What is crisis as in before crisis and crisis core in Final Fantasy VII?

Answer 1

No, 'Before Crisis' is a mobile phone game set 6 years before the events of the original Final Fantasy 7. It concerns the Turks, fighting against AVALANCHE.

'Crisis Core' is a PSP game, the events portrayed within are set a short time before the start of Final Fantasy 7, and mostly concern the backgrounds of Zack Fair and Cloud Strife.

Answer 2

all the games that have "crisis" in them are prequels to the original game, so the crisis they're referring to is most likely the plot line of ff7, which makes sense, as before crisis takes place before the rebellion of avalanche was ever even thought of, and crisis core is the true beginning of the storyline, explaining the origins of Cloud, Sephiroth, and the, until then, mysterious Zack Fair. that said, every gamer should start with the original FF7, as it is the ideal entry point into the saga
