Well that's great to hear! Now, if only SE USA would say something about the American release.

I'm really not quite sure what to make of this, it's either fanmade, or a super-limited addition.

Square Enix has finally released the photos to the public. SQEX first showed off this baby in this year's Shonen Jump Festa 2006 in Tokyo Japan.

Nice figure thingy, probably the coolest thing related to FF 7 since well ever. I bet people will this on E-bay jacked up when it's released, although I'd do the same.

Here's something to get excited about :

Advent Children comes to the US on April 25, 2006. Better yet, it will come packed with all the features from the special edition boxed set dvd version in Japan and some stuff never before seen or released.

Indeed, I was going to post about the date later tonight.

Finally an Official US Release Date! After months of speculation and rumors, an official US release date has finally been given for Advent Children. The movie will be released on April 25th for both DVD and UMD as a special double-disc set. Unfortunately Last Order is not set to be included as a special feature. » Square-Enix Press Release...

I like this bit from a few days ago:

quote:

Official US Site Updates ... or does it Earlier today, the official US website was updated with new information in their news section, confirming three voice actors - Steve Burton [Cloud], Rachel Leigh Cook [Tifa] and Mena Suvari [Aerith] as well as a release date. Interestingly enough, this news was later removed, with now only a "Feb 10, 2006" placeholder. The intrigue continues. In other news, a rumor has been floating around the web regarding an official release date for Europe. However, this has been denied by Sony Pictures on the German gaming media website GameStar.de as being false. » Official US AC Site...

yay! and i was just about to pirate it.

Wow. 3 days from my Birthday. Though I'd much rather get a car than a DVD.

Lulz.`

Looks like that's the official date.

Looks like 4-25 will be a busy day for video stores everywhere, and if this date flops...

They better have security.

XD i stronly suggest reserving one...

Not sure if the cast has already been released (or stated in this thread if so sorry for repeating it) but I found this list on ann.

Steve Burton as Cloud Strife



Mena Suvari as Aerith Gainsborough


Quinton Flynn as Reno


Rachael Leigh Cook as Tifa Lockhart


Steve Staley as Kadaj


Wally Wingert as Rufus ShinRa


Andrea Bowen as Girl


Beau Billingslea as Barett Wallace


Benjamin Bryan as Denzel


Bettina Bush as Elena


Chris Edgerly as Cid Highwind


Christy Romano as Yuffie Kisaragi


Crispin Freeman as Rude


Dave Wittenberg as Yazoo


Fred Tatasciore as Loz


George Newbern as Sephiroth

Gregg Ellis as Cait Sith


Jamieson Price as Reeve


Liam O'Brien as Red XIII


Rick Gomez as Zack


Ryun Yu as Tseng


Steven Blum as Vincent Valentine
----------------------------------------------

Steven Blum as Vincent now that i think about it is a pretty good choice.
As well as Crispin Freeman as Rude.
Also I think that for the most part the va's for the characters that were in kingdom hearts are the same va's for the movie. (actually If you look up the va's for the japanese version of the movie the va's are the same for the game kingdom hearts as they are for the movie.) Can't wait for this movie to finally be released. >.> been playing ff7 to make sure I remember everything and having played through it again i still can't believe how badass the story is. (actually trying to get everybody to learn their final limit this time around ^^).

omg. i have to look, but i think i predicted steven blum as vincent! in this thread!

quote:

i hope steve blum does either cloud or vincent's voice. or the guy who does jin to do cloud or vincent.

...Crispin Freeman as Rude...

Uh...ZOMG. I pictured him more as Sephiroth or Shinra....

Then again, I haven't seen the Japanese version yet, and I'm not a voice actor expert.

At least we're finally getting it!
