Square Enix Members, Website launched!

Square Enix Members

All the hype is around the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII right now, so it would be quite appropriate for us (meaning me and our distinguished board of ghosts, I’m joking PSPFan) to remind you that the Square Enix Members North America website has launched. Fans of the game have the chance to win one of ten FF VII original soundtracks signed by none other than the great composer Takeharu Ishimoto. Also, you will get the ability to view official interviews with the creators (right now they only have a Q&A with director Hajime Tabata about the game’s development). Other than that, you might enjoy some free wallpapers… Have fun!
