After the hype surrounding the announcement of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children this winter, gamers naturally wondered if more was in the works. Of late, there have been online rumblings across the pond about the possibility of an action-based sequel to the title to be released on the PS2. When contacted about the possibility, however, Square Enix's European branch was quick to deny the story, telling Euro gaming site Computer and Video Games "[This] is the first we've heard of it", going on to ask whether or not there was confusion surrounding the movie title.

There has long been a desire for more games based upon the world of FFVII, so it is only natural that this sort of story would pop up in Europe as well as here, since the game achieved noteworthy success around the world. While it seems that nothing is in the offing at the moment, RPGamer will continue to watch this particular story in case anything comes of it.
