including Zack Fair, who strives to become a hero of SOLDIER like Sephiroth. Shinras seat of power is located in the metropolis of Midgar that is ringed by numerous Mako Reactors. Though the lives of those living off the ground level on a colossal plate suspended by pillars is cushy, the pollution the reactors sucking the Planets life force from the ground causes is evident in the slums under the plate whose dwellers hardly ever see the light of day. Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII only has one playable character. To become a Hero. Edit. Zack in a virtual training simulation. Zack is a SOLDIER 2nd Class under Angeals mentorship with a dream of becoming a hero. During a training simulation in the SOLDIER training room in Shinra HQ, Zack loses against a simulated Sephiroth forcing Angeal to abort the session. Soonafter, Angeal leaves the SOLDIER training room and tells Zack, Embrace your dreams, to be a hero, you need to have dreams, and honor. A SOLDIER member with Genesiss likeness. After Angeal and Zack leave the training room, they later head to the SOLDIER director Lazards office, and they learn Angeals childhood friend, Genesis, has betrayed Shinra and deserted with a number of other SOLDIER members. Lazard proceeds to give Zack and Angeal orders to go to Fort Tamblin for the final battle of the Wutai War. Before beginning their mission, Angeal tells Zack that he recommended him to become 1st Class. While approaching the Wutai stronghold Angeal tells Zack about his childhood. He grew up poor in Banora Village known for its dumbapples, apples exclusive to the region that ripen at random times of the year, which he would pilfer to feed himself. He was best friends with the mayors son, Genesis Rhapsodos, and never stole from his familys tree even if it was the biggest in the village, and was too proud to ask for handouts. Angeal explains his weapon, the Buster Sword, represents his familys honor and thus he avoids wearing it down. The two split and Zack infiltrates the fortress alone. Inside he meets a young girl called Yuffie, who soon runs off. Zack is ambushed by two monsters and is saved by Angeal. Blocco Installazione Aggiornamenti Windows 7 on this page. When Zack notes Angeal used the Buster Sword, his mentor retorts Zacks life is slightly more important than the sword. Angeal goes back on his own, and after Zack is finished with his work, he goes looking for Angeal. On the way, Zack encounters and battles an Ifrit that is suddenly summoned. Zack thinks he defeats it, but it gets back up and overwhelms him when he lets his guard down. Sephiroth suddenly appears and defeats it saving Zack. Zack and Sephiroth find several soldiers working under Genesis who look exactly like him, transformed into copies of him thanks to stolen Shinra technology.
