The latest 1up podcast is about Evangelion for some reason. They claim Final Fantasy 7 was heavily inspired by Evangelion. I've never heard that before.

Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo |OT| :Q

Haha, good call.
But really, the ordinary troubles problems of being human go on no matter what. Isn't that a big part of what Evangelion was saying?
There's no way we get it in 2013. It'll probably be mid to late 2013 before it's even released in Japan and then it'll take Funimation close to another year to release the English version.
The 2.22 DVD/Blu-ray with the English dub came out in April, and the movie was in theatres with subs in January. I remember there was a long gap between seeing it theater with subs before the English version came out.
Maybe because this one was so successful in JP they'll do it faster?
Looks like Final may have been delayed. They updated the site for it with the new title and took off the 2013 date that it used to have.

Shocking. Shooockking.
That's my guess too, though it could be 2015 and I wouldn't be shocked. Anything earlier than that and I'll have to reevaluate my perception of Anno.
2015 release for dat poetry/full circle.

*throws entire wallet full of maxed out credit cards towards Japan*
I so want to see this right now D:
If that happens I totally expect
the final reveal to be that rebuild was a prequel, lol
I guess you could claim that the WEAPONS are comparable to the Angels, that Sephiroth and JENOVA are Kaworu and Lilith, Hojo is Gendo, and the Life-Stream is kinda like the LCL stuff?
Just a random attempt there.

No I've actually heard that before as well, I can't seem to place it though. And man... This is gonna be a long, long wait for me. I just hope that I've forgotten all of the spoilers I've read by the time it comes out
SHOCKING NEWS!
1.0 -> 2.0 was 2 years...
2.0 -> 3.0 was 3 years...
3.0 -> Final should only be 4 years going by that pattern!
2016 here we come!!!!
That's the new title.

How come there are two lines; have they always been like that?
It's the musical symbol for repeat.

Hey does anyone know if 2.22 blu-ray has japaneses dialogue and English subs? Thanks
Can't wait! God Warrior Invades Tokyo was a teaser for 4.0 after all!!! Lol.
And will happen again.
Man, I miss BSG.

Interesting. I went to the Wiki article on music notes to see some of the others.
However, I noticed a possible "pun" with the End and Repeat signs, since the title uses a colon (used by the Repeat sign). So it can mean Final and Repeat.
Bold double bar line, Bold double barline
Used to indicate the conclusion of a movement or an entire composition.
Repeat signs
Enclose a passage that is to be played more than once. If there is no left repeat sign, the right repeat sign sends the performer back to the start of the piece or the nearest double bar.
Volume 13 just came out this month. Only one more left I believe (don't spoil volume 13 as I haven't found it yet in a store and waiting to find something else I want to order online so I get free shipping)
SHOCKING NEWS!
1.0 -> 2.0 was 2 years...
2.0 -> 3.0 was 3 years...

2016 here we come!!!!
Well 1.0 -> 2.0 was more like 1 year 9 months while 2.0 -> 3.0 is 3 years 5 months. In any case. still think 2015 for FINAL, at the latest.
That depends, will Sadamoto need to take time off to work on the film again?
In any case, looking at the text "logo" for the final film, I'm becoming more and more convinced that they intended it to mean "repeat" as much as they did "end," if not more. I'll explain when I finish my dinner.
EDIT: OK, so as I was saying, they spent a lot of effort and marketing making these films a departure from the old, discarding a lot of things that defined the old TV shows and films, including making the characters super stretched vertically, changing the "エ" and "オ" to the archaic "ヱ" and "ヲ" and discarding "新世紀" from the title:
Contrast that to the title for the next movie:
They obviously want to evoke the Evangelion of old for FINAL despite their efforts to differentiate in the first three films. The spelling of Evangelion is the same as before, returning to more normal character proportions (though End of Eva did use slightly stretched characters), and removing the "新" and replacing it at the front of the title.
But all that side, what caught my attention was the supposed colon in that title. It doesn't look like the colon used in the title for the first three films at all, even accounting for the different character proportions.
If you stretch the title so it matches that of the previous ones, you get this:
Compared to:
Spacing aside, the font is pretty much identical but what is supposedly the colon is definitely not the same character as used in the previous titles. It seems like it was intentionally designed to be (or look like) a "repeat" symbol rather than a colon followed by an "end" symbol. On the other hand, the dot separating "シン" and "エヴァ..." does match the colon in the previous titles.
I'm probably overanalysing it, but eh.

And merge with the dirty whiny Rebuild haters? Yuck
Yeah, probably.
You did point out something I had missed. They set back the characters from wo to o and we to e. Additionally, with the removal of the "Shin" from the subtitle, it does seem intentionally to read as New Evangelion* Movie:|| (Redo or End).
*Original TV katakana spelling.
Will both worlds collide.

So tickets are like 18 bucks each?
even UK cinema tickets aren't quite that bad yet...So tickets are like 18 bucks each?
Well it's more like 1400-1500yen, but the exchange rate is bad for the USD.

Eva bigger than Animal Crossing confirmed. Eat your heart out Nintendo.
If you buy cinema food anywhere in the world, you're getting ripped off. Fact of life!

True. Thinking about it more, the price difference isn't "that" huge, but interesting all the same.
