I did a (small) bit of digging around, and found this. I hadn't heard of this before, and kinda hope this isn't what the dopes at G4 were talking about...

July 06, 2004 - Square Enix has started its advertisement campaign for Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, the upcoming Final Fantasy VII prequel being developed for Japanese Foma 900i series cell phones. The ads, which appear on some of Tokyo's most popular train lines, can be seen by enlarging the images to the right.
Upon close inspection, the ads seem to suggest that the company may have big things planned for Final Fantasy VII, beyond what's been disclosed so far. One ad states "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII -- Part 1" and "The first thing to be revealed: the truth behind the Turks." The other ad states "Seven years ago, there was a secret history that was not told" and "Final Fantasy VII has started once again; related products will continue to appear." This latter ad has Japanese characters for "Sephiroth," "Genova," "Midgar," "Life Stream," "Shinra Corporation," and "Turks, Avalanche" splashed across it.
The ads also make mention of a beta test set to begin shortly for Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII.
It's possible that the ads are only meant to hype up Before Crisis and get people ready for the other Final Fantasy VII-related product, the DVD release of Advent Children. It's also possible that Square Enix has even more planned for Final Fantasy VII.
We anxiously await, we're sure with most IGN readers, any future Final Fantasy VII-related announcements.

I found this on <a href="http://www.ffonline.com">ffonline</a>, which sent me to an IGN link. I'm not really sure what to make of this, to be honest. Another article on that site mentioned that it might not be available in the US, because of the limitations on cellphone hardware. Apparently to get a certain color of materia, they want you to take a picture of something that color (using your phone). A little strange, if you ask me. Has anyone else heard anything about another FF7-ish project?
