There's no substantive news here besides my resounding disappointment that Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, is conspicuously missing from any JUMP FESTA news and major coverage. Has the crisis stalled out before it even began? The game concluded last year in Japan, and Square Enix has expertly avoided speaking about it with a frenzy of new games.

English Demos and screens were available at E3 2006, but since then news has been scarce and withheld. Perhaps, as with a small minority of Enix games, Before Crisis has hit the shelf? . That's where we stand; just letting you all know that it's looking less and less like we're going to see Before Crisis any time soon.
