Square-Enix Mobile will be both developing and releasing the new Final
Fantasy VII prequel titled Before Crisis. The subsidiary of Square-Enix
was created in late 2003. So far the only game that's been released
under the company's name is "Brave Shot," a space shooter. "Square-Enix
Gallery" was also available via AT&T's mMode phones. The gallery is a
set of themes that can be downloaded and loaded onto the user's phones.
Although it's been confirmed that Before Crisis will be developed and
released via Square-Enix Mobile, the company has not yet made any
comments about the possibilty of a release on a more standard gaming
platform.
Multiple reports have suggested that the game will be capable of
supporting multiple players, although the number of players hasn't been
confirmed by Square-Enix Mobile yet.
No cell phone brands or models have been confirmed, although it's quite
likely that Square-Enix Mobile will again choose to continue to back
their previous dealings with AT&T and Verizon.
There has also been no confirmation about a possible release outside of
Japan, on or off the mobile market.
