Hard to care anymore!
It's that time of the month again: Today, Electronic Gaming Monthly subscribers will begin finding the latest issue (October, #196) stuffed into their mail slots. Along with the usual informative previews, controversial reviews, and ads for cell phone wallpaper, the issue boasts a massive cover story of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII project, featuring in-depth information on the multiple FFVII spin-offs headed your way.
You'll have to pick up the issue for the full scoop, but here's a bit of sobering news: Contrary to previous reports, the full-length CG motion picture FFVII: Advent Children will not be launching stateside simultaneously with its Japanese counterpart on September 13th. Instead, Sony Pictures plans a U.S. release on both UMD and 2-disc "Special Edition" DVD this "holiday season." What does that mean, exactly? Probably a mid-to-late November release, as the publisher wants to get those lucrative day-after-Thanksgiving "Black Friday" sales.
No official theatrical release is planned, although Square Enix has hinted at the possibility of one-off promotional events in major markets. We'll keep you posted.
Oh, and the 2-disc DVD will feature some trailers, bonus features, and behind-the-scenes stuff, but not that cool 'Last Order' anime short that's included in the ridiculously expensive $300 Japanese limited edition. Sucks to be us!
