Tip & Tricks, a very reliable gaming magazine I subscribe to, has briefly mentioned some tidbits about the prequal to FFVII. It's called "Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis" and you walk around as people that look to be Turks. This is based about six years before the happenings of FFVII.
According to the pictures (which don't necessarily mean anything), it's an action game, not RPG. You walk around and fight enemies as they appear on the screen (like with Final Fight). So far, it's only for Japanese cell phones of some sort.
This kinda' sucks. I think they're really trying to get people to stop asking for sequals to FFVII. They never really liked FFVII in the first place. They were more interested with FFVIII, and FFVII was just a practice run to learn the coding. So says Squaresoft themselves (in an interview with T&T).



:shoot:

. One nifty thing, I thought, is that it appears that other people can connect to play multiplayer wirelessly at any time. So if you're having trouble with an enemy, and someone sees you, they can join in and help you right then and there. That part sounds pretty cool.
. I'm perfectly happy with the movie, myself. Anyway, if you dont like the action game, don't play it, like you said. I dont like the idea either, and personally I dont think the game needed a prequel, anyway. Or even if it did, on or the other would be better, not both.
