Final Fantasy Fans ! Hear this ! Great news
Square's second foray into feature-length computer-generated storytelling, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will ship on DVD in Japan on September 14th, 2005, with the U.S. release shipping a week later. The difference between the Japanese and U.S. release is that in Japan, consumers will have the option of buying the regular edition of Advent Children, or, if big spenders feel like laying out nearly $300 bucks, they can snag the limited boxed set, called "Advent Pieces." Click on the pictures for the big, tasty images.
To recap, the Advent Pieces box will come with a big Cloud-on-motorcycle (the Hardy Daytona reinvented?) figure, a paperback compilation of the Advent Children script (in Japanese), a mug and a hat with the Cloud Wolf motif emblazoned on the pair, a snazzy t-shirt that will most likely not fit most standard-sized American importers, a silver keychain, a DVD created by famed animation studio Madhouse (Ninja Scroll, Animatrix, etc.), and a reissue of the PlayStation 1 game Final Fantasy VII International (with new cover and disc art). Take a look at the new hi-res pics of the items in case it helps you decide whether or not you're going to purchase this exorbitant item. We sure as hell are.
n other interesting news (ALERT: STOP HERE IF YOU'RE GONNA WHINE ABOUT SPOILERS), toy maker Kotobukiya, known for their high-quality Final Fantasy X and X-2 figures have released images for their upcoming FFVII: Advent Children merchandise. The revelation found in these images are the names of the huge monster(s) seen in the various Advent Children trailers, which were presumed to be, among other things, Bahamut, but never quite confirmed. Now, thanks to the miracle of Internet goods shops, the names of Shin Bahamut, Jado Gripper (an as yet unseen monster), and the Shera airship (Cid must have traded the High Wind in at the airship dealership for something with power windows) are finally revealed, only a few weeks before the finished movie debuts at this year's Venice Film Festival (last year's festival showcased the first ever work-in-progress in its history, giving the honor to Advent Children via a 25-minute trailer). And beginning the week of September 8th, Advent Children will see a limited theatrical release in Japan, preceding the DVD launch at retail. I'll have more coverage of the highly anticipated sequel to Final Fantasy VII (the game) as it develops, but take a peek at the uber-rare goods Square-Enix is packing in with the LE set and drool.
