An official press release from Square Enix today has finally confirmed the release date for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, better known in some circles as "the FFXIII demo with the Advent Children Blu-ray movie bundled with it!" Feast your eyes on this!

Back when they first announced it during their DKS event, they had it notched with a March 2009 release window. Apparently, it's now been pushed back to April 16. Not that that's anything to worry about. If you're so set in getting a Japanese demo for FF13 (oh, and a copy of Advent Children on Blu-ray too), then a few more weeks of waiting wouldn't hurt.

The launch of FF7ACC on Blu-ray will see the following releases - one as a PS3 bundle, one with just the Blu-ray movie and the demo, and the last as just a stand-alone FF7ACC Blu-ray disc:
  1. "Cloud Black" FF7ACC PS3 bundle includes:
    • 160GB special edition PS3 console with the Cloud logo
    • the FFXIII Trial Version Set (see below)
    • JPÂ¥ 49,980 (around US$ 550)
  2. Final Fantasy XIII Trial Version Set includes:
    • a copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on Blu-ray
    • a copy of the Final Fantasy XIII demo
    • JPÂ¥ 5,900 (around US$ 65)
  3. BD Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
    • standalone Blu-ray for just the movie
    • JPÂ¥ 4,900 (around US$ 55)
Most likely, the FF13 demo is in Japanese. They did, after all, say that the demo is exclusive for Japan, so all hope of Square Enix possibly localizing the demo's text in English is close to none. On the other hand, the Blu-ray movie will have an option for English audio. Subtitles however are only in Japanese.
