As you are likely aware, Square Enix is re-re-releasing Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on BluRay in Japan with some extra goodies and tacking on a "Complete" onto the end. The goodies include some bonus footage and the like, but is unarguably most notable for its inclusion of a playable PS3 demo for the highly-anticipated Final Fantasy XIII.The hardest of the hardcore North American Final Fantasy fans have probably all pre-ordered Japanese copies to ensure that they will be able to get the demo. But for the fence-sitters or the import-wary among you, it seems that the BluRay will actually be making its way to North America early this summer.
The disc is touted as featuring the following:
- "Legacy of Final Fantasy VII" Featurette
- "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII" Original Story Digest
- On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Denzel Animated Film
- "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII VII Compilation" Story Digest
- Exclusive Sneak Peek at Final Fantasy XIII
- Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Trailers
It is currently unconfirmed if the "sneak peak" of Final Fantasy XIII is indeed the playable demo, or a trailer, or something else entirely. (But chances are good that it is the demo, imo.)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete will be available on BluRay this June in North America. It will be available in Japan on April 16, 2009.
