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.

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


I'm glad you're enjoying it. I assume you're probably skipping the text message too fast. It's a known issue. In case going slower doesn't solve it and the crash keeps happening, i think the best solution would be to alternate your save between pc and easyrpg on android. Like, save before the crash, play the game on another platform to see if it happens. If it works beyond the point that it crashes, then save and transfer the save file back to his original folder. Sorry for this convoluted solution, is all i can think right now.
I'm making some changes.
A team did a spanish translation, I asked about do the betatesting work but as I'm an old user of Rpg maker, I started to make some changes.
Fix bugs, use FF7 Sfx, new graphics, etc
I expect to find a way to make this version multi language if they make Easyrpg Lcftrans.

That's awesome!
Hey richterw - thanks so much for all the hard work you and your colleagues have put into bringing the game to us. I remember when it first came out being insanely jealous of those who could play it on the old DoCoMo phones - to the point I even tried actually trying to get one but as a poor student wasn't able to!

I'll be streaming this version you've made every Weds eve (UK time) on Twitch, so if you're ever interested in seeing someone do a blind playthrough, it would be great to say thanks to you directly.
Hi! i recently finishd playing crisis core and after finishing it,i started searching something on before crisis,i found this i downloaded it and i started playing. And its a really good work but when i reach chapter 6

SPOILER
the chapter when rude is dating an avalanche spy,when shotgun arrives at the hole following chelsea,the game crash with the error "event doesn't exist". I tried again,opening the game with the latest save and this time the game crash even before that scene,it crash when reno start following chelsea with he same error. What do i have to do? i really want to continue this game but with this error i can't.

You're probably skipping dialogue too fast. The way i made cutscenes is a little janky. Try going a little slow and see if that works.

Made an account just to ask if this includes all the chapters? Your previous comments says otherwise, however those were years ago.

All the chapters from the main story + 2 extra chapters.
I believe the only thing missing is Legend's chapter and post game content, i.e. looking for Jade weapon.
Hi, love what you did here. Is their a way you can provide the source code for this? I ask cause I want to put it on my Android flip phone to make it feel like a real Mobile experience. I found out a way to make it so that you can take rug maker games and put it on android. And amazing work that you did here.

If you install easyrpg on android you can play it on a cellphone.
I have downloaded it, but how do I play it? There's nothing but a bunch of files and folders. Please excuse me if I've omitted to do something obvious. I'm a bit of a noob at this.

Open the main folder, and look for rpgrt.exe, it's down there along with the map files.
Hey @richterw for some reason my directional keyboard keys don't work when I boot up the game. Shotgun immediately runs upward at the beginning and on the title screen, it just cycles between the three options. Any way to fix this? I even tried using my Xbox One controller to see if that would do anything.

I also posted this error over at Itch.io: https://richterwilker.itch.io/before-crisis-remake
Thanks, I'm looking for this for FF 7 prequel, Japanese version only happened but USA never happen. This looks astounding before FF 7 event in PlayStation one. I never play FF 7 yet. A R I G A T O :)
Hello @richterw,

Can this be played on a mini hand-held console like Miyoo Mini+ that runs on Onion OS??

Thanks so much for creating this! A wonderful contribution for the RPG community.

I guess if you can run EasyRPG in it, it would also run. As some advice, don't close dialogue boxes too fast, as to avoid any possible errors.
Hey, I tried to open it and it's suuuuuuper zoomed in. I can't do anything with it, nor can I try and switch it to a windowed version.
Any idea what's going on?
