Square-Enix is not taking any chances with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Billboard sized ads are outside when you wait for a train and when you get on the train a silent LCD screen rotates through a Crisis Core ad. Stores are giving Crisis Core premium real estate too with posters and in Shinjuku a stand right when you enter the video game section of Bic Camera. Along with shilling Crisis Core the guide, Final Fantasy VII International and boxes of the 40th anniversary potion are piled up. The only item they are missing are the limited edition Crisis Core PSPs, which sold out earlier this morning.
I’m right there with you Dan, I’d be maxing out my credit card if I ever travel to Japan. Man, Square-Enix needs to announce the US localization/realease date already! I’d like to playing this in March along with God of War
“40th anniversary potion “!!!! I’m gonna have to find all those FF games I’ve missed during the first 20 years. :D
Man, I just wish that we could have that kind of stuff over here. I’m a sucker for RPG’s and Square Enix and just about all the stuff they sell. Plus they had signs for It’s a Wonderful World! Man I hope they release that in the states.
I got a few of those potions from FFXII last time I was in Japan, horrible horrible stuff.
But the funniest thing about Square Enix is how horribly they treat the US market in terms of releases and localization times. I’m not talking about the US division (i’m sure they work extra hard), but the whole philosophy they take on making USA a secondary market despite the obvious demand for sales. Konami on the other hand with the MGS series is much better.
curious to see the sales on this one, although I’m not rooting for it, still if I had a job I’d get that FF7 PSP and this game. (while not rooting).
Nice to see FF7 PSone International edition in stock though (it’s in the first pic) I’ve been thinking of getting it, but no “ultimate hits” version for me.
I want this game so badly.
Judging from Squenix’s history, I believe we have a crappy change of getting that CC psp, which is sad. Hell, I’ve got a job, but I still won’t import it, because it’s like 400+ dollars! Plus, I’d still need a NA psp slim for my umd movies.
In the first picture, what is that person picking up in his right hand?
@Alexander - that’s a copy of Final Fantasy VII: International, ultimate hits (re-release) edition.
Thats it. I’m moving to Japan.
Potions for sale!? Zack billboards!?! *sigh*
America sucks.
That’s what I thought. With international attached to it’s name, is there any bonus content compared to the NA release.
@Alexander - actually the bonus content is the stuff from the US release, the scene with Zack extra weapons and stuff like that.

That just looks awesome, I’d spend so much money if I ever get to Japan. I’m a sucker for stuff like that.
