This fan-fiction is based on Final Fantasy 7 Before Crisis (FF7BC) released as a cell phone game in Japan for DoCoMo's new FOMA 900 series model. FF7BC is part of the FF7 "Reunion" where Square revisits this great 1997 hit which includes the FF7 movie due to come out soon. FF7BC takes place 6 years before the events of FF7 and describe events following the founding of the Turks by Shin-Ra Corporation. The player can choose between a female and male Turk player, the tagline goes something like "What kind of Turk will you be?" Aside from the fact that this release is a cash-in for Square on the movie, let me say that of all the FF series, FF8 was my favorite, but FF7 had the most interesting ideas. Square has never approached the idea of corruption, gambling and even prostitution the way it has in FF7's Midgar. The corruption and poverty that stems from power over a profitable resource like mako energy is very reminiscent of the organized crime explosion of the early 80s, when cocaine and heroine entered the drug market, and is even echoed today in Bush's "War on Oil" (Go ahead and flame me for that one). Shin-Ra characters are classic; the punk Reno with his beat-stick and Rude, the big bald motherfucker. You can just picture these guys mopping up Shin-Ra screw-ups with a shovel outside the city at night and coming home in time for pancakes. A few notes about FF7BC, I mentioned before it was in the past, Seph seems to be around but not much is known about him yet. Tseng, Rude, Reno and even Zack (who didn't get a lot play in FF7) are present. There are also some new characters, Beld, the original founder of the Turks and two protagonists. Descriptions of these characters will come eventually.
