This past Monday marked the arrival of an eager, video game enthused audience packed within the walls of the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California. The occasion, to the surprise of few, was the long-awaited North American premiere of the entirely CGI-constructed DVD movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, to be precise. An engaging event both for fans who'd already seen the Japanese version and those who hadn't alike.

Although the dubbed film won't be in stores until the 25th of this month, a one and only theatrical screening of the sequel to the hit RPG was taken in by an enormous 800 person crowd. Among those gathered at the scene were several big hands in the movie's development including the group of English voice actors, scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, co-directors Takeshi Nozue and Tetsuya Nomura, and producer Shinji Hashimoto.

In addition to the movie itself, the well received game trailers of the now available Kingdom Hearts II and the unspecific yet soon-to-be released Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII were shown preceding the feature presentation.

Well, the movie has debuted in a Los Angeles theater in year 2006 and it's more than forty minutes long, so I guess it's technically eligible for a 2007 Best Animated Feature Oscar. A nomination's pretty doubtful, though, because later this year, for the first time ever, Pixar, Dreamworks, and Aardman are all releasing an animated feature film in the same year. Sorry, Square.

Link seems to be broken.

Also, GKWorld is incredibly expensive. Amazon.com has it for nearly 10 dollars less. My link has no affiliate tag... but perhaps CoN would like to use theirs?

Although I've already preordered mine... =/

As luck would have it, I just did that.
