New Final Fantasy Advent Children Trailer

Square-Enix has released a New Advent Children Trailer for E3, dutifully hosted by Gamespot, and it is by far the most coherent and beautiful so far. You can finally get a sense of the story they're going to be telling, and can catch a glimpse of nearly every character from the game. From the article: "While the end of the trailer displays a date for the North American release, we've been told by Square Enix that they're still in talks with Sony Pictures Entertainment in regards to a release date outside of Japan. However, the release should be close to Japan's September date, so fans in the United States shouldn't have to endure for too much longer to get their Final Fantasy goodness."

The trailer looks great, but...

After watching Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, I was left feeling a little empty. I couldn't quite figure out why I didn't think it was fantastic since I am a huge fan of the games. I thought maybe it was the animation...nah, that was great....maybe it was the voice acting...or the script...those could be it. But I really think the difference is that I don't have as much emotional attachment to the characters. You spend a lot more time with your characters in a game. Also, what would be the slow parts of the movie are user controlled. They leave a lot of the climax parts for the videos which makes them more of a treat. I think I will have that in mind and lower my expectations a little. I need to view this as just a movie...not an interactive novel like the games are.
