Final Fantasy Advent Children Release Dated

Gamespot has the date for the DVD release for Final Fantasy: Advent Children. The Square-Enix cg animated film will be released on September 14th in both America and Japan. From the article: "The magazine announced that Advent Children will be released on DVD and made no mention of a PSP-friendly Universal Media Disk (UMD) format. A limited-edition package will be arriving on the same date. Details on what bonuses it will include haven't been disclosed yet. In Japan, the normal edition DVD will be priced at 4,800 yen ($45)."

(Advent Rising is something completely different)

Sony (or the gaming media) touted FFAC as one of the flagship titles for the PSP. All sources claimed it would appear on UMD as well as DVD but if it's DVD only now that might show declining confidence in the PSP. If Square-Enix decides the PSP isn't worth supporting many users will follow.

Why is this is such a big deal? There has been no previous mention of Advent Rising hitting the PSP. What just because Square has released a ton of games for the PS2 that means all their content will be available on a Sony game device?

Um, yes there has been.

Sony even had PSPs on display at E3 last year showing the trailer for it.

How you and the submitter missed all this is beyond me.

Sort of. It was initially slated to be a 45 minute film that sort of embraced and extended the FFVII story, probably to get everything set up for FFVII part 2. Square decided to go ahead and make it feature length at some point. I'm happy they did. I hate RPG's and didn't care much for playing FFVII, but the story and characters were awesome and seeing them in a full length film will be sweet.
