I’ve endured every single Final Fantasy VII spin-off, side game, and sequel out there that I’ve been able to get my hands on. But, most of them have failed to live up to the pure joy I felt infiltrating the first Mako Reactor as Cloud and his pals during the original game. Crisis Core, the PSP prequel, changed all that, and while it’s still miles behind my love of the OG game, it’s an FF7 spin-off any fan owes it to themselves to play.Now, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion has dropped to just$19.99 at Best Buy, making it more affordable than ever to experience the real start of the FFVII story. It reached a similar low in July earlier this year but quickly bounced back to the $30 mark and has hovered there until Best Buy rolled out their Black Friday deals.With 33% off, there’s only a small saving to be had here. But picking up a huge part of the FFVII story for $10 off its MSRP of $29.99 is still worthwhile. (Take it from a FFVII fanatic.) Crisis Core isn’t the only PS5 game to get the $19.99 treatment at Best Buy either. Outer Wilds Archaeologist Edition, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Resident Evil 4 Remake have all reached that low a price, making them more affordable than ever this Black Friday.Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion |$29.99$19.99 at Best BuySave $10- This Black Friday is full of PS5 game deals that have shrunk the price down to just $19.99, and this FFVII prequel is one of them.
