\nTo help get people excited for the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth<\/strong>, Square Enix<\/strong> is releasing Advent Children Complete<\/strong> in US theatres for the first time next month.\n<\/p>\n

\nAfter a four year wait, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally releasing at the end of February, which will see the return of Cloud and co as they head out into the wider world of Gaia. In anticipation of its release, Square Enix announced yesterday that in collaboration with Sony Pictures and Fathom Events, it will be releasing Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Complete in US cinemas. For those that don’t know, Complete is essentially a director’s cut of the film released four years after the original, improving in the visual quality, adding in smaller changes like more blood, and it’s 26 minutes longer too.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf you’re interested in catching this cut of the film in theatres, you’ll need to get your tickets booked soon, as it’s only available on two dates, February 21, which will screen the English dub of the film, and February 22, which will be the original Japanese voice cast, with English subtitles. The press release<\/a> for the announcement stresses that those attending should make it there early, as there will be “exclusive introductory content, including a history of Final Fantasy 7 and its connection to Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children.”\n<\/p>\n
