Final Fantasy VII question

I haven't played final fantasy VII but was thinking about buying crisis core anyways, since it's a prequel.I was wondering if I should play the original PS1 title first. Also, someone said that the FFVII available on the PS store played badly on the psp, can anyone confirm this for me?Thanks in advance.Final Fantasy VII question
As a prequel that came out 10 years later, the backstory will probably make more sense if you play FF7 first, the Crisis Core. There is foreshadowing, but it's foreshadowing that assumes that you have already played FF7. I have seen absolutely no problems with FF7 on the PSP, about 20 hours in.Final Fantasy VII question
Playing Crisis Core first is like starting with The Phantom Menace when watching the Star Wars movies. There are a few key plot points that will be spoiled for you if you start with Crisis Core.
