TGS 06: Advent Children Complete Impressions

By Matthew Rorie, GameSpotPosted Sep 22, 2006 3:05 am PT

Advent Children returns to DVD and Blu-ray, with some new enhancements. Possible spoilers.

TOKYO--Square Enix today showed a very brief trailer for its upcoming rerelease of Advent Children, titled Advent Children: Complete, which is due to hit stores in both DVD and Blu-ray formats.

The trailer didn't show much in the way of new material, although it did briefly show both the DVD and Blu-ray version of Advent Children: Complete in a side-by-side comparison. From what we could see, the Blu-ray version had a marginally smoother picture and slightly brighter colors, but nothing that would necessarily be worth paying a large premium for.

More intriguingly, though, was the apparently new material that seems to have been included in the Complete version of the disc. Although we're not sure of the extent of the material, a brief changed scene was shown in the trailer. After Sephiroth stabs Cloud through the shoulder near the end of the original version of the film, he simply remained impaled to a wall; but here, Sephiroth picks him up off the ground and holds him aloft by the blade of the sword.

The trailer ended at that point, giving only a glimpse at what might have changed in this "complete" version of the film. Whether this is a true director's cut of the film, or if it simply incorporates a small change or two to try to get people to buy the Blu-ray version, remains to be seen. We'll have more details on the title as they become available.

    Sephiroth "picks Cloud up off the ground and holds him aloft by the blade of the sword"? Man, if Cloud threw ya tail in the Nibelhiem Incident with the sword impaled in him, don't think he won't do it again LOL.

    Yeah, I wish they would remake FFVII for the PS3 too because I was only 6 years old.

    Also, I think that they need to let go of FF7 and concentrate on making other games. I mean MY GOD! They've made so many continuations off of it that it's nuts!

    I watched the normal version on TV Links before it was closed down, and it was amazing! I wonder what they could've added to it?

    Why let FFVII die? If you want it to die then don't buy it -- there you go it is officially dead to you. If something is good and they can make it good then of course I'll bite into it and urge them on.

    "Square Enix... I think it's time to stop thrusting FF7 stuff down our throats. Yes, FF7 was good and I enjoyed Advent Chidlren and Last Order... but with Dirge of Cerberus around the corner and now this... for goodness sake, let it die."

    I'd say the same about Mario. Even more so.

    Why does everyone say "OMG MILKING LOL" Seriously, just because a game is open-ended and gets much deserved sequels doesnt make it milked. I'm glad Advent Children is getting a special addition because it's also including a english dub of Last-Order for those who didn't know.

    If they add more scenes and bundle this with Last Order, I'll waste no time buying it.
    But if they really want my money, they should bundle Last Order and On the way to a Smile. Pop it in a collectors tin with a keychain and they have guaranteed at least 55 of my hard earned dollars.

    Advent children Good Version? I thought the trailers were better than the movie. Don't get me wrong; the graphics get a perfect 5 out of five, but the movie is a 3/5 in my mind, 3.5/5 tops. But "last order" was perfect, can't believe it wasn't released here.
