History Trivia / CrisisCore

* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: This is one of the few of Creator/SquareEnix's games for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable that wasn't made available digitally following its physical release. No one knows why for sure, but fandom speculation points to one of the game's characters actually using the likeness of Japanese singer Creator/{{Gackt}} and suggested that whatever contract he and Square Enix made during the game's production doesn't allow for a digital release. Whatever the reason, it isn't applicable to the 2022 ''Reunion'' [[VideoGameRemake remake]][=/=][[UpdatedRerelease remaster]], which is available on the digital storefront UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, and those of all the consoles it's releasing on.

* TheOtherDarrin: ''Reunion'' drops the original English voice cast for the voice actors from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake''. In addition to returning cast members:
** Genesis is voiced by Shaun Conde instead of Oliver Quinn.
** Bill Millsap replaces Josh Gilman as Angeal.
** Creator/KayliMills voices Cissnei instead of Creator/CarrieSavage.
** Lazard is voiced by Francis Aulsey instead of Stefan Marks.
** Creator/JasonMarnocha replaces Sterling Young as Hollander.

* TrollingCreator: Square Enix Japan sent specially boxed copies of ''Reunion'' to various popular Website/{{Twitch}} streamers and [[LetsPlay Let's Players]] (such as [[LetsPlay/YoVideogames Maximilian Dood]]), and among the contents - a bomber jacket plus the game - was a small box that said "[[https://youtu.be/sHmXiK7YMZw?t=2076 Do Not Open Until End Credits Roll]]." Inside that small box was a handkerchief embroidered with one of Angeal's lines, "Embrace your dreams." Given the game's DoomedByCanon ending, Square knew tears would be shed.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The game as it was originally conceived would have explored Zack and Cloud's friendship at greater depth and their escape after the Nibelheim incident, but hardware limitations forced developers to cut nearly all of it out and focus on Zack's role as a warrior instead.

* MythologyGag: Zack starts Crisis Core at level 6, the same level Cloud starts the original game at.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Cissney first appeared in ''Before Crisis'' as a playable character, but thanks to that game's obscurity, she's much more widely known for this game. She wasn't named aside from "Shuriken (Female)" due to being named by the player. Cissnei not being her real name is a shout out to this.
