12/10/2004: "The Original FF7 Hype"

Today, we have a new page under Game Information about a moment in time from early on in FF7's development, when the game was slated to appear on the Nintendo 64! Included in this article are screenshots from a demo version of the N64 Final Fantasy VII, which actually features 3D versions of FF6 characters. Thanks go out to Tristan for contributing magazine scans of these images and their accompanying articles.

Under Downloads, there are two new files for users of FF7 for the PC. First off is the Chocobo Patch, which is highly recommended for anyone installing FF7 under Windows XP. The second file the Sephiroth Patch, which places this silver-haired villain in Cloud's role (and believe me, you haven't lived until you've seen Sephiroth in the Honeybee Inn!).

In the Advent Children section, I've compiled a list of all the AC merchandise that's currently (or will be) available. And finally, in the Article Archive for 2004-2005, there's a piece by me titled "What's Next for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII?"
