Rumor: Advent Children Complete gets US release in June

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete will be out in Japan later next month, and a North American release could be following closely. According to Blu-ray.com, the completed HD version of the film, with 30 minutes added to the running time, will be out June 7 and will contain dual English/Japanese audio (like the original release). It is said to feature six extra content features, including the new short, animated film called "On the way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel" and an exclusive Final Fantasy XIII sneak peek.

Upon contacting Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, a company representative told us that Sony Pictures could not confirm the details yet and had not "properly announced details." Blu-ray.com's report could be leaked info that's come out a bit too early, but if it proves to be true, we're sure that everyone is wondering exactly what that FFXIII "sneak peek" entails. Is it the demo or just a trailer? The latter seems most likely.
Supposed extra content list:

"Legacy of Final Fantasy VII" Featurette
"Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII" Original Story Digest
"Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII Compilation" Story Digest
On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel Animated Film
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Trailers
Exclusive Sneak Peek at Final Fantasy XIII

the movie was long enough on its own, now its 30 minutes longer?! This is only a true fan's movie.

"On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel"

OH MAN THATS SUCH AN AWESOME NAME

isn't Square so cool and edgy? I mean, just look at those character designs. I wish my frame was strong enough to not crumble beneath the weight of that many zippers and belts!

Bah, just gimme FFXIII already. Don't wanna hear about any more FFVII milking.

An extra 30 minutes....

It was hard enough to sit through FF7AC as it was,but adding another 30 minutes of pointlessness,that will more than likely feature Cloud and Vincent brooding instead of Cid being badass,isnt grabbing my attention.

Or hey,maybe even add a little plot into those 30 minutes so we know what the hell is going on and who half the people were without needing to check wikipedia.

Have you even played FF7?

Amazon.com is taking preorders for a June 2nd release date: http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-VII-Children-Blu-ray/dp/B001YYQ9SS/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1237831971&sr=1-9

I've also seen the June 2nd date posted on two other web sites (both cinephile sites, and both pieces containing identical wording, as if they copied their info direct from a press release). Either way, looks like AC Complete just may be hitting in early June.

screw final fantasy for not staying loyal to the ps3

Well at least it was better than Spirits Within. I actually enjoyed this movie.

"CLOUDOU!!"

Well US, UK or JAP i will be getting this no matter

1) because i thought the film was great
2)Im A FF fan
3) I want that fu*kin Demo rofl

If i have to import it for £45 - 50 let it be done.

mmm, hd DIRT!

i wonder if it would be worth it to import the japanese version and just recoup the costs by ebaying the ffxiii demo.

I like that movie. Probably from nostalgia and fanboy-ism.
Had it on DVD but lent it to a friend of my brother. Now it's gone.
I was thinking of getting it on Blu-Ray, this looks like a good reason, and the price ain't too high.

Inlcude a copy of FFVII. My old copy is gone, and I don't wanna spend $60 bucks on eBay.

I'm not asking this so that the copies on eBay become devalued to ~$20 or to sell copies on eBay for $60.

THIS.

I already own the DVD

More chances of seeing it on the PSN.
I also lost my discs... or not... hmmm. I had 2 copies of the game, but I think I only lost one disc 1...60$ you say? hmm...

Meh, the only film outta Japan I'm looking forward to is Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0, where Anno yet again gets dragged back into the thing he hates the most, the Evangelion series.

FUNimaton currently lists the release date for the US as November 10, 2009. Still not announced whether they'll dub or sub it.

Can I get a 'w00t!'

I don't understand why they don't just subtitle the damn demo and send it over.

I don't like FF but this movie looks badass.

BONER

You know if Sony was really smart they would go ahead and pay Square to include the demo of the game on blu-ray. Then they would pack the demo-filled blu-ray in a new PS3 bundle. I am sure you'd see a spike in PS3 sales because it creates a false sense of exclusivity.

Ugh, Advent Children sucked enough. Can we say "FFVII Rehash", boys and girls?

Sorry, the art design was great, the movie sucked a fat one. I wouldn't give two red cents for this turd.

its been out for a couple years now btw. this is just the extended version.

Yes, but not in HD.

i want the bluray for the church scene and victory ringtone alone, plus it will go nice with my og ffvii

Was the 30 minutes cut out of the original run or created after the release, or what? Because i don't need to pay extra for deleted scenes that weren't good enough the first time around.

It makes smart business sense to include a demo. Even if it is brief as hell, it will guarantee they sell endless copies.

Also, people voted down Jason, but I understand his sentiment. There were some real weak points to the plot in Advent Children. This will however look so good in HD that I don't think I'll even notice the plot. :-) Plus, the thirty extra minutes may help, I really want to see the other characters developed some more!

Oh just give us the FFVII remake already.

I'm buying it regardless. Sounds good to me.

If only it were on DVD rather than Blu-Ray...*sigh*

It's already out on DVD?

I miss out on the DVD release, I believe I will be picking this up even if it cost 50$ O_o

I'll keep my Japanese preorder. The US one won't include a demo--I'm calling it now. Since it's multiconsole, Square won't want to alienate fans of the Xbox 360, and will opt to just include the "preview" on a DVD or something.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm not actually bothered about the demo. The game will be out soon enough, I can wait for that. I do however want Advent Children given a new release here on Blu-Ray with extended scenes and bonus features, I think the film looks amazing as it is, it will look and sound great on Blu-Ray.

that better be the demo or i'm importing. i already bought this kickass movie once. gimme a reason to buy it again other than HD.......ahh who am I kidding? I'll buy it anyway.

just import it off pay-asia.com. its like 69.90 and you can get in in about 3 weeks from now. that is if you defintely want the FFXIII demo. it will play on us ps3s and i heard rumor that it has english aduio, but not sure.

will it play on european ps3's?????

the ps3 is region free. so any game or blu ray should play. it should say on the site if its compatible.
