all games are not created equal

Crisis Core didn't even come close to anything that FF7 had.  It was kinda cool to see the FF7 characters in a different context, but that was pretty much the coolest part of FF7:CC. 

CC has a different battle system than FF7.  In FF7, you could wait and choose what you wanted to do without being attacked.  In CC, it's all in realtime, so you have to choose your action quickly so you don't get beaten to death while trying to figure out what to do.  Only problem is that CC does it totally wrong.  You only control Zack the entire game, so I fought every single battle the exact same way.  I don't think I ever even used an offensive spelling like fire the entire game.  There also was never a point where I had to come up with a plan to beat a huge boss.  In FF7, some of those bosses you really had to get leveled up and equipped properly to even come close to beating them.

I can't even remember any cool parts of CC.  Not like FF7 where I can say "oo, that part with the marching" or "the air duct thing".  Best I can do for CC is "o, that part when i did 100 squats" or "that part where i fought 250 of the same enemy to get a potion" or something.
