I don’t play computer games. Takes too much of my very precious time. I’ve got a list the size of my arm in terms of things I want to do that playing video games just seems like a complete and utter waste. However the only PS game I own is Final Fantasy VII. I loved everything about this game. The characters, the plot, the graphics, the gameplay everything.

So I’m in WHSmiths (magazine, bookstore, dvd you get the picture store) and I’m flipping through the latest 3D World mag simply because I thought the cover image was completely unreal, go have a look, and anyway I notice a little piece about something called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Seems they’re making a movie based on those characters, chronologically set 2 years after the end of the game. This won’t be a theatrical release but will go straight to DVD. My only reaction to that was AWESOME. I mean this is basically what I originally wanted to see when I watched Final Fantasy: Spirit Within. This is going to be huge, and that’s before I even got to see the trailer. Seems I’m well behind on this news as there’s several sites that have popped up to cover this massive event. It’s a massive event because FF7 is still Squaresoft’s best selling title ever. My magic eight ball tells me this movie is going to be huge.

Honestly I can’t wait to see this movie.
