[Verthanthi]

How can they forget the hours of level building?

[jiu jitsu]

and the mandatory random minigames like blitzball

I was thinking more along the lines of themes.

[Miku19]

I need to go get a box of Kleenex, cuz seeing this brings a tear to my eye. GOOD GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[NaiLed]

aye.. Sephiroth looks weird though imo

[iLDuce]

Yeah, but I'm guessing that those are just sephiroth clones- hence the name Advent Children (Coming of the Children)

So I guess that's why Sephiroth looks a lil off.

[Dameon Angell]

both cloud and sephiroth look a little off, because of the fact that they're so detailed now, we're not used to seeing them look the way they do.

on another note, i'm glad they're making this 2 yrs after, cuz i really wanna know what happened after Aerith casted holy and sent the lifeforce after the ... dark force, i kinda forgot how it went, but i really wanna know what happened to the party on the Highwind and crap.

[Mayo Inc.]

yeah... i'll bet you "forgot how it went"

[Dameon Angell]

what is that supposed to mean? :P. i haven't played that game in ages.

This week, additional information on the game was publicized.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will take place two years after the original PlayStation Final Fantasy VII game. The world looks to be peaceful, having avoided destruction, but inhabitants have begun suffering a new physical malaise called Seikon-Shoukougun.

Cloud has been living alone up to this point. While Sephiroth was seen in promotional footage at the Tokyo Game Show, it is not known if he has been resurrected or if his appearance was a dramatization from Cloud's past.

Two mysterious characters are seen in Advent Children--one is a gray-haired man in a tight black costume (actually seen fighting duels with Cloud during various promotional events at TGS). Another mysterious character is covered in white linen from head to toe, seen sitting in a wheelchair. No hints have been given as to who this character is.

The game's creative staff is listed as the following:

Director: Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy VII character designer, Kingdom Hearts director)
Co-Director: Takeshi Nozue (Final Fantasy IX CG designer, Final Fantasy X animation director)
Producer: Yoshinori Kitase (Final Fantasy X director)
Co-Producer: Shinji Hashimoto (Final Fantasy VIII producer)
Script Writer: Kazunari Nojima (Final Fantasy X script writer)
Art Director: Yusuke Naora (Final Fantasy X art director)
Music Composition: Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy series music composer)
Mech and Creature Design: Takayuki Takeya (Anime "Heat Guy J" mech designer, freelance figure artist)

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is scheduled for release in the summer of 2004.

Is it just me who was predicting the second half of this sentence to say something different having just read the first part of it?
