Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children




Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the much anticipated sequel to Square's top selling game Final Fantasy VII. The sequel however will not be in the form of a game [like Final Fantasy X-2], but instead as a CG movie.
The movie will run for somewhere between 70 and 80 minutes and will be released on DVD and UMD [for the Sony PSP]. It will feature a total of 20 characters, including the popular Cloud and Sephiroth, and is being developed by Square-Enix in conjunction with Visual Works.
It is expected to be released in Japan at the end of 2004, with a US release to follow shortly after [first quarter of 2005]. No word on a European or Australian release has been made as yet.
More information on specific areas of the film can be found in the following sub-sections.

This trailer was shown at the E3 expo in Los Angeles. It is the first English trailer of Advent Children, with an English narration.

Full Trailer, FFX-2 Int, DVD Quality, Sub-Titled [24 MB, avi]

TGS Alternate Trailer [11 MB, avi]

This appears to be a different trailer, it is shorter and doesn't contain the Sephiroth flashback or church scenes. Taken with a video camera on a side angle.
