About all we can say for sure is that Advent Children is bound to be better than the ill-fated Spirits Within flick of 2001, and fans shouldn’t be bummed out by its non-interactive nature- you might get your FFVII game sequel yet.
Options discussed include a traditional DVD, a full theatrical release, or maybe even distribution via the Internet. “We wanted to challenge ourselves and do something new-a visual work- and see how our work will be accepted.” Details are sketchy on how this hour-long CG film will be released in the summer of 2004 in Japan (the U.S. “A game sequel is a simple solution, but that might be too easy," says Advent Children (and original FFVII) Producer Yoshinori Kitase. It’s a little trickier, however, to figure out why Square Enix would make a film rather than a game. It's easy to understand why Square Enix would want to make a sequel to FFVII: It was a true turning point for the franchise, ushering in a new era of cinematic style and darker themes that helped popularize RPGs in North America, and it’s still the best-selling FFin America to date.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children isn’t a game-it’s a CG-ani-mated movie. While it's always overshadowed by America’s annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, this past September’s Tokyo Game Show proved that it's still got some fight left in it, as the event was headlined by major announcements from Square Enix (sorry, no Final Fantasy XII yet-patience, grasshopper).Īfter denying rumors for months of a follow-up to Final Fantasy WII(PS1), Square Enix finally dropped the bomb at TGS: Yes, it is making a sequel.of sorts.
