Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - demo Two playable demos of " Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - " exist , the first made available at Jump Festa gaming convention at 2006 , which took place between December 16th and 17th , and the second at Square Enix Party on May 12th and 13th , 2007 . No playable demo of the game has been distributed publicly . " Crisis Core ' s " appearance at Jump Festa was the first time a playable version of the game was demonstrated to players . Jump Festa demo . The playable demo had two playable scenarios , one at Banora village , and another one at Fort Tamblin . Both scenarios had sections removed from the full game , to simply give taste of the game ' s battle system and environments . The first scenario started off with Zack in Shinra Headquarters where he receives orders for a mission to investigate a missing soldier , Genesis Rhapsodos . Sephiroth had been ordered to do this mission , but had rejected it , leading Zack being sent instead . Following this opening sequence , Zack and Tseng head off to a mountainside area where they begin their investigation . The scenario comes to an end with a few simple fights followed by a boss battle against Ifrit . Ifrit is able to perform his FMV summon attack against the player in the demo . Notably , Ifrit is not a boss in this area in the final game . In the Fort Tamblin scenario the player starts in forests around Wutai with Zack and Angeal out on a mission . After a few battles Zack faces off in a stand - off with Wutai guards , with new ones appearing as the current ones are defeated . Clearing this , the player enters the fort to face off against two boss beasts simultaneously . The entire section where Zack goes through the fort in the final game is missing in the demo , and entering the fort immediately pits him against the bosses . Square Enix Party demo . Like the Jump Festa demo , the demo available at Square Enix party had two playable scenarios ; one encompassing the events at the Shinra Headquarters when the building comes under attack by Genesis ' s forces , and a scenario where Zack meets Angeal and has to fight Bahamut Fury . The Shinra Headquarters scenario begins with Zack and Sephiroth meeting with Lazard who tells them Angeal and Genesis have defected the company and must be eliminated . The building comes under attack and Sephiroth is sent off to protect President Shinra . Zack is sent to the main entrance where he must fight battles against robots and Genesis copies . Outside the Shinra Headquarters at Sector 8 Zack meets Reno and Rude who tell him Sector 8 is under the Turks ' jurisdiction , and Zack meets Cissnei for the first time . Zack fights some more Genesis copies and after the battle Cissnei touches a dead copy ' s wing telling Zack that when she was young she always wanted to have wings . Zack ' s cellphone rings and Sephiroth tells him Angeal has been sighted at the Sector 5 Reactor , and that they will go there to help him out , at which point the scenario ends . The second scenario takes place on the Midgar highway where Zack fights more Genesis copies , Shinra robots and a mini - boss , after which Angeal appears and flies Zack away to the Shinra Headquarters . The copies are attacking Professor Hojo so Zack is sent to save him . Genesis and Angeal appear on the scene and after talking about LOVELESS Genesis flies out the window and casts a summon spell . Angeal flies Zack to the summoning scene and Zack must battle Bahamut Fury . After the battle both Angeal and Genesis have disappeared , and Zack wonders what happened to them , at which point the demo concludes . Gameplay . The demos demonstrated the basic gameplay of " Crisis Core " with the random battles in place as well as set boss battles . In the Jump Festa demo , Zack had a number of commands available : the regular Attack command as well as Fire , Blizzard , Cure , and their higher level counterparts .
