08/31/2007: "Assorted News Bits: FFVII Gallery and Potions, Crisis Core, Before Crisis"
FF_Compilations and Kotaku have posted a number of pictures from the FFVII 10th Anniversary Gallery (previously mentioned here). The first two sets of FF_Compilations pics are of special items that will be included with either one of two different types of canned FFVII Potions (separate from the Limited Edition version): a Trading Arts figurine or poster, each depicting a character (or characters) from various Compilation titles. The third set is of a model of Midgar that was also shown. Kotaku has additional photos from the Gallery, including FFVII concept art and a congratulatory note from Sony Computer Entertainment's Kaz Hirai. They also have more pictures of the canned Potions here. (ETA: More photos! Famitsu's batch is from the opening reception, where Ayaka performed the Crisis Core theme song "Why". Worth checking out for the pic of the life-size Buster Sword replica!)
Rounding out the FF_Compilations post are screenshots from Famitsu of the Nibelheim incident, as seen in Crisis Core, and news of a special new episode in Before Crisis that features Reno as a playable character for the first time (note: spoilers abound for this episode).
