Crisis Core, despite being an absolute piece of junk when it comes to gameplay (I'm looking at you, completely random summon system and time freezeing attacks in a real-time game), had one thing it did really well. The characters from FFVII were really, really well portrayed. Zack, Aeris, Sephiroth, Tseng are, for the first half of the game (until Zack gets his emo-hair and throws his personality away), awesome. We actually get to see what Sephiroth the hero was like, and we get to see the great relationship between Zack and Aeris. Even Cloud's pretty good, especially compared to the rest of the Compilation.
But the story, and every character they added, is complete and total crap.
Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus both had pathetic plots in addition to completely misunderstanding Cloud's personality. For that matter, they screwed him up in Kingdom Hearts as well.
The Compilation sucks because it features overcomplicated, nonsensical plots, and frequently gets the main characters and themes from the original game wrong.
