Game: Crisis Core

Fantastic story that deepens FFVII and a final sequence that rivals FFX in terms of raw power. The fact that they took a significant but very minor character from the original and not only built him up to be perhaps the best character in gaming, but they added depth to three of the most popular characters in history (Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth). This game floored me in many ways.

Overall: FFVII Compilation

As noted above, the story that has now been flushed out in other games and mediums with the FFVII universe is spectacular. But it is the movie Advent Children and the prequel Crisis Core that really makes the compilation. My only problem with the compilation is the fact that there seems to be two pieces that really don't mesh with the rest (Last Order and the Maiden short story). I'm not sure if they are true aspects of the compilation or more of the creators having a bit of fun tweaking the original aspects of the story to see what happens since both now have stark contradictions with what was done in Crisis Core.
