Apologies if you aren't a fan of Advent Children, but this week's Deal Alert was just too good to pass up - it's a reduction of 92 percent from the list price!
Last week we told you about a deal on Advent Children Complete (Blu-Ray), so this week we're letting you know about a mega deal on a 11x17 Advent Children poster.
It's only $2.05 over at Amazon.com, with the list price being $24.99. If you want to have it framed, it costs a little bit more - it's still a nice touch though, right?
Featuring Tifa, Marlene, Cloud and a host of other characters, Case of Tifa covers the events of the Final Fantasy VII universe from the eyes and ears of Tifa Lockhart, impressively voiced by Christina McBride.
It's definitely worth checking out, the production is quite impressive and Christina makes for a very believable Tifa.
A while back, Square Enix released a CG gallery for the iPhone called Final Fantasy XIII Larger Than Life which brought high resolution images of Final Fantasy XIII to its users. An iPad version was also released which included some 3D images with it.
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete has now got its own Larger Than Life gallery app with 83 images included. These images are a mixture of 3D rendered artwork and stills from the Blu-Ray Advent Children Complete which can be zoomed in and out and can also be used as backgrounds in the app’s calendar mode.
There are several characters featured from the Final Fantasy VII Compilation such as Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth. The app costs 700 Yen and is available now on the Apple app store.
No, I swear this isn't a joke. Square Enix really have added aromatic candles to their line-up of wacky merchandising. You'd have thought the Advent Children hype train might have died down by now, but Square Enix are apparently still keen to promote the movie and Cloud/Sephiroth candles seems to, in their minds, be the best way to do that.
This follows of course, the release of Cloud and Sephiroth Eau de Toilette a few weeks back and to be honest, you have to wonder what they're going to be adding next. Perhaps they'll start selling a working version of the Fenrir?
For those who're interested, and if you are, you probably already pre-ordered them anyway, the candles will retail for 2,200 Yen and will be available Fall 2010.
In 2007, a Korean company called Fantom started distributing a music video (Sonata of Temptation) by K-Pop star IVY that contained an unauthorized live-action scene-for-scene adaptation of a scene from Advent Children.
Square Enix filed an injunction and the Seoul Central District Court ordered Fantom to cease distribution and sales of the video in April, 2007. In March of the following year, it then decided that Fantom should pay approximately $250,000 in damages to Square Enix.
Fantom appealed the decision and the case was taken to the Seoul High Court. However, Square Enix were the victors again, and the damages needing to be paid were increased to approximately $325,000.
In a press release today, Square Enix issued a statement directly targeting those who wish to share the new Blu-ray edition of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete on the internet via illegal methods.
Square Enix have been getting a lot tighter with regards to protecting their Intellectual Property recently, and they've even started taking down footage from their games off of YouTube. In the press release it is claimed that they are continuously monitoring the internet, with selected sites (not mentioned) being earmarked as specifically garnering their attention.
Should websites be found to have the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete download available, they can be looking forward to communication from Square Enix which will initially come in the form of emails or letters.
A new TV commercial has aired in Japan which gives a more extended look at Advent Children Complete than the last one which aired a couple of weeks ago. This one is much more focused on promoting Advent Children than its pack-in; the Final Fantasy XIII Trial Version.
A new trailer for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children complete has just surfaced and it's actually quite long. It comes in at just over 4 1/2 minutes, so you definitely get a good feel for the film, if you haven't already seen it that is.
It's also available in High-Quality, so be sure to check that out if you can. The video can be found after the jump.
