    The site is very slim on any kind of information. Are all the games related in anyway? I know they are all an offshoot of Final Fantasy VII, but in what way? Oh well, hopefully a more meaty article will come along.


    Not sure if the naming of all the titles have any hidden meaning or significance either: Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus

    It is the second product in this line-up that bugs me. I wonder if we'll ever get to play Before Crisis in the US? And what phones/networks will be supported.

    Before when the FF games were not related one could easily skip a game and not feel like he was missing part of the bigger picture. But now with these related releases it feels like I'm being given a puzzle with a missing piece that I have no way of retrieving.

    Anyway this game will probably be the reason I buy a PSP (I sure hope it can run on AC power).

    This is NOT an RPG, it is an [url=http://www.gamespot.com/psp/rpg/crisiscorefin alfantasyvii/news_6111574.html]action RPG[/url]. The difference between this is the difference between Zelda and Final Fantasy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but some people (e.g. me) prefer RPGs because we're no good at action games.
