IGN's "History of Final Fantasy VII"
Gaming megasite IGN recently posted a seven-page article titled IGN Presents: The History of Final Fantasy VII. Though there is much in the article that has been covered at length elsewhere (including the Citadel), and despite some obvious retconning when the original game is discussed, it's a decent overview of FFVII's history and that of the Compilation which would later follow.

Happy Birthday to Us, Site Update, and an Announcement
For over a year now, we've been honoring the 10th Anniversary of the original Final Fantasy VII with monthly site themes. With this month, the Citadel marks the end of this celebration with another anniversary—our own. This month's banner should be familiar to longtime visitors of the site: it's a remake (so to speak) that I put together based on Ambigore's original from 2001 (archived in the Museum). The Aeris sidebar is also based on an earlier design, one that had graced the site at least as far back as 2000. With this new theme, I'd like to officially retire the Advent Children-themed look from before and return the site's design to its roots—FFVII itself.
Now, for the site updates. Well over a hundred official screenshots have been added to Crisis Core Images & Media, while Crisis Core Characters has been updated for two cameo appearances. Elsewhere, Retroactive Continuity in the Compilation has seen a small addition to its Crisis Core section, two new fanart pieces by me are now available, and the Press Releases and Links sections have been updated with new additions.
Finally, I'd like to announce that this is my final post as Webmaster; I am stepping down from this role and taking over the News Editor position from Ex-SOLDIER (who has a lot on his plate already as Forums Administrator) while continuing to serve as the site's Host. With that said, I'm pleased to announce that the Citadel's new Webmaster is CloudANDTidus. He's been an invaluable part of the Citadel's staff and community for quite some time now, and I know that he'll do a fantastic job as the latest in a long line of Citadel Webmasters.

A Plethora of Crisis Core Interviews
Three interviews relating to Crisis Core have surfaced online in the past few days, two (one at SPOnG and one at Pocket Gamer) with Executive Producer Yoshinori Kitase and Producer Hideki Imaizumi and one at bit-tech.net with just Kitase. Highlights from all three of these interviews after the cut.

Final Fantasy VII Famicom/NES Cart on eBay
As previously reported, there exists a Chinese pirate version of Final Fantasy VII for the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System. Today, again via GameSniped comes the news that one of these carts has shown up on eBay. As of this writing, it's still at its opening bid price of $24.99 with about six and a half days left to go. Good luck to anyone who chooses to bid on this rare oddity!
ETA (4/29): The auction has been removed. The seller noted in the GameSniped article's comments section that "Squeenix complained and had my auction pulled."

Fanfiction: Final Fantasy VII-Twisted and The Queen of Midgar
After that brief maintenance to the Article Archive and Fanfiction sections, we have returned with a flurry of new reading material for Citadeler's to devour. First up we have two new chapters for "The Queen of Midgar", continuing the epic alternative reality story written by Jacinth Nun and staring Reno, Rude and Tseng of the Turks. Again, this story is rated PG-13, so check it out!
Our next update to the archive is a piece of work originally written back in 1997. It had a good readership, was fully revised in 2004, but lost hosting and was never put back online until now. Today I'm happy to announce that the original author, Snowpuppet, has asked the Citadel to re-host "Final Fantasy VII-Twisted" in its revised form. Over the coming weeks we will post the full thirty chapter alternate reality story, of which you can read the first three right now. Twisted is also rated PG-13, and I urge you to go read.
Finally, a small issue has been fixed with "Midgar Story" that didn't allow access to the fifth chapter. We apologies for this inconvenience. As usual, submissions to the fanfiction and article archive are open for business, but please make sure to read the submission policy first.
Make sure to check back next week for more updates.
