ZOE: A lot of fun and a lot of highspeed action and some really great effects. I think it's now the time to buy a PS2 if you don't have one.

FF9: Don't have it, but I played it for about one hour and I think it's not bad at all. There are some ugly "Bayern" texts in the German version. Hard to read.

You lucky bastard! ;)
I have to wait until the 30th before I can pick up my copy. :D But yeah, I bought a PS2 recently after seeing the long trailer for MGS2. Of course, I play some other games on it too. ;)

I heard of Onimusha - actually hoping to play it this weekend...

I haven't had much play time on FF9 either, but from what I have seen, it really is an amazing game - great story and I love the character designs. It also plays really well - kind of like the best parts of all of the previous games so far, with the bad parts chopped away (ie - 10 minute movies when using a spell. :p)

In the states? I think this month, but I'm not absolutly sure.

I'm sure you can find the exact release date on one of this sites.

The guy from buena vista that was showing the movie, was saying that the production still isn't finished so the date is not absolutly defenitive.

But I hope to see the finished version at this date :D

It got moved up a week because Universal blocked the 18th by releasing Jurassic Park 3, and of course not wanting to go up against that movie, Sony pulled the Final Fantasy release up by a week. Which is good and bad at the same time

THERE hasn't been ENOUGH advertising done and some theaters haven't even gotten the trailers to be shown.

The budget on this movie is well over the $400 million mark (dont believe anything that says its $125 million..they are absolutely not true), and of course it will fail miserably in the Box office. Itll try to "lure" the non-sci fi, non-gamers, but alas, ITS the only crowd that will go out to see it. And with dismal failures on Animated feturettes, Sony/Square gonna havta pray that it will make its money back when they release a special edition for the PS2.
The last "sci fi" animated feature only made 1/3 of its production cost at the Box office and only did another 1/3 when it was released to video and DVD. But maybe a tie into a game will even it.

Hehe, sorry, for the long post. I am getting a copy of the "screener" from an industry friend, and I know three animators on the movie. They have good things to say about it, but they know that they are not going to get much out of it.

Since no sneak preview for me (and I live 20 minutes from the studio) you'd think they'd had a sneak here?
