Finally, here's yet another reason to own a Playstation 3.

SquareEnix is giving Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children a shiny new coat of paint for its Blu-ray debut in 2008. There's no exact date for the release, but let's hope for an early spring release. There's also no word if there will be extra content for the new release, but I think Cloud in high definition is enough for me to buy a Blu-ray player.

Ummm ... SquareEnix, this Blu-ray version of the movie is nice and all, but where's our sequel game for Final Fantasy VII? Impress me with that next, please.

I'm going to stay away from talking about the story quality and just say that I'll bet it looks AMAAAAAAZING.

Ah, I bet it looks extra sexy. I'd buy it if i had a PS3/Blue-Ray player.

I know Crisis Core is not the sequel, but it rocks :-D! Try it if you can because it's gonna be awhile before it gets here in english.

This was announced aaages ago. Like, shortly after the US DVD release of Advent Children. It's actually called Advent Children complete, where they insert some deleted scenes or something, like that one shot there with Sephiroth impaling Cloud with the Masamune. There's no talk of whether the extra scene are plentiful or just an added shot here and there, like the impaling bit.

But yeah, the story isn't so good. I preferred Spirits Within, personally. It sure does look pretty, though.

Don't forget that the Blu-ray version is going to feature more dirt!

Advent Children is terrible, but I guess all the FF fanboys must be squealing in delight.

I have both versions, not counting the Blu-ray. I forget if Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (Limited Edition Collector's Set) had the deleted scenes...:/....X-mas present

Yeah, this is the one where their clothes are going to get dirty or something.

I watched Advent Children with lie subs at MAGFest, i'd never seen the real movie before. It was amazing. Pretty much every line Vincent said was subbed with "DIRGE OF CERBERUS." Cloud and Sephiroth were enemies because one liked to knit and the other liked to crochet.

I guess I'll grab this version when I buy a PS3...eventually. It better include that Last Order OVA, though.

Advent Children was pretty to look at. Nothing more.

Blu-ray will make it look even better, but I have no plans to watch it a second time even on dvd. Ever.

I already brought it 2 times, so I don't need a third copy of it. About the only way you could make me buy it again is if Tifa had a deleted sex scene on the Blu-Ray

....and squeenix continues to milk an overrated game. sad. Maybe they can do something about lowering those silly ass ebay/amazon prices of FFVII? Then maybe i'll look at this when I think about getting my PS3.

Advent children was horrid. The story was incoherent at best. Looks great though.

The story is bad but it does have its share of eye candy. I may pick it up.

when you think of Advent Children, you always get:

It looked PRETTY! But I don't know what the hell happened. BUT IT PURTY!!

Yup it was pretty to look at, but the story got lost in the eye candy.

So were you kidding about this movie being another reason to own a PS3? Was the comment intended to be some sort of sly commentary about obsessed FF fans or something, and how they'd find it completely justifiable to shell out the cash for a PS3 just to watch a high-res version of a third-rate FF VII tie-in movie?

Seriously, that would be the only context in which that statement makes any sense to me.
