Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

| Square-Enix Post Conference In a Q&A segment after the original conference, Square-Enix President Yoichi Wada and comperate executive Shinji Hashimoto answered many questions that gamers may had. Topic Matter Included: * XBox and Final Fantasy * Before Crisis * Final Fantasy XII * Advent Children * Crisis Core » Source: Gamespot » Read More... |

| Square-Enix WILL dub Advent Children for the American released, but when asked for a possible Japanese-English Subbed release, Wada said he's considering it. |
Well, they have 115 days, 4 hours, and 13min to figure out that American fans want Japanese audio with english subs.
Also, with all the effort SE has put into AC, I don't think we have to worry about bad English VA's.
Oh, and here's another site to get latest trailer from http://gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1669

| 1Up Interview with Nomura 1Up has conducted an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, in which he touched on the possibility of a theatrical release, reactions Advent Children received at film festival screenings, bonus material in the DVD and the original 20-minute version of the movie. » Read Article at 1Up.com... |
| quote: |
| Tetsuya Nomura: For the Japanese version of the product, we've announced some of the bonuses that are going to be added to the package. Because of the territorial issues and language options, we may be limited, but we do want to try and bring out as much of the bonus content that is going to be included in the Japanese version into the U.S. version. Aside from the Advent Children story and DVD, there may be some other material that the fans will really enjoy. So there may be some new visual material. The Japanese will get a standalone and limited version. Next month we'll announce what the bonuses are going to be. |
WHY is this always the case? We NEVER get as many, and most of the time any of the cool goodies the Japanese audience do! It’s really not fair, and this is why so many fans buy imports (which sales may or may not go to the company......I think the latter happens more)!
You'd think by now, anime and video game companies alike would understand we don't care if it's in Japanese, we want the goddamned goodies!!!!

DUDE! The US and Japanese versions are simultaneously being released, which is completly unheard of in terms of dubbing. We should be lucky it's not being delayed another year or so.

*grumbles* Still want my goodies....
Ok, there are New Hobby Japan Figurine Scans!

| New Hobby Japanese Figure Scans New images of the new Square-Enix Action Figures have appeared, most of which are from the Advent Children cast. Included are screens of Tifa, Cloud, Vincent, Sephiroth, and the the Airship Sierra. Of special note, there is also smaller scans of a Selphie from Final Fantasy VIII, and Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. » Sephiroth, Tifa, and Vincent » Cloud on Fenrir, Tifa, and Vincent » The Sierra » The Sierra v.2 » Source: FFAC Reunion |
Regarding the Sierra: Perhaps it's the Highwind's remains rebuilt into a new airship?
I noticed, Tifa's second set of hands is gloved. And Sephiroth gets a whole 4 sets of hands. Goning to be fun making cool poses with these!
And to anybody who missed it, it states that Tifa, Vincent, Cloud w/ Fenrir, and Sephiroth will be available in August.
Thanks to www.adventchildren.net 's member Suazku we now have a reason for the airship's name!

However, you might want to get rid of the link to FFAC Reunion, since when I clicked on it a sh**load of Japanese charachters popped up. It's very misleading. You may just want to post the (translated) article from now on from adventchildren.net (since that's where you get all your sources from). |
I believe that is what the "Read More..." line is for.
I am heavily anticipating Advent Children's release at this point. I plan to preorder it once the option becomes available, and perhaps hold a viewing party once it deubuts.

Well I simply suggested posting just the "Read More", since the source is somewhat misleading.

| AC "First Time Limited Edition" pre-orders at major Japanese online stores Major Japanese online stores have begun taking pre-orders for FF7:AC, both the regular version as well as the "First Time Limited Edition" version. Click on "Read More" for a rough translation of what FF7:AC Reunion had to say. Now, on with the links to the websites on which you can pre-order the FTLE and regular versions. Prices range from 3800 to 4300 Yen. » 7 Dream - FTLE » Towerrecords.jp - FTLE » Amazon.jp - FTLE » Amazon.jp - Regular » jp.playstation.com - FTLE » jp.playstation.com - Regular » Source: FF7:AC Reunion » Read More... |
Now, before anyone complains its all in Japanese, and why bother posting it... I did it for those who understand Japanese, and would like to preorder.
Here is a slightly better translation of the first part of the FF7AC Reunion Description:
FF7 AC First Print Limited Edition, Preorders Begun at Various Online Shops!
Preorders for the FF7AC DVD Version – First Print Limited Edition have begun. (I think this first print limited edition is different from the Ultimate Limited Edition Nomura has mentioned).
Planned to be included in the First Print is a “First Print Gorgeous Package,” plus bonus footage of “Final Fantasy VII Digest (30 minutes – planned - Digest Footage of the event scenes from the original Playstation game), “FFVII AC Official Trailer – 2 minutes, and Compilation of Final Fantasy VII Trailer – 10 minutes (planned) (Trailers for all related FFVII products).
The normal version only has the bonus footage (FF7 Digest, Trailer, Compilation trailers).
The Ultimate Edition (or Gorgeous Edition, true translation) will be different from the First Print. The First Print just has the DVD, while the Ultimate will have extra stuff. What that extra stuff is has yet to be announced, but most likely either a CD, book, or figure. Hoping for a book and CD though, and hoping that it's nowhere neat the Ghost in the Shell Innocence package. That sucker cost $500...
As for the digest footage, it's most likely untouched PS1 cut scene footage with narration to make Advent Children more accessible to non-game players.

| AC Ultimate Edition pre-orders at Tsutaya Tsutaya have put up details of a limited edition set, including 7 extra items. As well as included the contents already mentioned for the regular edition, it also planned to include: - Cloud + Fenrir (motorbike) figure set - Bonus DVD, including: OVA [original video animation] "LAST ORDER FINAL FANTASY VII", a Making Of video, the special Venice Film Festival version, AC trailers - Replica of the screenplay - A cap - T-shirt - Serial numbered keyring/holder - FFVII International (Special LE packaging) Priced at 29,500 yen (roughly £150/ $275 /213 EUR), and set for release on the same day as the regular edition. Tsutaya - AC Ultimate Edition [URL]http://lx02.www.tsutaya.co.jp/shopping/marugoto/index.pl?pg_id=1488 Tsutaya only ship inside Japan, so if you live anywhere else it there's not much point trying for the big limited edition yet. Maybe once somewhere like Amazon starts stocking it....... But, by all means, go ahead if you've got connections in Japan!

I WANT. I WANT IT NOW. WHO DO I HAVE TO SHOOT TO GET THIS?!

| Final Fantasy for PS3 in the works (Subtle hint a possible remake?) The latest issue of Dengeki Playstation features an interview with Yoshinori Kitase, director of FFVII and FFVII Tech Demo. The interview is about a Final Fantasy for PS3, but in response to speculation about it being FFXIII, Kitase gave out a hint that the FFVII tech demo was supervised by him aswell and that the development of the FF for PS3 is happening via a similar process... PS3portal.com has posted an article regarding this interview, click on Read More to check it out. » Source: PS3portal.com » Read More... |
Interesting hint, but it could mean a couple of things;
- A remake of FFVII is in the making for PS3
- The engine used for the tech demo is being re-used for Final Fantasy XIII, like the engine of the PS2 tech demo (Final Fantasy VIII dancing scene) was apparently re-used for Final Fantasy X.
- The experience gained from creating the FFVII tech demo is being used to create a new, even better engine.
Basically, the list is endless... who knows, maybe a remake of FFVII will see the light of day afterall, or maybe not.
Also, here's another article, similar to what is above, but has some differences:
FFX producer developing PS3 Final Fantasy?
| quote: |
| Kitase also revealed the Final Fantasy VII technical PS3 demo was actually a rush job, created in just a month and a half. "We created [it] right before E3. I didn't think we could do it at first, but I called Sugimoto (Koji Sugimoto, FFX’s main programmer), and we somehow made it. I believe that if we had more time, we could have made it in a higher quality. In that sense, that demo didn't really take much advantage of the PS3's hardware specs. But still, we were able to make something that looked that good." |
Wow, if that was just a rush job...... I can't even begin to imagine what a full two years or more would produce......
