03/27/2007: "New Crisis Core Trailer, Square Enix Party Details"

The Jump Festa trailer for Crisis Core is now available online, and can be seen here (link via Final Fantasy Press). It contains much of the same footage as the TGS trailer, but also features plenty of new material. As usual, please be aware that there are potential spoilers. (Related link: Forums Discussion [contains spoilers]) (UPDATE [03/28/07]: Looks like the new trailer has been taken off YouTube. Fortunately, Gametrailers.com has a copy here. Thanks to TheMissingCloud for the link!)

In other news, Square Enix has released a list of what will be shown at their Square Enix Party, coming up in May. Among the FFVII-related titles being shown are Crisis Core, Before Crisis, and the Blu-Ray-only Advent Children Complete.

Finally, a little note of interest for my fellow collectors: it's recently come to my attention that a second series of Final Fantasy Master Creatures is on the way. Based on the Final Fantasy Creatures trading figures, the Master Creatures are larger, more detailed versions of the same. FFVII's Ifrit was featured in the first series of Master Creatures, and in Series 2, a magnificent Knights of the Round figure will make its debut. Along with the rest of Series 2, the Knights of the Round will be on sale in both Japan and North America this summer.

The video has been removed, but you can find the same thing here with a little better quality. Note: there may be an advertisement before the video.

You're welcome. I come here often, but have never really bothered to comment until now. I figured since I had the link handy after posting it at my forum that I may as well post it on one of the best FFVII sites on the net.

Can't wait for CC. I'm glad that theres finally some info about it now.

Really hope CC would be better than DC or AC. While it was enjoyable, it didn't quite had the same awe as FF7. I think its because of the high expectations that i had for compliation. Hooray for high expectations!

I can't wait for CC to come out, it was the whole reason I bought a PSP. Oh, and that Knights of the Round thing is SO COOL!

I was not disappointed in the slightest by AC. I expected a decent plot, excellent animation, and a fuckton of fanservice. I got it all in spades.

However, CC... Has got me a bit concerned. I dunno what they might do to my beloved universe. AC and even DoC were forgivable to virtually all extents because it happened post-game, it's there's to do with as they please.
However, with the event of CC- though as eager as I am for it- and the popularity of BC, the possible remake of FF7 might have a few too many tweaks to it to the fans enjoyment.
I pray that this all ties in together and that this Program Genesis and whatnot mentioned throughout it doesn't interfere with it. Nor that other One Winged character...
I see what they're doing. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a fan-fiction put into 3D.

Well said Manga. That is exactly my thought.
