History and information about the game]</small> '''Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (クライシス コア -ファイナルファンタジーVII- ,Kuraishisu Koa -Fainaru Fantajī Sebun-?) ''' is an action role-playing game developed by Square Enix for the PlayStation Portable. The game is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII and is also the sixth installment in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Production was overseen by Yoshinori Kitase, the director of the original Final Fantasy VII, with Hajime Tabata as the game's director and Tetsuya Nomura as the game's character designer.
<small>http://enThe game's tagline is "Men cry not for themselves, but for their comrades", a quote from LOVELESS.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crises_core</small>

==Data Retreival and Organisation== Extracting the Data Files using the [[FF7:CC#Tools|FF7CC Data Extractor]] results in 8725 .RAW files.This file extension does not represent any specific file format and was used to clarify the "raw" nature of the data.

In japanese version it looked too much like cathlic Maria so in US release they made completly new model for it.

== Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core ==
The game mainly focuses around Zack Fair, a 2nd Class SOLDIER, and the events leading up to his destined demise. He meets many of the Final Fantasy VII characters, including Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough, with whom he develops strong bonds. The game's storyline takes the player from the war with the Wutai to the events at Nibelheim, and right up to the time just before the Final Fantasy VII beginning. Some of the missing events or plot holes from Nibelheim and afterwards are explained in the animated feature, Last Order: Final Fantasy VII.
== Data Retreival and Organisation ==
Every RAW file can be categorised into specific File-Format Types by reading the first 8-bytes of the file.
The RAW files themselves appear to be organised into clusters of same Types, or of similar function:
