I'm amused you completely miss the satire.

So is there still no actual proper confirmation about whether the DVD will include the original Japanese audio? It should be a given, but then Square hasn't exactly been using the most rational logic in their actions, so I'm still worried.

The amount of contradictory info is bothersome. The AC website (at least I'm assuming it's the official website) states that April 24th has been confirmed as the European launch date and also a simultaneous release for Europe, US and I guess Australia unless S-E forgets them again. Considering everyone's been talking about 25th being the US release, this is puzzling. Also, while the news is listed on the site's front page, no one's bothered to update the DVD info, which still states TBA for Europe =/

Either way, at least we know they won't just skip Europe this time. Not that I'm not hesitant about the purchase already. The extras are a joke, but at least the alleged preorder bonus disc won't have anything of interest on it so that's a small comfort. Still, no Last Order (not that I really personally liked it, but leaving it out is just stupid), apparently no director's commentary and there don't seem to be any informative documentaries either (a featurette doesn't count and I couldn't care less what the localization team want to gush about). So all you have left is the movie alone which, while entertaining, certainly won't be worth the €29.90 I know they'll be asking for here. I'll just have to wait and see if the picture quality is outstanding or just decent before I make my choice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Or maybe they just fucked up the release date for Europe. Maybe they screwed Europe? I wouldn't be surprised.....


:doh:

They tend not to take time difference into consideration. And a simultaneous release usually means "24th in the US, 8th next month for Europe) or something similar

Anyway, http://www.adventchildren.net/ is obviously not an official site, but Sony Pictures UK really does list it with concrete info on a Japanese audio track and deleted scenes among others, so I'm pretty releaved.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Incidentally, I would like to see Cloud and Tifa kiss and make babies, but since when did Square actually give fans proper closure anyway? =/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
