Here is the 1up article that cites the Electronic Gamng Monthly article.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3143124 We should prob read the EGM issue for all the details. It would also explain why we can't pre-order it at any other anime internet sites. |

Don't jinx it. 
Need the less, what ever reason why they pushed it back 3 months. it must be a pretty darn good reason, like not enough motercycles for the Unlimte Edition for the US. Note: Pipe dream |

The countdown was quite amazing at knowing this release was official. I wonder what went wrong. Will they change the countdown to around November?

Just rent it. There's no point in owing it if it sucks, and it'll probably be at Blockbuster.

Here's one of the major problems with Advent Children: the lip movements are exactly synched to the Japanese dialogue. The director went out of his way to make the mouth movements extremely realistic for Japanese language, so the English dub is going to look really bizarre, like an old Godzilla movie.
I think the delay has something to do with that. And yes, Sony is about to lose a lot of money to fansubbers; I thought the simultaneous release strategy was a great way to deter fansubbing, but they kinda threw that out the window there. |

Supposedly, SQ'ENIX is giving the film a theatrical release here-possibly for a Best Animated Film run-so if that's the case, they're probably building up anticipation for the dvd. I don't think dumping it straight-to-video next month will help their bottom line if they don't build up more hype and awareness for it. Anyway, if the downloaders like it, then everyone else will buy it. Especially because people will pick dvd quality and sub accuracy over crappy camcorder recordings most of the time. (Assuming the dvd actually includes the Japanese track and subtitles, not dubtitles...)

Well, just think about it--Sony proves themself stupid. They don't realize that they, by doing this, lost a LOT of sales. Now, many people that would have BOUGHT it to see it sooner will now download it cause it'll be out first (probably in the first week of being released in Japan).
And it really couldn't have been anything about the dub (god-forbid it) because the movie has been in development for years. Surely they could have gotten a copy of the final script and started early. And the Last Order OVA will probably be availibe by Fansubers the day it comes out or the following...So I'm not quite worried about it. My main argument is that this movie was stated for release...what...twice last year. Then we get promised a simultanious release (mistake...I think not...), but then they (Sony) say "Oh lets cash in on the Holiday cash."--like the fans wouldn't have bought it anyway...HA! Jerks... |

The short Last Order OAV will be included in the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Ultimate Edition, which will retail for 29,500 yen (~US$270) and is to be released on September 14.
Correct me if I've read this wrong... But the Ultimate Edition of Final Fantasy 7: AC is gonna cost a whopping $270.00 dollars?!?! Do I get a special edition ff ps2 with it too? I'd better get something more then just 2 dvds for that cost.

So far they haven't announced a release outside of Japan so you may not even get that option. You DO get a lot more than just two DVDs. You get a Cloud wolf logo keychain, Cloud wolf logo T-shirt, Cloud wolf logo hat with canister, Cloud action figure with Fenrir bike (by Play Arts), a copy of FFVII for PSX, and (I think) a copy of the script (in Japanese). I may have missed or mixed up somehthing, but you do get your moneys worth. I'm doubtfull that a US release would be that extensive though, probably the DVD set and figure with bike (since they don't seem to be releasing the figure alone). Emerje |

As I said in my e-mail,
Now, in addition to the 1-sheet, we also have people who mentionned the NA website. I didn't see this for myself, but it sounds like SQ-Enix messed this up and is trying to pretend that it never happenned. -t |
