04/24/2006: "E3 2006 Preview, New AC Collectables, and More!"

All the (perfectly understandable) excitement over AC's English-language release aside, it's never too early for an E3 preview! Of interest to FFVII fans is the fact that Square Enix will once again showcase the Compilation of FFVII titles Dirge of Cerberus and Before Crisis. On Square Enix's E3 site, which launched today, images with English dialogue are featured for both DC and BC for what's quite possibly the first time ever, and tentative release dates are given (Summer 2006 for DC, and a more broad "2006" for BC). Are both games really due for Western shores before the end of the year? Time, and perhaps E3 2006, will tell.

It has also recently come to our attention that a fantastic pair of Advent Children statues is slated for retail release sometime in the future. You may see these statues here, but be forewarned that they depict a MAJOR SPOILER for the movie.

New on the Citadel today are song lyrics for the original FFVII's "One Winged Angel" on the FFVII Discography page, as well as lyrics for some of AC's tracks on the AC Music page. The AC FAQ and AC Collectables pages are also now fully up-to-date.
