Before Crisis tells the story of the Investigation Sector of The General Affairs Department, also simply known as Turks, a organization working for the Shinra Electric Power Company, a famous name in the world of Final Fantasy 7.

Before Crisis starts seven years before the events of FF7, and you get to see the daily life of the turks, making missions for the company, fighting against the first group of mercenaries known as AVALANCHE, who are trying to protect the planet from ShinRA, who is little by little destroying it, taking the mako energy from the earth (That in this case, is the planet Gaia).

You basically play as the villain, seeing their perspectives of what they do, even though it may look wrong for everyone else.

Famous characters of the FF7 universe are present, as Reno, Rude, and Tseng. But you play as Shotgun, a rookie starting your first day working for the turks, and you see her journey in those seven years, meeting all the new turks, looking for a reason to keep fighting, and witnessing events that will lead to the beginning of FF7.

*This is a remake of the game Before Crisis released only in Japan.

I've tested it, and so far the only difference is that the intro video doesn't play, but everything else seems to work just fine.
Dear richterw,

This is fantastic, thanks for the effort and to bring this to us.

I want to ask you, is there a chance to have the other special episodes, including Reno Special Episode?

Thanks

Oh, that's really great! I guess Hollander it's there, looking forward to it.
Quick question: what is left as missing content?

Basically what's missing so far is episode Reno (which fills some gaps from crisis core and the Genesis story), episode Legend and the post-game content about Weapon.

PLEase make episode Legend!!!

I'll be taking a break from before crisis, i just made fixes to the main game, along with episode Tseng and Reno (and each one of those was already supposed to be the last thing i was going to do XD).
Not saying that i'm never going to do it, but for now, i'm working on another project.
Thank you for developing this. I appreciate the time and effort you have put into this, and being able to play it at all is fantastic.

The script itself contains many errors in the English that aren't present in Dark Angel's original translation, however that's really a minor concern, I can read that elsewhere.

I downloaded and completed this game before you added in the Reno episode, I will have to see if/how I can play that without staring over. Very excited for it, thank you so much!

The correct script text can be found here if you ever find the time to make corrections. I appreciate you won;t have the time, and I'd offer to help but I am probably out of my depth here. I can supply the script in Google sheets or Excel format if it ever helps. Alternatively the correct script on turkleader is found here:

Hey, I'm having an issue with the RAR. It's telling me the archive is damaged. Am I the only one, or are other folks getting this issue too?

The rar files are valid but you may be trying to open them using an older version of Winrar which won't work - try to use 7zip to extract or a newer version of Winrar.
I downloaded it on my phone and I refused to open. I might be just an idiot but how do I get it to work?

You need to have easyrpg installed on android. After that, you download and extract the files, then you move the main folder to the "easyrpg>games" folder in your phone. That's it.

If it is the last updated build, you can use the cellphone at anytime from the items menu, to buy stuff from the shop.
There's people making translations,
if you add the Legend Epidode,
as stand alone /dlc game is better.

Actually I want to edit the game
but maybe I'll do a language
selector menu
and all the script, calling
to common events.
Variable language
0-English
1-Spanish
X-Other unused

Obviously the System text can't
use more languages.
Good story it actually explains a lot of things that were not really explained in Crisis Core such as why Cisnei is present but doesn't appear within the original game. Few typos that are somewhat annoying main one that annoyed me was Zack being spelt as Zach half the time.

However gameplay needs a lot of work. You could very easily add in gear that players can use to customise and have certain abilities that you use for certain enemies. I spent the whole game spamming the ice spell you find in Junon. Enemies are very repetitive as well as being very week.
A lot of the time enemies are hitting for 0 damage.
There also appears to be a lack of bosses. Even when you fight Zack you don't even have to do much.

Graphically out of combat its passable, some dungeons are dull but doesn't look as bad as say some RTP games. However in battle it just looks horrible and blurred you cant tell what most the enemies are.
Considering its a final fantasy game and final fantasy uses the same monsters you could probably find sprites for the enemies that fits with the world but doesn't look out of place.
You also definatly need different enemies. In the shinra building the shinra soldiers you fight have the same sprite as the AVALANCH troopers you fight.

That's pretty cool :)
Hey I've been playing this and I absolutely adore it. I'm incredibly thankful that you took the time to do this for the fans. You did an amazing job.

But I'm experiencing an error that's preventing me from continuing the game.. The section where
Shotgun follows Rude's "girlfriend" underground
keeps crashing on me, giving the same error message. It says "Event script referenced an event that does not exist."

Do you know what I can do to fix this? I genuinely love this and really want to keep playing! Thank you xx
