Therefore we have been advised that a new location has been found for the server and the site is to move.

Photographs of Before Crisis Advertising Board [updated with more photos] Here are several shots of advertising boards for the cell phone game, Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis, one of which was taken from the Ueno Station (somewhere in Tokyo). It shows both old and new faces. Various members of the Turks are seen (e.g. Rude, Reno and Tseng), as well as Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth, obviously at the time when they were still with Shinra. FFVII: BC takes place six years prior to the original game. You control the Turks as main characters, and perhaps will meet Cloud or Sephiroth at some point. The artwork was likely done by Tetsuya Nomura, the character designer for the title. Advertising boards such as this can be found in many other stations throughout Japan. » View Photo... » More Photos...

Square-Enix on Production and PSP Computer and Video Games has an article on Advent Children release details. On talking to a Square-Enix official, they were advised that "production is as good as complete" but that "release details cannot yet be confirmed". The article says that the company did have a period of time where the title will be a PSP exclusive, with a DVD release to follow. Although there is still further speculation that this will depend on the PSP launch and how it ties in to S-E's release schedule, so perhaps exclusive content may be an option instead. » Computer and Video Games Article » Discuss in the forums... 04 Jul 2004 : Posted by Summoner Yuna |

FFVII-Related Advertisements Seen in Trains [updated 7/7] Advertisements for Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and Before Crisis can now be found in subway trains on the Yamanote and Chuo Lines. Terms such as "Sephiroth", "Midgar", "Jenova", "Lifestream", "ShinRa Corporation" and "Turks, Avalanche" can be seen splashed across one advertisement.

Another advertisement states: "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII -- Part 1" and "The first thing to be revealed: the truth behind the Turks."
