FFVII: Advent Children - Square’s new FFVII project

[Cid Highwind]

It’s been 6 years now since FFVII was released and made Final Fantasy famous worldwide. 9 million copies have been sold and by and large it is the favourite of FF fans everywhere. It has endured to this day, a feat not achieved by many games made 6 years ago. Last October, about a year ago, Square confirmed that they will be developing a direct sequel to FFX, FFX-2, which is coming out in stores in North America in a couple of months. As the first direct sequel to any of the FF games in the main series, this astounding news quickly led to heated discussion on whether or not FFVII would also get a sequel, something fans have clamoured for since this most popular of FF games first hit the shelves.

The rumours started spreading after FFVII’s producer, long time Square worker Kitase revealed in an interview that he personally would like to see a FFVII sequel and also that some of his co-workers, such names as Tetsua Nomura (the character designer of FFVII, FFVIII and FFX as well as FFX-2) were like minded. However, afterwards Kitase completely denied the possibility of any sort of FFVII remake or sequel by saying that it would be impossible as they wouldn’t be able to use the same engine for the game as they had in 1997 and so the whole project would just be too expensive.

Last April FFWA had an FFVII-2 April Fool’s joke that spread like wildfire through the internet, and even ended up on IGN’s "the biggest PS2 rumours" article. Until today the FFVII-2 rumour was still at large on the internet, even if it had no evidence to back it up other than Kitase saying that he’d be willing to work on a project like that before going into complete denial.

However, since this has been a topic of discussion among fans for a while, maybe Square has started to take note and suddenly found the inspiration for a new FFVII project. Or maybe they just wanted to keep us in suspense and have been planning this all along. Either way sources say that Square is coming up with a new FFVII project!

...FFVII: Advent Children.

This title supposedly takes place 2 years after the events of FFVII, so at least we’re finally getting an answer to our long asked question, "Just what happened during the ending of FFVII?". Cloud and Sephiroth appear to be on it, but there is no information about who the other characters are going to be.



It is also unclear if this newely reported release is going to be a movie or a playable game. In the Japanese scans the word "DVD" is repeated a few times, so it's not actually clear whether this is going to be a playable title.

The characters aren’t going to be in that cute anime style anymore, instead they've gone through a transformation and now look more like actual people. In my persona opinion however, certain aspects such as Cloud's gravity defying hairstyle really doesn't work well with this new look.

FFVII-2 is only a movie. Sorry gang. All we get is about 60 minutes of great animation based on FFVII. Should be plently better than that other FF movie, tho.
