I struggled with the repetitiveness of Crisis Core on the PSP, even though I really wanted to see more of the background for these characters. I'm told it was somewhat improved on the new versions, so I'm hoping it will go better when I finally get my hands on it.

I don't know what the gameplay was like in the original, but I really like the battle system in the new version; it's fast-paced, it feels good and it includes an element of strategy without being overcomplicated. I also appreciate the Internet for informing me that enemies won't spawn if you stick close to walls, so it's easy to skip battles if you just want to head straight for the goal.

Also, hello; it's nice to meet you! If you're wondering how I came to subscribe to you, I spotted you in tobli's comments, wandered over and thought your journal was interesting.
