Crisis Core European Release Date

Square Enix Europe confirmed through a press-release to the media, the official release date of Crisis Core on European shelves, set for 20th June.
As far as we know, there hasn't been any change from the North American version other than four additional languages.

It also seems that Square Enix is creating several special limited bundle packs to be released on every country for instance: with the United Kingdom having been confirmed to be shipping a version of the game with a hard-backed artbook, and France having a small-run bundle of the game and an Ice Silver PSP Slim & Lite (minus the 10th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII designs present on the Japanese version).

- Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII Ultimania

Sorry everyone, my internet has gotten really "sick" lately and can't log in here much often, but luckily, I could post this one for you!

We're two weeks away from the official japanese release of - Crisis Core- Final Fantasy VII Ultimanina.
Studio Bent Stuff has given to public a set of details about this book also regarding the publication.

The first package we've seen at the 10th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII Ultimania, wich also came packaged with the Final Fantasy VII postion, was published in a A4 format, but the first package mentioned will be published in an A5 format, which is normally the standard size of a Square Enix Ultimania.

The book contains 592 pages and will be (as always) the quintessential knowlegde-base for the game (says FFInsight), providing a detailed walkthrough for the game and in-depth looks at the characters and scenarios, and don't forget that it will contain staff interviews and artwork showcases like any other Ultimania.

The cover shows the the principal cast of the Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Angeal, Zack and Cloud - surrounding the famous Buster Sword.
