Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII; Square Enix does… If I did, well, it'd be more ADD-random.
Notes: Crisis Core will be released September 13th in Japan at 6,900 yen with taxes… Square-Enix keeps finding new ways to piss me off (see below).
I'm Sixteen in my Head
46. Place
Rather than head straight to Seventh Heaven, I rear down a detour.
… Oh who am I kidding?
I'm going to the only sanctuary I have.
How sad is that?
Stopping Fenrir outside the Aerith's church, I climb off.
Despite closing the doors, every time I come here they're open again. "I don't even know why I bother."
Giggle.
Hey, Aerith.
"Cloud, why are you always so apprehensive here?"
Besides, that whole ghost thing you did?
"Oh, come on. I didn't mean to scare you!"
I can feel the pout tugging at my mouth. I drop to the ground, my arms crossed. "Sure you didn't. Just like you don't enjoy watching me make an idiot out of myself."
"Cloud, don't be that way!" I can feel a phantom hand upon my shoulder. "You know I…"
"I know you what?"
"Nevermind. It isn't important."
"Then, why did y—"
PAIN.
I clutch my arm, hoping the pain vanishes…
And fall back onto the floor.
"Aw, whose a cute little froggie? You are. Yes, you are."
Huh? I sit up, looking about.
A pink blur hovers beside the Touch Me's cage. "Aerith?"
The pink blur shifts, only to dissipate. "Are you… alright, Cloud?"
"I don't know."
"You should go home now."
Why? I'm already here.
"Where have you been?"
I can't even come in without someone yelling at me. "Hi, Marlene."
She stalks over, her hands on her hips. It's eerie how much she looks like Tifa.
"Hopefully, she inherits Tifa's epic boobs."
Zack?
"Yes, Spiky?"
You are a filthy, filthy man.
… I'd tell you to review, but who knows if you read Author Notes.
Hajime Morikawa, Hittocerebattosai, Daenis TooShy, scarlettHuntress, Toons, Sabith, Alma, and Passe on Angle get Aerith's Church plushie playgrounds for reviewing.
Square-Enix News:
Final Fantasy VII Tenth Anniversary Ultimania Omega
Okay, I bought the original FF7 Ultimania Omega (published 2005). Filled with 591 pages of things that no one would ever think to know, it's very image-intensive—every accessory, weapon, item, and even key items has it's details plus the illustration (why in the hell it's necessary to have drawings of the Wall Market undergarments, I'll never know). It truly is mind-boggling awesome.
Two years later, a new version has been announced. Okay, granted there have been new "Compilation Titles" added to the FF7 universe, I seriously doubt that these would be the focus of the book (maybe an extra section for them)… So, now I'm stuck wondering whether I want to shell out the $20-30 (based on where I'm importing from) to get it…
Final Fantasy VII Potion
Okay, for Final Fantasy XII, Square-Enix released a 'potion' product: herbal drink in a perfume-like bottle (wikipedia has a nice photo and description).
There will be a potion product for FF7, that in all honestly, looks so #$&ing cool. It doesn't look much like a drink this time, more like a model. A really, really cool model (see profile for links to images from the Square-Enix Party 2007)
