Square Enix announced today that existence of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children an computer-generated animated feature which will debut on DVD sometime in 2004.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children follows Cloud two years after the events depicted in the 1997 PSone RPG, as he tries to save what has become a peaceful world from oncoming darkness.
The screens below show Cloud's new CG model, as well as one for Sephiroth. It may be disappointing for some fans to learn that this won't be a game, but, alas, some could argue that Square is just skipping to all the good parts. ;)

Square Enix revealed as part of their Tokyo Game Show line-up two new games in the Kingdom Hearts series, Kingdom Hearts II for the PlayStation 2 and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the Game Boy Advance. Though both games are due in Japan next year (with North American release dates certain to follow), very little is currently known.
Kingdom Hearts II begins one year after the original, in Twilight Town, a town perpetually shrouded in darkness. That's all we know about KHII.
And that's how much more we know than Chain of Memories. Besides the fact that it will be an RPG, probably of the action persuasion, very little has been disclosed about either title. Hopefully, TGS will shed some additional light. In the meantime, enjoy the screens below.

Famitsu got the scoop on two "new" games coming from Square Enix: Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
Both updated ports of the original late '80s RPGs, Final Fantasy is a port of the recent WonderSwan Color/PlayStation remake, while Dragon Quest harkens from the Super Famicom. Both games will be made available on cellular phones, thanks to the iMode and DoCoRo service plans.

Yay for Kingdom Hearts!
Nay for cellphone-only ports of FF and DQ!! Damn you, Square!!
It's really cool. It's like you're actually playing a real game, but it's flash! That's gotta be a first! Megaman controls EXACTLY like in his games, and the Metroid world behaves exactly like in that game. You'll feel right at home, in a twisted amalgamated sort of way. The only thing it needs is a side where you play as Samus in Megaman's world working up to a battle against him.
Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a big fan of FFX. Thusly, I'm highly anticipating the upcoming FFX-2, but a nagging concern has been haunting me, and I've not heard anything about it. It's the voice acting. Did they bring back the old voice actors? If Yuna and company all have new voices I'm going to get violent.
That's the only concern of mine that's not been rectified by reviews I've read, or that I've since accepted.
It seems obvious, and I'm sure they did bring everyone back, but does anyone know for sure?
Quote:September 24, 2003 - In Nintendo of America's very GameCube-centric conference call early this morning, senior vice president of marketing and communications George Harrison first confirmed that Mario Golf and Metroid: Zero Mission, both for the Game Boy Advance, will be released as Early 2004 software titles.
Mario Golf for the Game Boy Advance will feature direct connectivity with Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on the GameCube. Metroid: Zero Mission is a follow-up to the incredibly successful Metroid Fusion on the handheld.
Harrison also made mention that, thanks to the successful release of the Game Boy Advance SP, the age demographic of the Game Boy market has aged significantly. The original Game Boy system featured a break down of about 33% of the owners as 18 years old or older; on the SP, that number is 45%.
Nintendo anticipates selling through 20 million Game Boy Advance units, both original and GBA SPs, by the end of this year.
Quote:This time it is Atari cancelling some GameCube titles. Head inside to see which ones bite the dust...
Today at the SEGA event in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, we had a litte chat with Atari. Atari representatives were at the event because Atari distributes the SEGA titles in the Benelux. Unfortunately, Atari brought us some bad news.
Some of you may have already heard of these Cube cancellations. Today Atari confirmed the rumours...
Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Driver 3 will not be released for the Nintendo GameCube.
Fortunately, Atari said we will probably see the sequel to Dragonball Z: Budokai on the Nintendo GameCube. And the following titles are also still on for a release on the GameCube: XGRA, The Powerpuff Girls, Beyblade, Dexter's Laboratory, Carmen San Diego, Kero Kero King, and Digimon Rumble Arena 2.
More coverage of Tuesday's SEGA event will be posted on Cube-Europe throughout the week.

Since we've been begging Nintendo for so long to take a chance and release Fire Emblem in the states, you people sure as hell better buy it when it comes out on November 3rd! The future of the series' life in the U.S. depends on it!!
Don't make me come over there... and don't think I won't really do it! Ever seen Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? It'll be just like the ending of that movie.
Some of our inside sources at N-Philes have found out that the GameCube will definitely be dropping in price to $99 before the end of the year. Okay, our inside source isn't anything special, but we're pretty confident in it. No word yet on the GBA SP or the Mario Kart bundle rumor.
