A few days before its official release on March 25, news spread that a copy of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII has leaked, and can be downloaded from the internet. True enough, several links became available, claiming that they have the full English copy (the Japanese version has already been released last year) of this very much-awaited PSP game.

Even though I know that curiosity sometimes can kill (or even brick PSPs ^^), it didn't stop me from trying this on my console. I've waited for this game for so long that I can't wait for 4 more days!

And after hours of downloading, with my fingers crossed, I was able to play CC: FF7 on my PSP! And it's really the English version! ^^

Here are more screenshots:

Zack Fair (the main character, sorry it's not Cloud Strife hehe) is about to jump from the company chopper onto a running train, taken from the opening FMV.

This is Zack about to take care of the first babies of the game. Unexpectedly, this FF is Hack&Slash, not the usual FF turn-based gameplay that we got used to.

You'll get to see some familiar faces, but only in their younger forms since this is supposed to be a prequel to the FF7 on PlayStation, like Yuffie. Is that really you?

So this is how Ifrit looks when he was younger... Badass!

Of course, you can download this game here. Kudos to the one who made it leak!

Just kidding. ^^
