Kotaku has got word that the Japanese release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete has sold a whopping 100,000 copies on its first day at retail.

The sales milestone puts the popular flick above any other anime Blu-ray film released in 2008. Call it a hunch, but we’re fairly certain the inclusion of a playable demo of Final Fantasy XIII may have had something to do with it such a lucrative reception.

The film hits North America on June 2, and a quick glance at the bonus content reveals it’ll include an ‘exclusive sneak peak at Final Fantasy XIII’ – unfortunately, we’re still in the dark as to whether or not it’ll be in playable form like its Japanese counterpart.

Stay tuned.

    @7 'all them nerdy gamers' bought over 85 million Final Fantasy games, I suppose you could ask them how they manage to play such boring games. Out of interest, what would you consider an interesting game?

    yea if there was a playable demo,.. would there be a demo disc included for both xbox 360 and ps3 since the game is multiplat?

    I doubt a demo will come out for 360. If demo is released In US I can see it being exclusive for PS3. About the nerdy gamer comment I cant help that we have better taste in games compared to other people. I WOULD MUCH RATHER PLAY FINAL FANTASY AND GET MY MONEYS WORTH WITH GOOD STORY AND A LOT OF GAMEPLAY INSTEAD OF PLAYING A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER THATS 8 HOURS LONG OR A SPORTS GAME THATS THE SAME THING AS THE LEAST ONE BUT WITH BETTER GRAPHICS.

    I have a question regarding to Crisis Core and FF7 Advent Children. Is Genesis really Kadage??? (Look at the ending of Crisis Core)He was degenerating and Genesis's hair turned gray. Same color hair as Kadage. Hopefully I'll find out the truth.

    @7,17 You didn't make me mad, FF I can take it or leave it, they're not my favourite RPGs but they are decent. Maybe if you're not into FF you don't need to bother reading the news items about it, let alone posting, leave it to 'them nerdy gamers'.

    ALL GAMERS ARE NERDS some people like driving games some people like shooters some like rpgs and most will have combinations. ALL have opinions. And the most nerdy gamers will have their say on everything!

    @7/17 What a "nerd" likes or dislikes it's his own problem, I like FF games, am I a nerd? so be it... but you got to admit it's just plain rudeness to waltz in here calling ppl nerds... the nerds actually create the games you like as well, and they manage your internet connection , your bank account, and all sorts of things, be carefull...you never know when you might offend someone and get to see their bad side....

    ...BACK TO TOPIC...

    It's just taking too damn long to get our hands on these games, this delay is killing me, not to mention that outside Japan we haven't seen almost any rpg's and to make things worst, in Europe we're always the last ones to get our tiny hands on these tasties.

    listen people i got friends that play this game and yea iv played it once or twice but i thought it was stupid.  and the reason i call this kinda ppl nerds who play it is because i call my friends nerds when they play it. 

    just take a joke and get over it.  i wasnt tryin to hurt yalls feelings by calling people nerds.  but when i say sumthing like that dont in turn call me a pu$$y.  4real what is that?  idk

    o yea my deff.  of a nerd is someone who plays games and there more into games then anything else like a life.  virgins who rather play games than go out friday nights to a club or a party.  so take it or leave it. 

    o yea one more thing i love how yall are talkin about me on this post.  i got friends that look up this website too and they thinks its great.  more ppl rather talk about me then this game.  that shows how stupid this game is.  peace. sry for the long post.

    Simply don't feed trolls? Those nerds "virgins who rather" troll with stupid opinions "than go out friday nights to a club or a party."

    Oh and by the way, "IMO".
