Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

It is, there are (for the moment) 2 different stories.

Denzel's is the first, and is a 'flashback' of sorts to what happened to him as the original game progressed, and also somewhat of the future since he's talking to Revee about a year after Dirge of Cerberus.

Tifa's story is after Denzel's, but isn't on the web(some have translated it), but being published in a novel, that I assume has Denzel's story as well.

I apologize for the lack of updates. Now that AC has been out in Japan for around a month and a half, there hasn't been any need for sites to update (only DC, and in the future CC news).

I've read reports that the US date might be sometime in January.

Once I find a "soild" source for the release date, I'll make sure to let you all know.


Oh, I have found out what the US Cloud figure will look like (different head and sword then the one included in the Advent Pieces Boxset).

Here's what you'll be getting (full figure of course, these are just extra parts for the Japanese *and importers*).

New:


Old:



Not sure if the sword that the original figure had will also be included in the US package.

wow.

I went to my local Gamestop today and I saw an Advent Children box that read "11/29" unless it's possible that I misread it as "1/29" as far as the people at the Gamestop are concerned it's coming out November 29th. I don't want to believe this because every other source says that Advent Children ( the english version) won't be released until January so I'm trying not to get too excited. However it could be possible that they might be consider releasing it before Christmas.

BTW,

I finally got to see the Japanese language version of Advent Children! A friend let us borrow it ( we plan to buy the English version when it comes out). Well done...it diffenately was the highlight of the evening. A lot better than a lot of live-action films I've seen and the CGI was gorgeous!

Sephiroth in Mako Display The Square Enix Character Goods Shop Showcase has added a new image of a statue of Sephiroth in Mako. It is not currently known if this is just a display statue, or if it will be an actual piece of merchandise. Credit to forum member Cloud_S for the update. » View the SE Character Goods website

Here's the image,



Not really AC news, but there's not much news at the moment (and still no confirmed release date).

New photo's taken have been found on a Japanese Blog,





So much for it being for sale, seems to be a display in the store's floor!


*update*

Here's a really close shot, man........ looks so real.








Shame they don't make more for the really Sephiroth obsessed fangirls.

Dengeki PS Interview Translation RPGFan has updated with a full translation of the interview located in the recent Dengeki scans. During the interview, producer Yoshinori Kitase and character designer Tetsuya Nomura talk about the present and future works in the Compilation, as well as the slim chances of a Final Fantasy VII remake. » Source: RPGFan » Read More...

Interesting, I remember reading that the FF VII PS3 Tech Demo was rushed and was made in one month or so. Oh well, whatever.

I was hoping for a remake, if only to see the world of VII as good as the PS3 could make it. (still keeping my fingers crossed though)

Wonder what Nomura has instore for us. If he's got any more games planned after CC or DC.

I've found three more photos that were taken up close.







I'm still amazed by the detail on that thing!


Oh, and still no official US release date. -_-

i heard that it might be march 28 2006 now.

I heard Jan 10th, according to Sony.

I've heard dates ranging from December all the way to March-April 06.

So it's anyones guess at the moment.

Until SE USA says something we'll just have to wait.

Yes, but Sony is publishing it, as in distributing it and whatnot. Whatever they say pretty much goes over whatever SE says.

True, I had meant to edit in "SE USA/Sony".

Neither company has publicly (TV commercials, magazine ads, etc) made any official announcement as to when the set release date will be.

Yet any release date given on Amazon.com is a date given from someone within Sony. We'll find out when the time comes.

yeah, but all this waiting is eating me.

Advent Children US Advertisement The January issue of US magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly features an advertisement for Advent Children. Although no release date is given, the advertisement contains information about a 2 disk special edition. The movie appears as it will rated PG-13. There is also a mention of an official page on the Sony Pictures website, although at this time the site does not appear to be active. » View Advertisement Scan...

And those who didn't import continue to wait.

It comes out the tenth of Jan., says Best Buy and all the major retailers. With the way things are looking (since ads are now up in EGM and, from what I hear, the upcoming NEWTYPE), there's not much longer of a wait. Plus, there are supposedly (these are rumors being thrown around) special features and artwork included on the American DVD that were not on the Japanese Stand-Alone DVD or Boxed Set, if anyone cares. Plus Last Order is supposedly bundled with it, so all sounds like it's going to plan.

That sounds almost too good to be true...but if it is.
AmeriPWN.

Now...if it were true...that would prove the longstanding "No good stuff gets to America" pattern so obvious in that country wrong, and someone might explode because of it.
