FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN
While this hasn't been released yet, this is something that I'm eagerly anticipating. This is a direct sequel to the best Final Fantasy game released (though I do have to admit I love FFX and FFX-2).
The big change is that this isn't a game sequel, but a movie sequel (shock horror!!). A very interesting idea, and I really hope that it delivers. While I wuold have liked another game, having FFVII - 2 would have been a bit silly. If they had done it at the time, good idea, but now would be a bit redundent especially with the changes in the platform and game capabilities. Additionally, I think the world setting had been thoroughly covered and a sequel game wouldn't have added a great deal. A sequel movie can focus on other things, such as a damn good action movie, which is what it looks like from the trailers on the official website.
As a note, the trailers are only available on the official website. Square has asked for all other copies available on fan websites to be removed.
The movie will; be available on the PSP (Playstation Portable) and also on DVD (thank goodness). I was actually considering buying a PSP just for this, but am glad I won't have to and will be able to watch it on my trusty DVD player.
I originally bought my playstation just so I could play the original Final Fantasy 7 game, after good ol' Hecatonchires played it in front of me for about an hour. After that hour, I was hooked, and after beating him unconscious was able to play for a short time on his copy of the game before he regained consciousness.
This movie contains all the old favourites, Cloud, Tifa and the gang. It's set 2 years after the end of the original game. Cloud now leads a solitary life traveling the Planet as a transporter. The office of Strife Delivery Service is located in 7th Heaven, which also functions as an orphanage for children stricken with Geostigma.
A non-contagious disease known as Geostigma is spreading across the Planet, with people claiming that it is due to Jenova’s cells working hard in the Lifestream. Children tend to show signs of Geostigma first, though adults are susceptible to the disease as well.
How this relates to Sephiroth (yay yay) returning, I have no idea, but it's shaping up to be an awesome movie.
Released in Australia on Wednesday, 26 October 2005
