Q: When is Advent Children being released in [insert country here]?

A: Advent Children was released in Japan on September 14, 2005; almost two years after it's initial announcement two years ago. The movie was released on DVD and UMD [for the Sony PSP].

Although Square-Enix previously was aiming towards a simultaneous release in Japan and the US, sadly this did not eventuate. Instead, the US releasee date has been pushed back a couple of times, with no further official release date known at this time. Many stores have reported release dates ranging between Janauary and April 2006. However as these dates can be used as a guide, they are subject to change once an official release date has been announced.

Currently no official statement by Square-Enix has been made regarding a release to other countries [UK, Europe, Australia, etc].

Q: I have heard about a sequel to Final Fantasy VII. Is this going to happen?

A: It depends in what context the term "sequel" is used. If referring to a "direct" sequel which takes place right after the game and is the same game-play, etc then the answer is "no".

However, three FFVII related games have been announced. Before Crisi, which is a prequel and was released as a cell phone game in Japan in 2004. Dirge of Cerberus, which is a action game for the PS2 featuring Vincent as the main character. And Crisis Core which is a RPG for the PSP of which very few details have been announced as yet, other than it appears it will revolve around Zack.

Q: Where can I buy the Cloudy Wolf ring and earring that you have in the Artwork/Misc section of the site?

A: The only place that we know of where you can purchase these from are through Square-Enix's Japanese website. However, the bad news is that you must have a Japanese shipping address in order to buy from their online store.

However, we have also seen them turn up on eBay from time to time, but be prepared to pay over $300 US if this is something you want to try bidding on.
