Hamaguchi says summoning Knights of the Round will be in Revelation. Given how powerful the materia was in the original, they're making it a very formidable enemy. They had an emergency meeting among all the directors where he had to explain that Endo wants to make this boss stronger (MinnMax, 9/10)

Director Naoki Hamaguchi says they go deeper into Vincent's backstory in FFVII Revelation, and one thing interesting about him is that his hometown wasn't shown in the OG. There'll be some new reveals about things he did in the past and what made him as a character that people have never seen before

Asked what he's going to make next, FFVII Revelation Director Naoki Hamaguchi says that whether that's something else with Final Fantasy 7 or another Final Fantasy game entirely or something else completely, they want to bring the fans new and exciting challenges and gameplay experiences.

After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.

I'm so grateful that Sousi is doing this; Before Crisis was so network dependent that video footage is paramount to recreating the game. Fun fact, the in-game location where you fight Jade Weapon corresponded to your IRL location in Japan! Ex. Hokkaido -> Icicle Inn

As keitai game preservationists continue to work away at preserving Before Crisis FFVII, user Sousi has been uploading his own Before Crisis gameplay recordings. This includes our first ever video footage of Weapon D Mode (postgame Jade Weapon superboss) and Free Mode!

Needless to say, Japanese SAC now has the much better image for this option, though the English one does a better job of showing what it actually does in-game lol.

one of the things we're (I'm) going crazy with testing 7th Heaven for Japanese is the modern port has a narrower font, which means a lot of stuff isn't centered correctly the way it was in the PS1 version. so this is turning into a project of fixing all these terrible porting decisions as well

Happy 20th anniversary to the NTSC-U/C release of Dirge of Cerberus: FFVII! 🎉
Dozens of tweaks were made, like making Vincent move- and shoot faster. The main campaign received a NG+ in the form of Ex Hard difficulty. Extra Features included neat post-game challenges and rewards!

This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of Dirge of Cerberus: FFVII's NA release. What better way to spend it than playing the newly restored Lost Episode mobile game? A full English version is now available through the Keitai World Launcher.

In FFVII LO and BC, Sephiroth voluntarily jumps into the Lifestream in Nibelheim. This was the official version of the event around the time of AC, and is even mentioned in the Reunion Files. However, fan outcry led to it being changed back to the OG version for CC. (IGN, 2008) #FF7 #FFVII #BCFF7
