Eurogamer said in an article that Sony has announced an April release for AC in Europe. Here's the article:

FFVII: Advent Children dated
by Ellie Gibson
08/02/2006 12:51

Sony Pictures has announced that CGI feature film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will be released in Europe this coming April.

Advent Children features the voices of Jessica Alba off of Fantastic Four, movie/pop starlet Mandy Moore and Steve Burton. Steve previously provided the voice of Cloud in Kingdom Hearts, and once appeared in an episode of Who's the Boss?.

The film is set two years after the events of FFVII and sees Cloud tasked with saving a load of kids from a deadly disease called Geostigma. Sephiroth's in it.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is out on DVD and UMD on April 24th, priced £19.99.

Source: Eurogamer

Does this mean we can expect a release in the US before April? :unsure:

Apparantly yes, it does. Ugh...I was kinda hoping they weren't going to use their disney voice actors...but maybe they couldn't get anyone else.

Anyway, WalMart.com has the release date for AC listed as April 25th for the US. I checked today at the store after seeing the ad for it in Playstation Magazine.

EDIT: By the way...that article almost seems fake...with that explanation of the movie and "Sephiroth's in it"? It seems like it isnt even real.

I know what you mean, but I think Eurogamer's usually pretty reliable.

Can we really trust that news? O_o It will be a big suprise if it was true, cause I never expected SE releasing AC so early...

*Confuzzled* :huh:

I thought Mena Suvari and that other woman was going to voice as Aeris and Tifa? Since they were said to be the VAs for them in KH? So I naturally assumed they would VA for them in AC as well.

The other article that said that turned out to be fake. That's not to say that this is confirmed. At this point, I'm not sure what to believe. :lol: :P

All except for the release date. That seems to be real, since Leon found the same date posted at Amazon.co.uk. Thanks for finding that, Leon! :huggle:

That seems real enough =)

I don't see why having the voice actors from KH is so bad, they did a really awesome job there.

URGGGHHHHHH...!!!

Why can't I just have a nice English subtitled version with the original Japanese VAs? Please let this be an included option because I seriously can't live or even bring myself to buy a copy if it only includes the disgustingly nervegrating Hollywood cast. :puke: :cry:

I hope that to, I mostly prefer Japanese dubs of anything but SE knows not to hire any idiot to portray the voices of Tifa, Barret, ect.

Steve Burton did a fantastic job of Cloud in KH so its great for him! ^_^ Mandy Moore on the other hand...she did okay as Aerith but really didn't bring in that much feeling of her character.

Yeah. <_< It's so friggin' annoying, I'd prefer the Japanese voices, and then small subtitles... American or British voices would just ruin it and spoil the effect. The film is alot more beautiful in Japanese... ^_^ I just get that feeling...

I would've been a lot more accepting of this if they included a multi-cultural cast of English speaking VAs for the job. Especially considering that the characters in the FFVII world come from several different continents and therefore would definatly not have the same accents as each other. For example, Aeris would've sounded really good with a light Welsh accent, Yuffie with a Japanese accent, Cloud and Tifa with American accents, Cid with maybe an Irish accent, Barret with an African-American accent, Nanaki with a wise Indian accent, Vincent with a more European accent... it would've been really nice to have a feeling that these characters came from a world that stretched beyond Midgar and didn't all sprout up from around the Los Angeles area. <_<

I definatly agree EnglishRose... If they can't be bothered making the effort in hiring a decent (and most probably cheaper!) crew of English speaking VA's then we should at least have the option to keep the original Japanese cast with English subtitles.

You've got to remember though that SE are probably trying to find some english speaking actresses who have the same stray and sound voice boxes as the original Japanese actors/actresses.

That's at least what I think that are trying to do.

But well done on the accents! :yahoo: cept I really couldn't hear Cid doing an Irish accent. I dunno, maybe something like an Austrailian accent or something? I dunno.

Ugh... Mandy Moore again? <_< I would have preferred some non-celeb VAs. There are tons of talented VAs who dub Anime. Why couldn't they use some of them? :grr:
