UPDATE – Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Delayed – Again!

By Rachel on February 12, 2006


The head bitches at Sony have done it now. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will now be coming out on DVD towards the end of 2006. WTF!? 12 more months of waiting? Why?

I’m guessing us overeager fans are to blame. Some fans have gotten their greedy lil’ hands on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children via the net and have been watching it that way. Apparently a fan in Sweden subbed Advent Children (and subbed it well I might add) and then dispersed it online – where it’s been downloaded relentlessly for the past 5 months. I don’t know anyone that hasn’t seen it, actually, except people who don’t like Final Fantasy VII (or who don’t get out much).

So now, Sony is adding “supplemental material” to the DVD to make it more sellable. I totally would’ve bought Advent Children ‘as is’ and so would most loyal fans. The upside to all this is that now I have new things to look forward to watching on the DVD.

Sadly though, two words that I’ve seen kicked around will keep me from watching the dubbed version on the release – “all-star cast”. I’m scared to think who will play Cloud…Brad Pitt? Ben Affleck? How’s about Tifa? I don’t even wanna guess.

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.
