Square Enix has announced some more details regarding its upcoming PlayStation Portable title Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Two classic Final Fantasy VIIcharacters, Aeris and Hojo have been confirmed to appear in the game. Aeris apparently gets to meet her lover Zack in the same church, where she met Cloud in the beginning of Final Fantasy VII. Hojo, the head of Shinra Company's science department, hasn't changed much since Final Fantasy VII. He is still the mad scientist who conducts his experiments without regard for casualties. In one screenshots released today, he tells Zack that Soldier's role simply was to protect him without thinking.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII will be available in Japan on September 13th for 5,800 yen ($47.84 US).
