As you might have read earlier, I attended last night's launch of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII at Sony's Metreon Center in SF. While the lucky first hundred people got t-shirts, and some even won some great raffle prizes, anyone was allowed to go up and get their complimentary Shin-Ra Electric Power Company ID card. Being firmly in the "anyone" crowd, I stepped up to claim what will sure to be a valuable money maker on eBay some day. They snapped a quick photo and then we got to wait about twenty minutes while the thing processed and Voila... we were presented with our nifty prize in a little labeled envelope. As you can tell from my photo, I am an employee not to be trifled with.

I'm so jealous
DO WANT!
That is flippin' sweet.
Way to go!
Flynn your beard makes me jealous....
That is pretty cool.
It's a dirty little secret of mine that I've wanted one of these since I was about 15. Sadly, I'd just fugly up the card with my lumber-pile of a face.
Flynn, did you ask for, or did you get number 666? ;)
Now if only the NA members get something so cool.
"I am an employee not to be trifled with."
true, look @ your number, mr satan
pretty cool
lol, # 666
Oh wait, we do get it at the members page. [member.square-enix.com]
We are now aware that you are of pure efil.
yes I am jealous, thanks for asking
Did you get to choose that number??
Or perhaps, it chose you..
Too awesome for words.
Now if only they had one that said Hojo's Assistant.
ha! I got one. not gonna sell it.
Not only did you get an awesome ID card, but an awesome ID number to match. I'm truly jealous of your serendipity.
oohh the card with the number 0013 would be awesome
bloody hell they should make that type of thing avaliable on their online store!!! dammit T_T
Only someone on Kotaku could get the id number 0666 on their id card on post it.
FLYNN'S THE DEVIL AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shoulda worn a white jacket so you could be one of the turks :-)
Oh snap! 666, it's the sign of the De Marco!
@ittekimasu: Why? so we could all buy one, look at it and then put it in a closet?
Ok, they have something like that on the new Square site. You can make a virtual one. But yea, I want...along with an umbrella corporation ID as well.
Now I know how Flynn looks like.
All I have to see is how Ashcraft, Mark, Maggie and Luke look like and I'm all set.
Hey don't run away, I'm no stalker. Just curious :(
xcore
Nice! I myself have a Zombie Hunting League ID card. Why? Because it's there...
And I'll need proper identification in the coming apocalypse.
@goldwings: if you look around, alot of their pics have been posted.
@Elderwulf: Pfft, screw that noise. I want the real thing...
@goldwings: r 2 a staker
@anmkevin: of course not, buy one keep it and present it to police as ID -.-
@ittekimasu:
Oh my god.
"Heres my ID. I work for the Shinra Electric Power Company."
The trick is keeping a straight face and seeing if it works.
That 0666, did everybody get that... or just you?
Either way, You are one lucky bastard.
@Komrade_Kayce:
But be sure to whistle the Shinra theme as the person looks at the card.
I wish I could get my own. lol
So is it made of plastic, or is it laminate paper? If so, I'ma make one for myself using the site. It's just too cool.
That's entirely not how I pictured you looking. Not sure what I expected you to look like, really, but I definitely did not expect you to look all... Scruffy.
It's a good look for you.
Jejeje no offense bro, but I always thought you were a girl :P
sorry...
Cliffy B?
Man, with that I.D. you could totally, like, get to hang out with Sephiroth and like, show off some mad ninja moves and like, check out his mad sword skilz and like, tell him how cool he is. Yeah.
...at least, that's what I'd do.
How did you get #0666?
Mine says 040 =/ They zoomed out too far on my portrait as well. Anyways the launch was well worth this piece of plastic and shinra shirt =)
Clearly a turk!
Just a word of advice.
Don't give your card to anyone, unless you're 100% sure he's from the Repair Division.
So jealous...
Yeah I'm jealous too. I'd keep it in my wallet.
And here I was yesterday on Square Enix Members site wondering if anybody actually made these cards.. haha
I wonder if that was what the mysterious phone was for?
Ahhh...now I can know what Flynn looks like before he goes on his...'adventure' in a couple weeks...
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!
one word popped up in my head when i first saw that pic... " RAD "
I'd certainly use my limit break on you.
Flynn that has got to be one of the best pics of you evar~
You have so much Facial Hair... You remind me of a hybrid of Chuck Norris and Solid Snake.
In other words... awesome! :D
Nice impression of The Rock stare you got goign there, Flynn!
eh!!! I want one too! :'(
Shave a bald patch at the top of your head, wear a pink shirt and replace your arm with a mechanized one and youd be be Jet from Cowboy BeBop
@Trowble (XBL/PSN): Don't you mean #0666 is De Marco of De Beast?
It's the muttonchops, right?
#666? I would have asked them to redo my card. Geez.
More mutton!
Reminds me of the launch of The Life Aquatic With Team Zissou... you could go to their website, upload a photo, and generate your own printable Team Zissou membership card.
Kevin Federline writes for Kotaku AND impregnated Britney AND works for Shinra?! :P
Flynn looks like Angeal with a goatee...
So damn cool! Does the card have a magnetic stripe or anything behind it?
@LoopyChew: Your comment is full of win. ;-)
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Color me jealous.
