Final Fantasy 7 : Advent Children. R2 Japan UMD / DVD September 14th 2005.

Tetsuya Namura has officially announced the firm release date (finally) for the CGI movie based entirely in a more familiar Final Fantasy world - Advent Children. Long know about, the internet is littered with screenshots and a few trailers (tip - google), but there has always been a confusion as to wether this would be some kind of interactive DVD experience. Still might be, but at least we know now the Japanese release date and that it will be both a UMD and a DVD release. English Subtitles - fingers crossed.

Personally, i really like 'The Spirits Within' but it had little familiar to grasp onto for a FF-based movie. This one is set withing the worlds (it seems) and with the characters of FF VII, so it should bring back the audience turned onto the series at that point but whom have drifted away since. There should be more details arriving soon as this will be heavily promoted at E3 (...years biggest game event). Expect a nice limited edition, perhaps some new footage, and an American release to become firmer soon.
