Square-Enix's "whoring of Final Fantasy VII" celebration all began with this little beauty, and it can be yours on Blu-ray this June 2. The movie sequel to the classic game will cost you $38.96, and will come packed with a truckload of features.
Re-recorded with the original voice cast, Advent Children Complete brings twenty-six minutes of fresh footage to the table, a new anime short called "On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel" and a whole other bunch of extras including a featurette, documentary and storyline digest.
Unfortunately, Square Enix's stance on releasing the playable demo of Final Fantasy XIII with Complete has not changed. Apparently, the Xbox 360 has RUINED it again, with Squeenix claiming that because the game is released on both 360 and PS3 in the West, only Japan may have the demo. That is not logical in the least, but there you go.
Anybody picking it up next month?

I didn't go into it with massively high expectations, simply because I knew they could not fit in an overly long, epic storyline into a 90-minute film. What I saw in the film certainly blew my expectations out of the window, solid voice acting, gorgeous visuals, a decent enough, if light, storyline and most of all, stunning fight seqeunces.
I don't about other people who watched the film, but the fight seqeunces alone made the film for me, making it one of the main reasons I still watch the film from time to time. That and the CGI is just great to look at
It was decent fan service, at that is enough from me. Sure it can be seen as poor compared to the game, but at least it didn't completly abandon it's source material as 95 percent of other game movies do. I was certainly impressed by it, being a long time FF fan.
Although my flatmate already has the Jap release (for that tasty FF XIII demo of course) so no point buying it. Not that im US anyway...
maybe i'll buy it for rachael leigh cooks sweet seductive voice
My only nerf is that it's a couple bucks shy of Super Saver Shipping, and that shipping would likely be more than the couple bucks difference, so I now need to find an excuse item to join with it. Maybe FFIV(DS)? Hmm... Maybe a Blu-ray player at all (don't has, but at $23, I don't see how it'd get cheaper until much later)!
didn't enjoy the movie all that much. I thought the Last Order OVA was much more enjoyable.
all in all it's pretty awesome (i really enjoyed before too though). the 26 minutes they added are mostly to flesh out the story (especially for those that didn't play the game). and are some of the most beautiful shots. about 85% of this is straight up amazing to look at in HD, however they try to use this focus/out of focus effect that works fine when you know you're filming WITH A CAMERA!!! but, here it seems out of place, and looks absolutely horrible.
I'd give it an A- and is totally worth $23 (the $70 my girlfriend spent on the import is questionable, but a totally sweet birthday present.)
Fuck you SE I downloaded it weeks ago!
Honestly, I used to love Final Fantasy VII, and I still like the original game. But the name has been butchered.
LAWL. I don't know where you shop buddy, but the import is well over $60 uesd! I got mine brand new for $70 when it came out! Hell It freaken retailed for $58 in Japan, and now that it was first runs only the price for them is only gonna skyrocket. So please enlighten us all where you got this insanely cheap price.
