Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children US Premiere

Last night, Monday 3rd April 2006, was a very important night for Final Fantasy fans. The US Premiere of the long awaited Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was  shown at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. This was the first time the film had been seen in English, after it's Japanese release last year.

As any hardcore Final Fantasy fan will know, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is set two years after Final Fantasy VII for the PSX, and briefly explains the storyline of Final Fantasy VII for those who played the game; before diving into the full Advent children storyline.

*Possible spoilers*

"Tifa and Cloud opted for a peaceful life where they run a delivery service and take care of children orphaned by the previous disaster. However, all is not well. A mysterious illness called geostigma has been affecting the children. A new gang run by Kadaj seeks to find Jenova and itÂ’s up to Cloud to reunite with his friends to stop the utter destruction of the world again."

Advent Children features some great action scenes, including motorcycle and aerial combat - and not to mention a brilliant Sword fight between Cloud and Kadej. There are a few differences between the Japanese and the US versions, most notably the character voice overs, with a completely new voice cast featuring in the US version.

Some lucky Final Fantasy fans even managed to grab some freebies, such as PSP accessories and Calendars, and are probably at the envy of every other Final Fantasy fans right now. For anybody that wasn't lucky enough to be at the premiere, Final Fantasy VII: Avdent Children goes on sale April 25th on both UMD and DVD .

Uh.... why? It's out in 3 weeks.



Anyone else have any other 'noticable' differences, besides the blatantly obvious fact of the voice cast?

» Subbed version good but.....

I liked the english sub titled version because you don't see the mouth movement out of sink. I hope the english version is good with the movements. I can't wait to check it out in english though.

Uh, Why would I sell to you, how do I know you are'nt some crazy ass fed? think about that, sorry I brought that up but Cloud did'nt really defeat Sephiroth, that sorry ass attack did'nt effect him one bit, Cloud just killed Kadaj instead, man.

by Anonymous Coward - 2006-04-20 16:38
» *snicker*

Sephiroth would have killed Cloud in two seconds if he wanted to. He just wanted to toy with him, make him suffer for having gotten in his way in the first place. I like the part where Kadaj transforms in to Sephiroth by taking in Jenova's cells right after stating " Welcome to the real reunion, Cloud." Yup, in the last fifteen minutes of the movie Cloud gets to be Sephiroth's personal sand bag before Cloud pulls off the Omni Slash.

» No Way!

Cloud could kick the ***** out of Sephiroth anytime.

» *snicker*

Well , I hope you watch the anime movie because Sephiroth will come back way more powerful than ever. y'know Sephiroth is my favorite anime villan of all time. He makes all the other villans look harmless.
