Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis Announced

When rumors of a Final Fantasy VII sequal first surfaced (which was probably about five minutes after Final Fantasy VII was released) there was always talk of a game staring the Shinra G-men, The Turks. After Advent Children was announced most have given up on hopes for a game starring the Tarentino-esque hatchet men (and woman) but fear not for Square Enix has just announced Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis.





The game is a cellphone exclusive and it takes place six years before the events of Final Fantasy VII. The game will be about the Turks rise in the Shinra company. It appears to be an Action RPG with some turn-based elements. Also up to three players can join in if they all have the game installed on their cell phones.

It is unknown at this time if and when US players will get a chance to play this title. The cellphone platform has yet to be announced but all the other Square Enix cellphone titles have been for the Japan exclusive NTT DoCoMo. But keep those hopes up: Square Enix has stated that they want to support the cellphone videogame market on both sides of the pacific.
