== Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core ==
'''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.
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.
<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 ==
 ==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.
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:

== Differences between Japanese, US and PAL versions ==
===Hidden Event-Dialogues Menu and/or Materia=== Contained within Japanese one has two diffs. First of all ATEL files are the following Menu-Dialogue texts.* The "Kupo!" suggests a Moogle narrating, possibly related to the [[Debug Menu]].* The "Materia japanese version has leveled up!" suggests maybe a hidden Materia more audio files than english one (It was used to initiate this Menuconfirmed while making an undub of english one ;P) and has changed Minerva statue model. In japanese version it looked too much like cathlic Maria so in US release they made completly new model for it.
