Discover how many chapters are in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and get a breakdown of each chapter's name and potential missables. Plan your playthrough!
Hey there! So you're diving into Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and wondering how much story you've got ahead of you? It's a pretty solid adventure, and to give you a clear picture, let's break down the game's structure. You're looking at a prologue followed by 10 main chapters.
The whole story will probably take you around 10-15 hours if you're just rushing through the main plot. But honestly, to really get the most out of Crisis Core, you'll want to spend a lot more time exploring and tackling those side missions. There are a bunch of missable trophies and achievements, and the DMW (that's the Digital Mind Wave system, a core mechanic) has a lot of hidden depths to unlock, which can easily add many more hours to your playtime.
The game's flow is pretty neat: you'll usually progress through a new chapter, then get a chance to explore areas like the Shinra Building or Sector 8 for any items or side quests you might have missed. Then, you'll unlock and dive into side missions before continuing the main story. Add in the Materia Fusion system, which is super important for getting stronger, and your playtime can really stretch out.
To help you keep track, here's a list of all the chapter names. Just a heads-up, some of these might hint at story developments, so read on only if you're ready!
| Chapter Number | Chapter Name | Missables |
| – | Prologue | – |
| 1 | Embrace Your Dreams | Checklist |
| 2 | Betrayal? | Checklist |

While you can technically zip through the main story pretty quickly, I really, really suggest diving into all the side content. It's where you'll find some of the game's best moments and really get to know Zack and the other characters better. Plus, there's a hard mode and New Game+ to keep you busy after you finish, especially if you want to master that awesome Materia Fusion system.
