The New Face of Cloud – FFVII: AC Complete

If you thought Square-Enix already gave us enough Cloud Strife, then you are wrong. With revealing of Zack and  Cloud’s back story in FFVII: Crisis Core, they have remade and re-released a new updated version of Advent Children titled Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

Don’t be fooled. This just isn’t limited to deleted scenes but new content, more detail, better graphics and just everything to make your inner Final Fantasy Fan girly scream with joy. They are even including full CGI feature “Denzel’s Story” which was only released as a animation short in Japanese.

However…there is one minor catch….FFVII: AC Complete will only be available on Blu Ray Disc. So far all of us out there who cannot afford the $200+ bucks for a Blu Ray Player (myself included T_T) will have to live off of internet clips and online spoilers until someone finally posts the whole move or your able to mooch off of someone else’s Blu Ray player. This epicly sucks but apparently the graphics are kick ass in High Def and Sony wanted to keep it that way. I both curse and applaud you Sony…

But…since I am here to feed your inner Final Fantasy Fan, what kind of person would I be if I didn’t give you something to make you sequel with joy and cry over the fact that you may not have a Blu Ray Player. Below you will find the Official FFVII: ACC Trailer released by Square-Enix in HD (it’s in Japanese mind you but everything is better in Japanese). You will also find a few other epic win video clips that I have included just because they are awesome to watch.

Complete Cloud Vs. Sephiroth Battle in HD
Some very lovely person posted the whole Cloud Vs. Sephiroth Battle in HD on Youtube. However, to keep Youtube from taking it down, they inverted the video colors but give you instruction on how to change it back.

An awesome kick butt, fan made AMV featuring clips from the new battle scene and the rest of the movie.

Another epic win fan made work that streams clips from Crisis Core and FFVII: ACC together in a short but sweet video.

Please enjoy and if you ever find the full FFVII: ACC movie posted online (or don’t mind someone mooching off of your Blu Ray, heh) Then please let me know! ^_^

November Begins!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates yet. Now that the Halloween Rush is over, it’s time to settle back down to life again.

Rhies comment yesterday asking how the Corn Maze was. It was pretty cold and there was quite a few people there but it was fun nonetheless. The whole thing was rather humorous. Karson is a bit of a ‘fraidy cat and tends to crack jokes about everything to take the edge off while me…I’m just not scared about anything in a rubber mask. In fact…*cough* a few people got flipped the bird from me. The guy who didn’t blare this car horn on the group that was in front of us but waited until we were RIGHT in front of him to let it rip and just about made our ears bleed. Also the guy who ran up with a chain saw right in my face so I got a lung full of diesel crap. Yes….both of them got flipped the bird. I don’t know if either of them saw it, but it was there.

….What? They said we couldn’t cuss. They never said anything about anything hand gestures. Heh.  Either way it was a fun evening and we plan of making it a tradition of going every year from now on.

—————————————–

As for the Fannatiku Rocktober…it was interesting. We stayed about 45mins or so, mingled, had our pictures taken and tried to win stuff in the raffle. Even though it was only about 9:45 by the time we left, things started winding down and they where just going to watch more J-rock videos. It was supposedly going to go until about 10:30 or 11:00 but we have short attention spans and  require constant entertainment or shiny objects. Nat did allow me to get up and give a report of our ASG Con and plug-in next year’s convention which was nice. We will also be having a half page ad in the Fannatiku Fest event which I’m hoping will bring in some new people to our con as well as interest more dealers and artists. We already have an artists pair who already wants a booth on reserve for our Sept 25th Con.

So far we have been getting a good response on our new date. Because so much does happen in the October Month in St. George and the nearby areas, a lot of people are free now to come to our  September Convention. It’s right after Anime Vegas so people are still on their anime high from that con and before Anime Banzai and homecoming. Both Karson and I are very excited for the ASG 2010 Con. It’s nice to have a breather for the holidays but I can’t until we open up Dealer Registration at the first of the year and Pre-Registration a few months after.

—————————————–

Oh yes…I almost forgot…Twilight: New Moon comes out this month if I remember right. Don’t me wrong, I’m a fan of the books. I love the story, however…the movies…..not so much. I find them quite comical actually and they are just so too easy to make fun of. I will be seeing New Moon simply I wanna see shirtless wolf men and the transformation graphics look pretty good. That and my Daddy got me free tickets. Heh.

So there is a little bit of me making fun of Twilight the Movies. The Books Rock. The Movies pretty much suck. Even tho I will most likely go see all of them for the hell of it.

No More DSC Dance – Hello Corn Maze!

Well it turns out that there REALLY isn’t a Halloween dance taking place at Dixie State College on Halloween. So far it is the only year that they haven’t had a dance and the only year we felt like actually going. The only other dance they have is one at the Dixie Center which is $25 bucks to get in. I don’t think so…

But oh well. We made new plans. We are still going to the Rocktober dance on the 30th but now on the 31th we will be heading out to Washington Fields for the Staheli Farms Haunted Corn Maze.

Staheli family Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

Admission: Adult 7.00 Child 5.00
Time: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Staheli Family Farm
Address: 3400 So. Washington Fields Road Washington Utah
Contact Information: Sherrie Reeder
Contact Phone: 435-673-4096

We will most likely be there around 7:30 or 8:00-ish. Whenever it gets dark. Most likely around 8:00 I would think then we are going out for dinner. I acutally like these plans better then going to a big dance with a lot of people. If you want to come, feel free to. It should be a pretty fun time.

I Wanna Walk Like An Egyptian…

Hey everyone, sorry for not posting very much lately. I’ve been on an Ancient Egypt kick lately. I’ve found out that one of my favorite games, Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile, has a patch for Windows Vista. Now that I FINALLY have a computer that can properly run a gaming cd (I had a laptop before and they don’t like game cds) I’ve just been addicted to it.

Finally with my CotN addiction winding down a bit, I’ve been going crazy with collecting Yu-gi-oh! Millennium World manga. It’s the final arch of the serise and the one that I haven’t actually read all the way through. I have to say it’s one of my favorite with its Ancient Egypt as the setting with a lot of mythology and magic. I already have Volumes 1-3 (which I have finished) and I’m itching to go and order the last four books so I can just have them all and be done with it. However….it is getting mighty cold outside and I’ve found that my winter wardrobe is mighty sad…. I feel the books will have to wait for now. T_T

FIY Bakura is a smexy beast. Another reason why I love the AE Arch: A lot of hot, shirtless, tan men. <3

Oh My…Curb The Drama Lama

I’ve now set the blog comment posts to all go into approval now due to a lot of drama that has been flying around lately. Before, if you had one approved post, all others would be automatically approved. Well…that was fine until things got out of hand. I won’t open my mouth and say what went down with who and who was all involved, but I’m trying to put a cap in it before it get’s worse and mud starts flying everywhere.

Let’s just say yesterday was our busiest day on this blog with a 108 hits. So far a new record. >w<

Anyways, I fear that face to face meeting with undisclosed party is unavoidable in the near future simply because this town is much to small to do that. Whether or not it will end in conflict I have no idea, but I am planning to be on my best behavior when the time does. I can't say that I've been a perfect angel in the past, but this is all just bull shit. Left over drama bull shit over Yamilia is still flying around a bit too. Sure, I understand that everyone is innocent until proven guilty; doesn't mean we still want anything to do with her.

I'm hoping that come the Christmas months, things will calm down a bit and people will just chill out and relax. =_=

Favorite VG Tracks of All Times

This isn’t actually what I was planning to post in the blog today but since I pretty much already have it typed up its going in anyways. Heh.

I was posting in this one thread about Favorite Music/Themes from Video Games and I put together a few of my all times favorites and figured I might as well share them with all of you as well. Maybe you’ll find a few new tracks you would like to add to your MP3 player or a few new games to play that you don’t have a hold of yet. Of course, as you know me, I’m going to give my opinion on everything.

Another Side, Another Story – Kingdom Hearts II
The theme that can be heard on everyone’s favorite KH II Spoiler. Many a days I have watched this, waiting for the second game to come out. Now that the game has long since been released, this is still one of my most favorite songs. A bit of a mash up between the Organization XIII Theme (another favorite) and it’s own mix, it is a great song. It of course graces my KH Playlist long with the next song below.
Another Side Another Story Theme

Dive Into The Heart – Kingdom Hearts II
The theme that you hear when your in the stain glass tutorial area. Nice, relaxing yet mysterious. I spent many an hours leveling up here just to listen to this theme along with its battle theme as well. I feel sad when I can’t keeping re-spawning Nobodies/Heartless on account that you only get 3XP each.
Dive Into The Heart Theme

Hear the Cry of the Planet – Final Fantasy VII
My all time favorite VG Song EVER! Quite, mysterious and it fits perfectly as a theme for the City of the Ancients. The original is epic but the redone Voices Of the Life Steam version is Epic win all the way. If you like the Fading Entity remix from Voices of the Lifestream, you can download it and the rest of the Complete Final Fantasy VII Remix Soundtrack for free on their website.
Hear the Cry of the Planet – Original
Hear the Cry of The Planet (Fading Entity) – VoLs Remix

Burn My Dread (Last Battle) – Persona 3
The opening theme for Persona 3, Burn My Dread was epic win to begin with. Now as you face the Final Boss Battle against Death you get an awesome rap mixed with snips from the original song. There are currently two different version of the song, from PS3 and PS3 FES I believe. Below is the one you will find from PS3 FES Edition.
Burn My Dread -Last Battle-

Otherworld – Final Fantasy X
Also known as Braska’s Final Aeon its the song that is played during the boss battle with Jecht. A definite headbanger metal song which is rare to find in Final Fantasy. The perfect song if you just want to rock out or want to relive those boss battle moments.
Otherworld (Braska’s Final Aeon)

Under the Apple Tree – Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
One of my favorite things about Crisis Core (besides having more Zack Fair then one can handle >w<) is all the beautiful guitar pieces. This one is my all time favorite from the game because it captures that feeling which is so Zack and holds the music theme that is throughout the game. This is bound to eventually become my new ring tone. <3
Under the Apple Tree

Well…that’s all I can come up with at the moment that IS video game related. If you have a favorite Video Game Music/Theme that you would like to share, please comment back with a youtube link! I would love to hear it!

Crashing Anime Fannatiku “Rocktober”

Well, I saw that Nat posted on the Anime Utah forums about Their Anime Fannatiku “Rocktober” party they will be hosting October 30th at the Hurricane Public Library. After much deliberation my friend Karson and I decided that we are going to attend for just the hell of it. Maybe mess with the Fannatiku Members just a little bit since they already don’t like us. >:3

Even though we won’t get there until later in the evening we will be dressing up as well in Vampire Knight outfits. Karson will be going as Zero and I will be going as the eccentric Head Master Cross. Antics are sure to arise from this devilish pair! If you wish to come down and see us, here is the below information from their post:

When: October 30th 6pm-10pm
Where: Hurricane Library 36 south 300 west Hurricane Utah 84737
Why: To Rock, and spread the Jrock love!

WHITE TEXT SPOILER:
Why they are having the party the day BEFORE Halloween I will never know. However, this is good for us since we are planning to attend the Halloween Ball at the DSC on the 31st and wear our GOOD Halloween costumes. Heh
(highlight to read)

So anyways, come see us just for the hell of it! We’ll be there around 8:30ish or so since Karson doesn’t get out work until late and he needs to pick me up since my house is on the way. Then if you want more fun, come see us at the College Dance the next day! I’ll be going as a pretty little Gothic Lolita Witch. >w<

Official Date For Anime St. George 2010 Con!

It hasn’t even been a week since ASG 09 Con and yet people have already been chomping at the bit for us to announce the date for Anime St. George 2010.

Well, we are now proud to announce the official date for our next convention: Anime St. George 2010 Convention will be taking place at the Best Western Abbey Inn on September 25th 2010!

You heard it here first! Over the next few days I’ll be updating the Convention blog pages as well as the main website with all of the new updated information. Dealers and Artists Registration will be open at the First of the Year of 2010 and for those who come in from out of town, we also have some hotel rooms available at discount convention price so I will make sure to update that information first thing.

We are set to have a great convention this year and an official Press Release of our dates will be made shortly. Until then, we look forward to your comments and can’t wait to see you! If you don’t follow us on Twitter you should! It will help you stay updated on all of our latest blog posts and con info!

ASG 2010 In Planning Stages

Yes, you read right. Anime St. George 2010 is now planning stages. We have been getting all kinds of comments on Facebook and Twitter from all our fans begging us to announce the date of next years con. I’m happy to tell you that you won’t have to wait too incredibly long. ^_^

Even though we already have a date in mind, we are not announcing it until we set everything up with the hotel just in case there are some complications with it. I highly doubt that this will be the case on account we are doing it all a year in advance but the worst thing you can do is announce something and then change it. Just to throw you all a bone though, it WILL be at the Best Western Abbey Inn again and I’ll give you a little riddle to drive you crazy:

-It will be AFTER AnimeVegas
-It will be BEFORE AnimeBanzai
-It will NOT be on Homecoming Weekend.

I swear….I didn’t know that our last con was on homecoming weekend. I never go to homecoming so I had no idea until like…a month before the convention. Oh well….we still had a kick ass time anyways. Have a fun time trying to figure out that riddle. o_~

As for other spoilers…it is too soon to say. We’ll announce everything once we have it solidified. For now, just toil over what I have given you. Heheh….

Thanks for Attending ASG 2009!

Thanks everyone for attending Anime St. George 2009 Convention! We had a great turn out for our first convention and we have decided to come back for a second go in 2010! Dealer Pre-Registration will be opening at the first of the year and we will be announcing when we are opening Pre-Registration for Attendees.

A Special Thank you to Best Western Abbey Inn for having us and to our Dealers who attended as well!

Everyone seemed to have a fantastic time and we got some pictures and video’s to share with you! Angela Hughes uploaded some convention pictures for us as well as some videos from our most popular panel the Anime Dating Game. If you have any pictures you would like to share, please send them to us by either commenting here our tweeting the links to me on Twitter!

My brain is still fried to a nice golden crisp so I will get the Cosplay Panel overview up as soon as I get the time and my brain back into working order. The Cosplay Resources links and reviews are up now though.

REMEMBER!: We are updating the main website as new information for Anime St. George 2010 Con comes in as well as this blog and twitter regularly so remember to check back for updates! There will always be something new on here! We hope you all had a great time and come again next year!
