News Update

September 03, 2004 - Square Enix revealed today what we've known for the past week: Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII is very popular. According to the company, the mobile title, which is now undergoing a beta test program in Japan, was being accessed at levels approaching one hundred times the expected amount in its early days of testing. This amounts to a total of 1.6 million accesses on the first day, with a peak of 160,000 in an hour.

When accessing the Before Crisis site on the first day of the beta test, had to wait nearly twenty-four hours before we could successfully download the application and begin play. Since that time, playing the game has meant lengthy pauses for downloads and other accesses to the network. Still, we were able to play enough of the game to write a lengthy impressions piece, which you should definitely check out.
Square Enix promises to fix its system and add more servers in time for the 9/24 start of full service.
